Learning how to make homemade ice cream was the death of what was left of my waistline. I now own 4 or 5 Cuisinart ice cream makers, and I’m lusting after a commercial machine!
I love DL’s book, and also Rose Levy Beranbaum’s ice cream book, “Rose’s Ice Cream Bliss.”
Some favorites:
- Brambleberry crisp, a Jeni’s ice cream recipe she published in her cookbook and available here. My favorite ice cream of all time. Involves three components: the vanilla base, a quick berry jam you make on the stovetop and cool, and a streusel you make with oats (kind of like a granola) in the oven.
Everyone loves it. Her base is eggless, btw.
- Serious Eat’s strawberry ice cream
Strawberries are my favorite food and when they’re in season, this is one of the things I love to make with them. I did a side-by-side test with Lebovitz’s famous strawberry sour cream ice cream last summer, and while both are great, I prefer the Serious Eats version.
- DL’s chocolate sorbet, which everyone raved about and I was like “no way is this as good as commercial chocolate ice cream.” I ate my words, and more.
