BB_mofo posted... I'm big into making my own ice cream because it allows me to make my own flavors.
I made a flavor I called "Blueberry Pancake." It's maple syrup flavored ice cream with ribbons of blueberry preserves in it.
Some other flavors I've come up with and made:
Samoa - chocolate-caramel-coconut flavored ice cream with bits of shortbread cookie
Princessatorte - green dyed marzipan flavored ice cream with ribbons of raspberry preserves in it
Persimmon Cookie - persimmon flavored icecream with rum soaked golden raisins
Bananoffee - banana and caramel flavored ice cream
Pineapple UpsideDown Cake - Caramel flavored ice cream with rum-soaked pineapple pieces
The secret to an unctuous mouth feel in my icecream is a little bit of gelatin added to the cooked creme-anglaise base. Let it cool and set over night before mixing. I use a ton of egg yolks and heavy cream to make a very rich ice cream. Most people can only handle a small gelato-size scoop.
That sounds really cool! My parents used to make ice cream sometimes when I was a kid. They had some duds, but I remember really liking their peach ice cream. You make me want to make my own and experiment. I'd love to try all those, they sound delicious.
