It has to be actual ice cream though. Look carefully at whatever package you might have, a lot of them say "frozen milk product" or "dairy confection".
Real ice cream has some pretty exacting requirements before it can be called as such. | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 1:19:40 PM | I made Ranier cherry ice cream over the weekend. I'm sure to make it again. As an experiment, to keep the chunks of fruit from freezing hard, I cooked and strained the chopped cherries, mixed the juices into the custard, and macerated the fruit in a little lemoncello before mixing it in toward the end. It worked like a charm. The fruit absorbed enough alcohol that it's lower freezing temperature kept the cold fruit soft. In the future, if I don't want the flavor sharpening of lemon, I'll use vodka.
I made some Lime Basil ice cream last summer that was a huge hit. (Not lime and basil, but lime basil, a basil variety with limey flavor notes.) Some time next month, Pineapple Mint! (Not pineapple and mint, but etc.)
Anybody remember the ice creams on Iron Chef? My favorite was eel brain ice cream. (Not eels and brains . . .) The judges were terrified of it. I love Japanese comedy!
Note to locals: the best ice cream in KC has both moved and changed names. Poppy's, formerly Doc's, moved from behind that chiropractic on Blue Ridge to downtown Lee's Summit. A great place to stop on your way back from Powell Gardens. I highly recommend the Gianduja flavor, which is an exquisite blend of chocolate and hazelnut. But every flavor I've tried is heavenly, creamy, moan-making. The ices are intense and refreshing, and include revolving flavors like Lemon-Blackberry. (That is lemon AND blackberry, not some special lemon tinged blackberry. That would be weird.)
Oh! Here's their mix menu. Sadly, I don't find a list of their flavors, but you'll love them, i promise. lees-summit.com/businesses/25991.html
Cheers!

I just remembered. I lived in the Boston area for a few years, where mom 'n pop ice cream shops abounded. My favorite place sat on the highway in front of a hill covered in blackberry and raspberry bushes. Come August, you could get berry ice cream there (one or the other or mixed) an hour or two after the fruit was picked, with even fresher fruit on top. Maybe that's my favorite. | |

I could buy chocolate soy ice cream, but it's more fun to make it from scratch
You have got to be kidding...soy ice cream!!! The people that put "soy ice cream" or "soy milk", for that matter, on labels, should be arrested. Their is no such thing as "soy milk" or "soy ice cream". Milk is the lactated secretion of a mammal...kinda hard to get that from a soybean! | |

Posted: 7/22/2008 2:04:25 PM | Sad to say, I never grew out of the Bubble Gum Chunk.... You know, the pink stuff with the chicklets in it. Go figure...
Then, its followed with some more adult flavors like "Chunky Monkey" and "Phish Food" or however Ben & Jerry's decides to spell it these days...
I guess it really depends on my mood and taste cravings whether or not I will stray from the norm, but once in a while one gets a craving for something unusual to themselves...

Breyer's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Breyer's Coffee
There's nothing like chocolate and coffee, so coffee ice cream with chocolate sauce really floats my boat. | |

Posted: 7/24/2008 7:07:02 PM | | Hi Cowtrucker, if your up for something different try pretzels with your ice cream. Its a great combination. Its a Pennsylvania thing.I like Breyers plain old vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, and Snyders Pretzels. Both made here in the Keystone State.If you think you want to try it and you like it, let me know what you think. | |

Posted: 7/27/2008 4:56:40 PM | When I was a very little girl, before lactose intolerance set in, there was the Town Clown Ice cream and confectionary down on the square where I live. It's long gone, but they had a black licorice ice cream that I adored. Turned my mouth a horrid shade of gray green, but MmmMmm when you are little that was cool.
I've never found that flavor again anywhere, and I'd suffer the bloating and gastric problems just to taste that ice cream one more time.

Posted: 7/31/2008 1:56:10 AM | WOW Ice Cream,
Unlike most people, I am not a big ice cream lover, but I cetainly like certain flavors/types. Most are a little unusual, I guess.
From the grocery store...Kroger used to sell Spumoni ice cream, quite good. And Hagen Daz, or Fruzen Glazja (sp?) French Vanilla. Oh, and there is an organic Creamery in Texas that puts out great dairy products, dang I can't remember the name right now, but they made one that had semi-sweet chocolate chips, fresh banana and Texas pecans, fantastic.
From an Ice Cream Shop in Houston called Lone Star...a to die for flavor called Hazelnut chocolate fleck. It was a hazelnut flavored dense ice cream with the tiniest flecks of unsweet chocolate in it. I mean they were so small they were nearly microscopic.
From Cold Stone Creamery....Sweet Cream with yellow cake cubes, cherries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries mixed in. Sinful.
There is also a place in Houston called Dolce and Freddo which makes great cappuccino and good ice creams.
From the home machine....Fresh Banana, Fresh or even Maraschino Cherry, Salty Texas Pecan Halves in French Vanilla
