Great post on ice milk, ice cream and techniques of freezing the mixture. The papaya and nuts are perfect toppings. Thanks for making Dorie’s recipe with me.

Wow, I can’t believe the temperature in Seattle!
Your Vanilla Ice Cream looks so refreshing with the papaya and I love the candied nuts! (Also love your ice cream serving dish!)
Ice milk sounds like the perfect dessert for the hot summer days/nights!

It seems like the more expensive machines should be better, but not so. The one upside to our style machines is you can freeze batch after batch without needing to re-freeze the canister. Buying an extra canister would be the solution, as long as you have the available freezer space.

This is a fantastic post Carol! I’ve used a frozen canister ice cream maker for several years, and recently received one of the more expensive IC makers as a gift. I’ve made several attempts to make ice cream using the more expensive model, but have been unhappy with the results. Now I understand…thank you for the insight!

I have made a number of things from The Sweet Life and I think it’s a great book. In addition to interesting recipes she includes a lot of good technique and ingredient information as well as lots of misc. helpful tips. The collection of recipes includes many familiar items, but a lot of very inventive and interesting desserts as well. I also really love her use of different spices and interesting flavor combinations.

Basil ice cream is fantastic! In fact Kate Zuckerman has a recipe for it in her book, The Sweet Life.

You are making me crave an ice milk malt from a restaurant chain here in KC. I grew up eating them and I love them!

Carol!!!!!!

How are you? I love your newsletters and website. You have inspired me to launch my own business some day. I love the entrepreneurial spirit!

I have never had ice milk before and I am now curious. Speaking of herbal ice creams, I plan to make a batch of basil ice cream . . sounds interesting huh?

Yours look picture perfect good. I love this ice cream as well. Simple, tasty, and not too artificial sweet.

Take care, my friend!
