Take two pints of fresh, ripe strawberries, and prepare them by cleaning and topping them and
cutting them into medium sized pieces. Then add in 1/2 cup of sugar and the juice of 1/2 lemon.

2 C (450 ml) heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Heat granulated sugar and 1/4 C (60 ml) of the water in a large skillet on medium high heat until
the sugar melts and boils, stirring occasionally. Boil until mixture is a dark brown; remove from
heat. Gradually stir in remaining 3/4 C (180 ml) water. (I love this part, cause the syrup boils up
when the hot water is added) Cool to room temperature and set aside. Beat eggs in a medium
bowl until thick and lemon colored; gradually beat in powdered sugar. Stir in cream and vanilla; stir
in the caramel mixture. Chill. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s

Place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan large enough to eventually hold the
milk and cream. Dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat. This may take a while. An
alternative is to use the microwave, and then transfer the sugar solution to a saucepan. Increase
to high heat and cook the syrup until it is golden amber colored. While the sugar is carmelizing,
scald the milk and cream. As soon as the caramel is a golden-amber color, slowly add the milk

Beat egg yolks lightly. Beat in sugar. Heat the cream/milk on the stove. As it's heating, beat in

cocoa powder. Heat cream/milk/cocoa mix until steaming. Stir into egg/sugar mix. Add vanilla

extract. Cool. Freeze in ice cream maker.

Notes:

I use Dutch processed cocoa (instead of American processed), but I'm not sure how much

difference it makes. I've tried using a higher milk fat content, but then the mix takes on the

consistency of pudding when cooled, and doesn't freeze hard enough in ice cream maker.

CHOCOLATE version 2

4 oz unsweetened chocolate (I used Ghirardelli)

1 1/4 cup milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup sugar

1 cup cream

1 pinch salt

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup milk

Melt chocolate over low heat while heating milk over low heat. Gradually stir milk into melted

chocolate. If you don't stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump and you will have difficulty

breaking it down. If you stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump, but you'll be able to break it

down when you add a little more milk. Heat while stirring until smooth. Mixture will become thick.

Beat sugar into eggs. Stir in hot chocolate/milk mixture into eggs. Add cream, salt, vanilla, and

extra 1/2 cup milk. Cool. Freeze in ice cream maker.

CHOCOLATE version 3

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

sauce pan. Stir occasionally until chocolate starts to melt. When chocolate partially melted, stir in

cocoa powder. When hot (and chocolate fully melted and cocoa dissolved) but not boiling, remove

from stove and stir in to eggs. Add second cup of cream and vanilla. Cool. and make in ice cream

maker.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND

Chocolate Ice Cream mix (see recipe)

3/4 cup toasted almonds

Make a batch of chocolate ice cream (see recipe). When nearly frozen, add the toasted

almonds.

Note: You will obtain better results if you toast your own almonds. Buy blanched almonds, toast in

the oven at 250 for 2-4 minutes (watch them carefully so they don't burn). You may want to chop

the almonds before toasting if you prefer smaller pieces.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER

2 oz bittersweet chocolate

5 Tbl cocoa powder

2 cup milk

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup sugar

1 cup cream

Gradually stir in cocoa powder and milk while continuing to heat. You want the consistency to be

thick but not solid as you add the milk and cocoa powder. Beat sugar into eggs. Stir hot

chocolate/milk mixture into eggs. Add cream and vanilla extract. Cool. Just before adding to ice

cream maker, stir a cup of ice cream mixture into almond butter. Once mixed, stir into rest of ice

cream mixture. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

thoroughly, the chocolate syrup and instant coffee. Freeze as is for 3 hours.

CHOCOLATE FLAKE

If you like little chewy bits of dark chocolate in your ice cream then this chocolate chip is just the

thing for you. This is prepared just like the Double Chocolate (see recipe), except when the

chocolate is dissolved in the double boiler, pour the thick chocolate sauce directly into the

prepared ice cream mix. The chocolate will "shatter" into thousands of chocolate bits and a few

large clumps. Immediately beat on low speed mixer until all the large clumps are broken up into

tiny chocolate flakes. Allow to cool completely, chilling in the refrigerator for about four hours (this

"ages" the mix), and freeze in your ice cream freezer.

Comments: --------- I have mixed the ingredients together and just left it in a wide tupperware

dish in the freezer until frozen, without the extra beating and it was just fine. This ice cream is one

of my favorites. It has a smooth texture and you can vary the intensity of the flavor by how strong

you make the coffee. Personally, I like it strong and will make the coffee by mixing 1 cup of a good

quality, freshly ground coffee with 1 cup of hot water and letting it steep for a few minutes. Then I

strain out the coffee grounds with cheese cloth or a coffee filter.

DILL PICKLE

This was designed for our expectant mothers. Sort of combines the whole shootin' match in one

dish. People always want to know, is it dill or sweet? Well, it's both, and it's much better than you'd

think. For this unusual but very tasty ice cream, use the ice cream base for the Old Time Vanilla

Ice Cream. Then add 2 teaspoons of dill weed and freeze according to the manufacturer’s

directions. When the ice cream is nearly frozen, add in 3/4 cup of chopped sweet pickles.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE

This is a double chocolate ice cream guaranteed to get your endorphins flowing. It's made from

both Dutch process cocoa and Baker's chocolate liqueur. Prepare the mix as for the Old Time

Vanilla (see recipe) ice cream, but instead of the brown sugar, use ½ cup of white granulated

sugar. Set the mix nearby after it is prepared. Then in a double boiler with the water hot but not

boiling, melt 2 ounces of good quality baker’s unsweetened chocolate. When completely melted,

add 1 tablespoon of Dutch chocolate cocoa powder. This chocolate sauce will thicken

immediately, so quickly add some of the base mix, 1/4 cup at a time stirring constantly. The

chocolate sauce will now thicken into a massive thick ball of chocolate. Keep adding base mix up

to a cup and keep stirring until you have a smooth thick chocolate sauce. When it has cooled

slightly, add to the base mix and stir vigorously. Not all the chocolate will dissolve; you’ll still have

thousands of very tiny chocolate bits in the mix, which is as it should be, but you'll prbably need to

strain out a number of the larger chunks, perhaps several tablespoonfuls, but that's ok, that's how

you know you have a supersaturated suspension of chocolate! Let the mix chill in the refrigerator

for four hours (allowing it to age) and then freeze according to the directions with your ice cream

freezer.

Beat eggs well. add salt. blend in sugar and pudding mix. add milks. stir well. Pour in container,

(plastic works best), store in freezer at least over night.

EGG NOG ICE CREAM

6 eggs, separated

10 tablespoons sugar

pinch of salt

1/4 cup brandy

1/4 cup rum

2 tablespoons dry sherry

1 cup milk

2 cup heavy cream

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

Cook the egg yolks, sugar, salt, brandy, rum and sherry in a double boiler until very light and

thickened. Remove from heat, add the milk and cream; cool. Beat the egg whites until stiff, fold

them in the cream mixture. Pour into a ice cream machine and process according to

manufacturer's directions. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.

FRENCH VANILLA BEAN

This is an extremely rich custard ice cream in the best French tradition and flavored with real

vanilla beans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk three eggs, add 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened

condensed milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 pint whipping cream, 1 pint Half and Half, and 1/8 tsp

salt. Mix thoroughly and transfer to large saucepan. Take one long vanilla bean, split lengthwise

and chop into 1/4" lengths, then add them to the saucepan. Heat the mix while stirring constantly

to a low simmer and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes. Strain into a large bowl, straining

out the larger pieces of vanilla bean. Allow to cool and age in the refrigerator for about four hours

and then freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions.Ooh-la-la!

FRESH FRUIT

4 c. milk

4 eggs, beaten

2 c. sugar

1/2 t. salt

2 c. heavy cream

2 T. vanilla

Sliced Peaches or Strawberries

Prepare sliced peaches or strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and allow to set until the make

juice. Use enough fruit to make about 1 qt. of fruit puree. Put fruit and juice into blender and

coarsely puree. You should have about 1 blender full or about 1 qt. Add fruit puree to the custard

mixture which has been cooled or chilled overnight in the refrigerator. (I always make the custard

the day before and put in refrigerator. I prepare the fruit and let it sit overnight in the refrigerator as

well.) This recipe assumes you have a 1 gallon freezer. The freezer can should never be filled

more that 3/4 full because the ice cream expands as it freezes and it will overflow if the can is too

full. You can also make raspberry ice cream but don't use as many raspberries (probably 2 cups

of puree is enough) as they have a much more intense flavor. Actually you can add just about any

fruit you would like to try but these are all the ones I have tried.

FRESH PEACH

2 c Ripe peaches; finely chopped

1 1/4 c Sugar

1/2 Juice of lemon

2 lg Eggs

2 c Heavy or whipping cream

1 c Milk

Note: Small peaches because have more flavor and less water than the larger ones. Combine the

peaches, ½ cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours,

stirring the mixture every 30 minutes. Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the

juice into another bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl

until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then

continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and

whisk to blend. Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and

freeze following manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before if

is done) add the peaches, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous

quart.

FRUIT TOFU-BASED ICE CREAM

2 1/2 t Unflavored gelatin

1/8 t Salt

1/2 c Sugar

1 1/4 c Frozen fruit and/or berry -juice concentrate, thawed

Syrup:

1/2 cup water

1/3 cup sugar

2 Tbsp. grated, peeled, fresh ginger root

To make Syrup:

In pan, simmer water, sugar, and fresh ginger 3-4 min., stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool 5

min.

diffuser.) Heat gently, stirring constantly, until it becomes a thin custard. Don't allow it to simmer or

boil. Cool mixture and freeze according to instructions.

GRAPE SHERBET

Grape flavored sherbet. This one is the coldest, most refreshing treat I've ever found for a hot

summer day.

Whisk 1 egg* in a bowl and add 1 can sweetened condensed milk. When thoroughly mixed, add

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. Take a 2 litre bottle of grape soda and shake it carefully until all

the "fizz" is gone and add it to the mix. Chill completely in the refrigerator before freezing, then

freeze in your ice cream freezer. *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella from

uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

GRAPEFRUIT ICE CREAM

1 Cup Grapefruit juice

1 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Whipping Cream

1/2 Cup Whole Milk

Mix ingredients just before putting in machine. Very nice texture. Strong grapefruit flavor.

Surprisingly good. Even those who grimaced on being told the flavor of the day had seconds.

Note: Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is far better than bottled. Also, use pink or red grapefruit.

GREAT PUMPKIN

Start on Halloween and make it right through Thanksgiving. No one will eat pumpkin pie again

after trying this holiday treat.

For this recipe, prepare a batch of the Ultimate Butter Pecan ice cream mix, but omit the pecans.

Then take an additional 2 eggs* and lightly beat them in a separate bowl, and add an additional

1/2 cup sugar. Add one cup of the prepared Butter Pecan ice cream mix, and when blended

thoroughly, add one 15 oz. can of pumpkin, and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Add this to the Butter Pecan

mix and freeze in your ice cream freezer. *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella

from uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

yolks and sugar together until they form a ribbon. Combine egg mixture and milk, then strain into

a saucepan. Cook over mediumhigh heat until just before the mixture reaches a boil. Remove

from heat and cool completely over ice water. Beat heavy cream and half and half over ice water

until frothy. Pour into egg mixture and mix well. Process in ice cream maker according to

manufacturer's instructions. Freeze 2-3 hours before serving.

Recommend serving with the following raspberry sauce:

Raspberry Sauce:

1 1/2 pints raspberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

Place all in a saucepan, boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Puree in a food processor, strain

and cool in refrigerator before using.

GUINNESS STOUT

1 cup water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 1/2 cups evaporated milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup Guinness stout

In a heavy saucepan whisk together the water and the cornstarch and simmer the mixture over

moderate heat, whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the milks, the salt, and the sugar, heat the mixture

over moderately low heat, whisking, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved, and remove

the pan from the heat. Let the mixture cool completely, stir in the Guinness, and freeze the

mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

HAZELNUT

1 cup hazelnuts

4 cups light cream

3/4 cup sugar

3 egg yolks

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cover

and let stand for 15 minutes. Wrap the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and rub to loosen the skins.

Cool completely. Finely grind the hazelnuts in a food processor and set aside. Scald the cream in

a saucepan. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the hot cream. Return

mixture to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until custard thickens and leave a path on the

back of the spoon when you draw your finger across. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from

heat stir in the vanilla. Strain mixture in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate. Transfer the mixture to

the ice cream machine, add the nuts and process according to manufacturer’s instructions.

HOMEMADE VANILLA version 1

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup Karo light corn syrup

4 eggs

1 1/2 to 2 quarts Half-n-Half

Mix the sugar and Karo syrup with an electric or hand rotary beater. Add one egg at a time, mixing

completely after each one. Add 1 quart of Half-n-Half and mix thoroughly.

Optional: At this point you can add fresh fruit or chocolate if you like flavored ice cream. Pour into

the metal can from the ice cream maker, also put in the paddle thing. Add enough of the 2nd

quart of Half-n-Half to the fill line mark. Put the can into the outside bucket, pack chunks of ice

and rock salt (do in layers of about 2" inches of ice then 2-3 handfuls of salt). Turn on the ice

cream maker and let it go until done. After it is done, remove the paddle and scrap off the ice

cream, put the lid back on and pack more ice and salt up over the top and let it sit for 2-3 hours

HOMEMADE VANILLA version 2

1 T cornstarch

6 C milk

1+1/2 C sugar

4 eggs

1/2 t salt

4 C whipping cream

1 T pure vanilla extract

Mix cornstarch to a thin, smooth paste with a little of the milk. Combine with 4 C of the milk and all

the sugar, and cook in top of double boiler over boiling water, with occasional stirring, for 20

minutes. Remove from heat. Beat eggs until light colored; gradually stir into the hot mixture and

return to heat. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Cool, pour through a strainer into your

ice-cream-maker's canister, and add the remaining ingredients, stirring well. [If you want to throw

in crushed fruit or other extras, now's the time.] Once the lid's on the canister, follow your usual

ice-rock salt-cranking routine. Makes ~ 4 quarts.

Notes: I usually pour the final 2 C milk, salt, whipping cream, and vanilla extract into the canister

and have it sitting in the 'fridge while I cook the rest of the mixture. Once everything's cooked and

in the canister, you don't have to crank it right away, so the cooking part can be done way ahead

of time. With our hand-cranked maker [cranking until it's extremely hard to turn the crank], the

stuff emerges at a easy-to-slide-down-your-throat consistency. We like to finish making it before

the dinner guests arrive, then keep it in the freezer until time for dessert, at which point the

consistency seems ideal. By the next morning, it's much harder than store-bought-withpreservatives

varieties.

HONEY VANILLA

A big hit at the Highland Games in Kansas City it's a honey/oatmeal flavor.

Prepare a 2 qt batch of the Old Time Vanilla mix and then add 1 cup of honey. Mix thoroughly and

set in the refrigerator to age the mix. While the mix is aging, take 1/2 cup oatmeal and boil for

about fifteen minutes in 1 ½ cups of water. Strain the water through a fine strainer and save the

water. The cooked oatmeal can be eaten or discarded. Add the water to the ice cream mix and let

it chill in the refrigerator for three hours. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the

manufacturer’s directions.

ITALIAN BANANA DREAM

4 bananas

2 tbsp lemon juice

4 egg yolks

½ can sweetened condensed milk

1 ½ cups sugar

1 ½ pt whipping cream

½ pt whole milk

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp vanilla

This is a dense very flavorful Italian ice cream. This one is so good it might create a new banana

growing industry in Italy. The secret to this recipe is to use very ripe bananas. If they are slightly

over-ripe, that is even better. Crush bananas and add lemon juice and set aside. In a large mixing

bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, whipping cream and whole

milk. Then add salt and vanilla extract. Freeze this mix in an ice cream freezer and when thick

add the prepared bananas and continue to freeze. This is best when served very cold. It has

extraordinary flavor and "mouthfeel". *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella

from uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

JALAPENO MINT ICE CREAM:

For you jalapeno lovers:

Start with slicing open 1-3 ripe jalapeno chile peppers (depending on your macho rating), remove

the placenta and seeds, and chop them very fine. Then add them to a batch of the Old Time

Vanilla Ice Cream, also adding 1 tsp of mint extract. Let the mix age in the refrigerator for at least

four hours before freezing. Mucho Bueno!!!

LEMON version 1

500 ml table cream

250 ml milk

5 lemons

8 egg yolks

Bring a thin peel of the lemons to a boil with the cream, the milk, and the sugar. Mix into egg

yolks, and heat on low until slightly thickened. Strain and cool. Juice lemons and add to mix. Make

in ice cream machine. Notes: Don't add lemon juice until just before mixing in ice cream machine.

LEMON version 2

150 gr sugar

200 cc whipping cream

200 cc milk

a little salt

juice of about 3 lemons

Mix the white of the egg till it's `compact'. Mix all the other ingredients completely. Pour it in the

ice-maker or any other bowl. When using an ice-maker it will be ready in 20 minutes. When you

have not put it in the freezer and mix it every 5 minutes first, and after a while every 10 minutes.

LEMON DILL MUSTARD ICE CREAM

Don't scoff until you've tried this unbelievable ice cream!!

Use the recipe for the Old Time Vanilla, but substute white granular sugar for the brown sugar,

and add 3 TBSP Lemon Dill Mustard.

LEMON VANILLA

A one an' a two...Lawrence Welk would have loved it. Exquisite lemon flavor blended with a hefty

vanilla. Clean three ripe lemons squeeze out the juice saving 1/2 cup of strained juice. Grate the

zest from the squeezed lemons and add it to the juice. Mix a two quart batch of the Old Time

Vanilla (see recipe) Ice Cream omitting the brown sugar. Before freezing the ice cream, add the

strained lemon juice and add 1cup of granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly and then age (chill in the

refrigerator) for four hours. Now freeze in an ice cream freezer according the the manufacturer’s

directions.

LICORICE

6 large egg yolks

1-1/2 cups milk

1-1/4 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar

10 one inch soft black licorice candies

1 Tbs. Pernod liqueur

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Lightly whisk egg yolks in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients, except vanilla, in a heavy

saucepan over medium high heat. Stir frequently until mixture just comes to a boil. In a steady

stream, slowly whisk mixture into beaten egg yolks. Return mixture to pan over medium low heat

and cook, stirring constantly, until it registers 170° F on a candy thermometer (do not boil).

Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Discard

licorice pieces. Cover and chill in refrigerator. Freeze in an ice cream maker 20-30 minutes until

frozen.

LIME

1 1/3 Cup Lime juice

1 1/3 Cup Sugar

1 Cup Whipping Cream

1 Cup Whole Milk

Mix ingrediants just before putting in machine. Very strong lime flavor. I felt it was too strong.

Other's liked it this strong. If I made it again, I would reduce the lime juice and sugar to 3/4 cup

each, reduce the milk to 1/2 cup, and leave the amount of cream unchanged at 1 cup.

MAPLE-BLUEBERRY

3 cups blueberries

1 cup maple syrup

1 cup whipping cream (optional)

Puree blueberries. Add maple syrup and cream. Freeze in ice cream maker.

Notes: One of the simpler ice creams to make.

MAPLE WALNUT ICE CREAM

4 egg yolks

3 cups table cream

3/4 cup walnut pieces

1 cup amber maple syrup

Beat egg yolks.

Put table cream in a sauce pan and bring almost to a boil.

Beat heated cream into eggs.

Cool.

Mix in maple syrup just before freezing in ice cream machine.

When almost done, stir in walnut pieces.

Notes: This also makes a good Maple Ice Cream Recipe

If you can get Grade B maple syrup, use it instead and reduce it to half-a-cup (you

may need to experiment here; possibly 3/4 cup would be better). Note: I used to

recommend getting Grade C, but apparently the high-end of that has been renamed

Grade B, and the low end of that is illegal to sell in retail stores (at least in Vermont).

Be careful with the cream: If you decrease the milkfat content, then the ice cream will

be slushy and have a poor texture.

MARSHMALLOW VANILLA

10 large marshmallows

1 cup milk

1/4 cup sugar

1 cup whipping cream

1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix marshmallows, 1/2 cup of milk, and sugar in a pan.

Heat over low heat until marshmallows melt.

Add remaining ingredients and cool.

Make in ice cream maker.

Notes: A little sweet, a little icy, not very rich. Perhaps make with 2 eggs (technically not needed,

as marshmellows should have emulsifiers)

MILK CHOCOLATE SHERBET

Remember ordering a "400" at the soda fountain? Well now you can have it frozen. Icy, almost a

granita. You'll love it.

Melt 2 oz. Baker's chocolate, and add 1 cup whole milk, and 1 3/4cups sugar, 2 tbsp vanilla

extract, and 4 cups water. Mix thoroughly and freeze in the freezer section of your refrigerator in a

shallow rectangular cake pan, stirring every 20 minutes with a fork until frozen.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP

This one is delicious when frozen in a graham cracker crust pie shell. Garnish it with chocolate

rose petals you can make yourself.

Make a batch of the Old Time Vanilla recipe, but use 1/3 cup sugar instead of the brown sugar.

Add 1 1/2 tsp of mint extract and when the ice cream is almost frozen, add 1 cup semi-sweet mini

chocolate chips. This recipe is just the right amount to put into two 9" graham cracker crust pie

shells for a great ice cream pie. To really dress up your ice cream pie, take a few small leaves

from the rose bush out back, wash and dry them thoroughly. Take the remaining chocolate chips

and melt them in a double boiler. Use a butter knife to spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on

the back side of the leaves and place them in the freezer for about twenty minutes. Then add one

more coating of chocolate and replace the leaves in the freezer. After the leaves are frozen, peel

the leaves from the chocolate and garnish the pie. Between coatings, take a little melted

chocolate and spread it very thinly on a cool cookie sheet and place it in the refrigerator. When

you have finished the second coating of the leaves, take the cookie sheet from the refrigerator

and with a sharp metal spatula, scrape up the chocolate into curls. Along with the chocolate

leaves, these make a really nice garnish.

MOCHA MOUSSE

2 C heavy cream, whipped stiff

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 C chocolate syrup (like Hershey's Fudge sauce)

1 whole fresh egg

1 individual serving International Coffee instant powder

To the heavy cream whipped with the salt, add the slightly beaten whole fresh egg and beat until

well blended. Add, folding gently, but thoroughly, the chocolate and instant coffee. Freeze in ice

cream maker

Notes: ------ Add the salt after the cream has been whipped stiff.

This ice cream is VERRRRY smooth and delicious. It was originally a recipe for chocolate mousse

ice cream and called for a generous 3/4 C chocolate sauce, but I ran out and added the instant

coffee (mocha flavor) to intensify the flavor.

MOTHER LODE BUTTER BRICKLE

You'll feel like an old time prospector when you dig into this mountain of ice cream. Golden bits of

butter brickle will be your reward when you hit the mother lode.

This ice cream uses the Old Time Vanilla (see recipe) for a base mix. The butter brickle is

folded into the ice cream after it is frozen. The butter brickle is prepared as follows. Lightly grease

a large cookie sheet and then melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Then add 1/3 cup sugar

and 1 tablespoon water and bring to a boil. Continue heating with constant stirring until the

preparation reaches 300o. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Spread on the

cookie sheet and when cool break into small pieces. Fold this preparation into the ice cream when

frozen.

MUSCADINE GRAPE

OLD ENGLISH TOFFEE

First, we'll prepare the toffee crunch. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet, and melt 4 tbsp butter in

a sauce pan. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp water. Bring the mixture to a boil and

continue cooking while constantly stirring until the mix reaches 300 degrees. Remove from heat,

spread quickly on the cookie sheet as thinly as you can. When cool break up into very small

crunchies. Next, take 1 cup sugar and cook it in a sauce pan until it becomes a nice golden brown

color. Add 1 1/2 cups half & half and 1 pint whipping cream. The toffee will immediately become

rock hard. Keep cooking until the cream is nearly boiling and as you continue cooking the toffee

will dissolve. When the toffee is all dissolved, remove from heat and cool completely. Now, in a

large mixing bowl, lightly whisk two eggs*, then whisk in 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed

milk, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. When completely mixed, add 2 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp

salt, and the toffee/cream mix, (don't add the crunchies yet) and mix thoroughly. Age (chill in the

refrigerator) for four hours. After aging, fill the canister no more than 3/4 full and freeze according

to the ice cream freezer manufacturer's directions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add in

the crunchies.

*If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella from uncooked eggs, substitute an

equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

OLD FASHIONED VANILLA

1 large egg

1 c half and half

3/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

3 c heavy cream (note: sometimes I do this as 1 c half and half, 2 c cream)

Put the egg, 1 c half and half, sugar, and vanilla in a blender and blend on medium speed until the

mixture us smooth and sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the 3 c cream and continue blending until

mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to ice cream machine and freeze

according to manufacturer's directions. Makes slightly more than 1 qt.

Notes: ------ Hints on freezing with ice and salt: if the ice cream is not getting hard in 20-30

minutes, it's always been my experience that there is a problem with the ice-salt mixture, and

almost always it's that you are using too little salt. Start the canister chilling with the ice and salt

before you make the above mixture, to give it a good head start. Be sure to use LOTS of salt; the

salt is what lowers the temperature to make the ice cream mixture freeze. If the ice is melting and

the ice cream still isn't hard, add more ice and more salt. If you are making ice cream with alcohol

in it (the above serves as a great base for Kahlua Chip), I've found it useful to put the alcohol in

when the ice cream is almost done. The alcohol interferes with the freezing process, so adding it

later seems to help. Same with small solids like chocolate chips; putting them in late gets them

evenly distributed, rather than all at the bottom. --

OLD TIME VANILLA

In a large mixing bowl whisk two eggs*, add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk

together until thoroughly mixed. Then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and again mix

thoroughly. Don’t pack the brown sugar into the measuring cup, let it stay loose just as it comes

out of the box. Then add 1 pint of heavy whipping cream, 1 pint of half and half, 1/4 tsp salt and 2

1/2 tablespoons of real vanilla extract. For the very best results (who wants anything less?), let the

mix chill in the refrigerator for about four hours which allows the mix to "age" before freezing

according to the directions with your ice cream freezer.. *If you are concerned about the possibility

of Salmonella from uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

cherries. Prepare the mix as for Old Time Vanilla (see recipe), but omit the brown sugar and

add an additional1/2 cup sugar, and 10 oz canned crushed pineapple. (Do not use fresh

pineapple, which contains an acid which causes the cream to curdle. The canning process

neutralizes this acid. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add 6 oz chopped Maraschino

Cherries and just a little of the juice. Mmmmmm....

TROPICAL COCONUT

Put a spoonful in your mouth and close your eyes. Grass skirts, waves lapping on the shore,

ukelele music. It's not a dream.

Take 1 1/2 cups of half and half and add 3 cups of shredded coconut. In a saucepan bring this

mixture to a boil and then simmer for five minutes. Strain through a fine strainer and discard the

coconut, saving the cream. Then mix a 2 qt batch of the Old Time Vanilla mix, using this half and

half preparation for the half and half in the recipe. Then add 1/3 tsp coconut extract and freeze in

an ice cream freezer.

TROPICAL ORANGE

This would have been a musical piece if Gershwin had tasted this. It's a delicate orange in a rich

vanilla base served inside a frozen orange. Elegant...the only word for it.

Clean several large oranges and slice off the stem end of the orange, saving this slice. Clean out

the orange pulp and squeeze the pulp into juice saving 1/2 cup of strained juice. Place the shells

in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and freeze for four hours. Mix a two quart batch of

the Old Time Vanilla (see recipe) Ice Cream omitting the brown sugar. Before freezing the ice

cream, add the strained orange juice and add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Age the mix for four

hours and freeze in an ice cream freezer according the the manufacturer’s directions. When

frozen, fill the orange shells, replace the orange "lids" and replace in the freezer section of the

refrigerator for hardening.

ULTIMATE BUTTER PECAN

So buttery you'll moo. The favorite of many, it's rich and creamy.

Again, use the Old Time Vanilla (see recipe) for the base recipe, but use 3/4 cup of brown

sugar. Also, add 4 tablespoons of melted butter to the mix after adding the sweetened condensed

milk and brown sugar. Be very careful melting the butter so that it doesn’t separate or churning

might result. Now you must prepare the pecans. To do this, mix 1cup of chopped pecans with 2

tablespoons of melted butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. After the mix has aged (chilled in the

refrigerator for about four hours), stir thoroughly and freeze according to the manufacturer’s

directions. When the mix is frozen, stir in the prepared pecans.

VANILLA GINGER PECAN

This is a great flavorful ice cream that combines three characteristic flavors of Ginger, Candied

the ice cream is freezing, take one cup of chopped pecans, and add three tablespoons melted

butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar and mix completely.. When the ice cream is nearly frozen, stir in

the pecans.

In a large mixing bowl, lightly whisk one egg*, and then whisk in 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened

condensed milk. Add one 2 litre bottle of 7-up (which has been shaken to remove the "fizz"), 1/2

cup whipping cream, and 1 ½ tbsp vanilla extract. Freeze in your ice cream freezer. *If you are

1 1/4 c Milk

1 1/4 c Heavy cream

1 1/2 lg Vanilla beans

1/2 ts Vanilla extract

1 pn Salt

Cream the egg yolks and sugar together in a mixing bowl until thick and light. Combine the milk

and cream in a 2- quart microwave-safe casserole. Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise, and

scrape the seeds into the bowl. Add the beans, extract, and salt. Cook, uncovered, at full power

(650 to 700 watts) for 3 minutes. Remove the vanilla beans. With a mixer running on low speed,

slowly add the milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until smooth. Return the mixture to the

casserole. Whisking once a minute, cook until the custard is thick and coats the back of a spoon,

3 1/2 minutes. Do not overcook it. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate

it, loosely covered, until chilled, a minimum of 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to

manufacturer's directions. Makes 5 cups.

WAFFLE CONES

2 Large eggs

1/2 cup sugar

2/3 cup butter, melted then cooled

1 TBSP vanilla extract

3/4 cup flour

Makes about six large cones

Lightly beat the eggs then add in the remaining ingredients, adding the flour last. Before preheating

the pizelle, I lightly spray a vegetable oil based non-stick compound (PAM, e.g.) on the

cooking surfaces. Spoon about 2 tbsp batter onto pizelle and cook for about 45 seconds. The

temperature of the pizelle (waffle cone iron) varies a lot in various appliances, so the first batch

will be an experiment to determine the cooking time. The edges should be golden brown and

cooked completely, not too brown on the edges, but not mushy in the middle. Form around a

mandrel (I use an old wooden cone with a handle. They should become crispy and hold their

shape as they cool. I set mine in an old fashioned cone holder from an old soda shop, but they

could be set inside small juice glasses to cool.

WHAT A PEAR! ICE CREAM

Start with the recipe for Old Time Vanilla (see recipe), but omit the brown sugar. And instead

of adding the Half and Half to the mix, put it into a blender with a chopped very ripe pear. Blend on

high speed for two minutes, then add this to the ice cream mix. Freeze in an ice cream freezer

according to the manufacturer's directions.
