I would snag this most excellent book of ice cream recipes.

http://www.amazon.com/Jerrys-Homemade-Cream-Dessert-Book/dp/0894803123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347902019&sr=8-1&keywords=ben+and+jerry%27s+ice+cream+recipe+book

You'll probably after the third or fourth batch find yourself inventing flavors but the intro to the book covers some pretty good basic recipes for sherbet, and the different types of bases for normal ice cream. One of the random things I learned from this book was that just about any fruit will taste more like its self if covered in lemon juice and sugar for a few hours.

You can also pick up an ice cream machine for pretty cheap from Amazon. I would recommend getting the stand mixer attachment if you have a stand mixer, if not keep in mind that any of the salt free ones, including actually the stand mixer attachment require that the bowl be frozen for 12 hours before use. Practically this limits the machine to one batch of ice cream a day.

I got my gf the same ice cream maker last xmas, and we use it all the time. i think we had one batch that was too hard, and its because i didnt follow the recipe, and therefore made it in a way that it set too hard.

first, 15 minutes isnt long enough, we usually let our ice cream go for about 25 minutes. we do not prechill our mix, but we also dont heat it, except for the one time we made chocolate. so maybe the difference is the prechilling, but even when we did that, we went for 25 minutes.

second, add a little liquor, OR vanilla extract if you have the pure shit made with liquor. my gf makes her own by soaking a bunch of vanilla beans in vodka, we always add that. it not only gives a little flavor to make it taste a little more rich, but it helps keep the ice cream from solidifying as much in the freezer.

third, that sounds like A LOT of eggs. we usually use two or three, that could be part of the difference maker here.

fourth, get the ben and jerry's recipe book from amazon. its the shit, it has all kinds of great recipes. and in a lot of cases it has the reasoning behind making certain things a certain way.

hopefully that helps some. we have been making consistently good ice cream in ours, and it always sets just right. if you have any more questions, just ask.

Not a sub, but I got the Ben & Jerry's book https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0894803123/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_lq4bAbVAQ9NHW

This is very close to the Ben chocolate recipe from the Ben & Jerry's ice cream recipe book. You can find it here.

my girlfriend and i make a lot of ice cream and one of our favorite books is your ice cream book (found here: http://www.amazon.com/Jerrys-Homemade-Cream-Dessert-Book/dp/0894803123)


my question:

if you could add 5 recipes to that book, which would they be?

and if possible, can i get said recipes?

Two books have vastly expanded my knowledge, understanding, and creativity in my approach to homemade ice cream making. I absolutely swear by Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book and Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book. I see a lot of chatter about Jeni's of Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream ice cream recipes for mouth feel, but her approach uses corn syrup and corn starch. That's the kind of ingredient I am trying to avoid by making my own ice creams, so I can't attest to her recipes.

Ben & Jerry have three cream base recipes. Humprhy Slocombe should really be owned by anyone who makes ice cream. It's kind of like a Joy of Cooking, but for ice cream. and it is a fun read. Whenever I try out a new flavor, I start with these two books and go from there.

Get yourself an ice cream maker and then make Kahlua Coffee ice cream in 2 hours with this uber simple recipe. Get tipsy and eat ice cream!

I absolutely love my ice cream maker. I got it for $40 at Costco and use it a few times a week. I particularly like making fruit sorbets...I get a different fresh variety at the farmers market every weekend, and I experiment with adding fresh herbs...my sage peach sorbet was to die for!

Bonus: This Ben and Jerrys ice cream cookbook is excellent!

For $50 you can get one of these and make it way easier on yourself. I have one and it works great. I also recommend the Ben and Jerry's recipe book. Best blueberry ice cream I've ever had.

This is the recipe book my dad and I have been using. Since I've been home for the summer from college, my dad and I have been eating a lot of this ice cream
