Reddit reviews Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream Book

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.

I can post the recipe later if you want, but it's from here. Basically peanut butter + fluff + sugar + milk + cream + eggs. Making my own ice cream has been eye-opening as to why it is so delicious and so bad for my health :)
