Sorry for no metric units :( . I only use metric for weighing things, but I don't weigh stuff for ice cream.

Protip: I never bother with all that milk + cream nonsense. I just use half & half for all the dairy. It's fine.

David Lebovitz's book is pretty great. His beer chocolate ice cream is the bomb and makes me look good at parties. I make it with Guinness Extra Stout and Lindt milk chocolate, which has barley malt in it. (You could also just add some malt and use any old milk chocolate, I guess.)

Max Falkowitz posted a bunch of ice cream recipes when he was at Serious Eats, and I've found his recipes to be reliably delicious. His peanut butter honey recipe and his sesame orange recipe are both pretty great. I've been meaning to try his white chocolate ginger shortbread recipe, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Here are two recipes I make a lot. The salted caramel is based on the one in Molly Moon's book, and the bourbon is based on a Humphry Slocombe flavor. (C=cup, T=tablespoon, t=teaspoon)

Salted caramel ice cream (Serve with crumbled Oreos on top!)

  • 1/8t lemon juice

  • 1.5C sugar

  • 1T butter

  • 3C H&H

  • .85T kosher salt

  1. Add lemon juice and sugar to saucepan. (Use a large enough saucepan that the sugar is in a thin layer; otherwise caramelizing is a pain.) Caramelize sugar until dark brown.
  2. Add butter and stir.
  3. Add H&H in small portions, stir in, keep going until gone.
  4. Add salt.
  5. Churn

    Bourbon ice cream

  • 3C H&H

  • 5 egg yolks

  • 1t salt

  • 1C sugar

  • 1t vanilla

  • .25C bourbon

  1. Add the egg yolks, 1.5C dairy, sugar, and salt to a saucepan. Cook the custard until it hits 170 Celsius.
  2. Strain the custard into a bowl to remove solid egg.
  3. Add the rest of the dairy to cool off the custard.
  4. Stir in the vanilla and bourbon.
  5. Churn.
