The Best Ice Cream Maker Cookbook Ever

Summary: re: eggless ice creams
Review: B Trott, the person complaining above about the eggless ice cream, has no idea what s/he is talking about. Ice creams made without eggs are very common and are known as "Philadelphia style" or "American style" ice creams. Ones with eggs are called "custard style" or "French style." You do not need a thickener; the freezing process thickens the cream. I made this recipe with no problem. B Trott may have failed to chill the canister sufficiently or churn for long enough. You also need to let homemade ice cream ripen in the freezer after churning to give it additional firmness.

Review: This is approximately the twelfth ice cream book in my collection, so I'm only buying books that add information I don't already have. This one's a winner! In addition to a good selection of recipes for all sorts of normal and exotic flavors, this book includes: (1) recipes for toppings and swirls (fudge, caramel, fruit, etc.); (2) recipes with especially intense flavors (a quart or so of ice cream including a whole cup of peanut butter, for example); and (3) several approaches to the same flavor, so you could make vanilla frozen yogurt, vanilla ice milk, or several styles of vanilla ice cream (and then adapt those styles to other flavors).

Review: This is the worst book of ice cream maker recipes I have come across. it Includes recipes that are not complete such as the "Enlightened Vanilla Ice Cream" recipe that calls for only cream, sugar and vanilla extract. I believe they left out a major ingriedient....maybe some egg whites or yolks to give it thickness. I tried this recipe and ended up with 100% liquid. What a waste of time!
