Yep you guessed it, we're talking about ice cream. Superman has Kryptonite, the Wicked Witch of the West has water, and I have my ice cream. I've been wanting to get an ice cream maker for quite some time now and the Cuisinart and DeLonghi were the two I was trying to decide between. Both of them had about a 4 star review and I figured I'd wait until I found something better and save myself about $300 in the process. Over the weekend I was at William Sonoma and found the Cuisinart on clearance for $160. They said they aren't going to carry that line anymore but wasn't sure what it was going to be replaced with. I figured for almost 50% off it was time to make my move.
I'm not sure how many have ice cream makers or have made ice cream before but I wanted to start a conversation on it. You know what they say about cooking, the fewer the ingredients the better you have to be. What ingredients do you like to use? Do you have any favorite recipes? In Jacob's flourless cake he used guittard chocolate instead of regular chocolate because of it's quality. Have you tried using a sweetener instead of sugar because of the quality or how it interacts with other ingredients? Let's dish about the perfect scoop.
