 ben and jerry ice cream recipes May 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
It has good recipes but I was concerned that they did not address whether the raw eggs should be slightly cooked before using. The internet sites said it should be combined with the heated cream, otherwise look for pastureized eggs in the supermarket (which I could never find)
 Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book May 12, 2008
Great little book. It was fun reading about the history of Ben and Jerry's. The writing style was easy and homey. We have made several batches of ice cream from the book and they were great. The recepies were easy and the explanations were great. We found we could save money by making our own ice cream and what we made was better than anything we would buy. Again, great little book.
 A Smooth & Creamy Read April 24, 2008
I've recently started making homemade ice cream, and trust me, using this book your culinary experiments will turn out way better tasting (and possibly better for you) than the commercial kind you can get down the street.
When you buy ice cream from the supermarket, a lot of the time you're buying plenty of air that whips into the final batch and bolsters the volume of that pint that looks yummy from the picture on the carton but ends up tasting like cold lint from your dryer vent. When you make it yourself you control the ingredients down to your favorite chocolate or the freshest peaches. And who better to take recipe advise from than the kings of ice cream making?
Most of Ben & Jerry's most famous flavors have their secrets deliciously divulged in this book along with anecdotes from the duo and explanations as to why you shouldn't skip ingredients. The newer flavors, like my favorites Phish Food and Americone Dreams, are sadly missing since they've only been created since this was published. But there are still loads of recipes and plenty of variations.
This book had everything from how to make your own hot fudge sauce, to the possibilities of beer sorbet, to the intricacies of blending your own New York Super Fudge Chunk. However, if you want that mint chocolate chip to LOOK like theirs...don't forget to add a few drops of food coloring. That little detail is overlooked in all the recipes and lets face it, if we're going to the effort of churning our own ice cream we want it to not only taste like the pints we idolize we want it to look authentic as well.
Great book! April 23, 2008
All the recipes that we have tried have been great. Our favorites so far have been the mint oreo ice cream, and the strawberry ice cream.
fun, great recipes for everyone April 20, 2008
anyone who loves ice cream will love this cookbook. easy and complex recipes that are suited for everyone plus helpful tips and ideas.
