For me ice cream is one of the ultimate treats in the summertime. OK yes I like it year round but in the summer it’s even better. For years I wanted an ice cream machine and never bought one or got one under the Christmas tree (trust me I put it on my “Santa List” a couple of years in a row). But last summer everything changed: I got one, for free! A perfectly good used one cluttering a friend’s pantry.

Ever since then I have been making my own ice cream. I generally like unconventional foods and flavors, and the same goes for ice cream. I am NOT a vanilla gal! This year has been an exploration of sometimes explosive, sometimes subtle uncommon ice cream flavors.
