Read MoreThis recipe is really interesting. I'm a huge fan of weird ice cream flavors. Give me lavender ice cream or even Jeni's "Green" any day over chocolate. That said, this is a crazy ice cream flavor. It's not immediately delicious. True to its name, it is bitter. But, just at first. The bitterness of the orange rind is quickly followed by sweetness and creaminess. It's... interesting. And, worth making and definitely worth pairing with a rich chocolate cake...

Weeeelllll.... not quite. Yes, recipe no. 4 in Johnny Iuzzini's "Sugar Rush" does call for gluten, specifically barley malt syrup. And, yes, the recipe did allow me to flex my gluten-free baking muscles. Buuut, I didn't totally succeed in recreating Iuzzini's recipe. I still made something delicious, but it was most definitely not malted milk chocolate ice cream.
Read MoreI have to admit that I'm getting ready to move beyond this section of the Cookbook Challenge. Don't get me wrong, I love ice cream. But, making it with eggs? Not so much... You'll note that there's a crazy amount of spices in this recipe. I had to search out star anise and couldn't find it ground, so had to whip out our spice grinder. I also had to buy some whole nutmeg. The result of this spice-rack of flavors is a warm, gingerbread, very Fall-holiday appropriate delicious ice cream. Make this for Thanksgiving and you will win Thanksgiving dinner.
Read MoreAlright so I "mastered" the creme anglaise sauce last week. This week all I had to do to move forward in my Cookbook Challenge was mix up another batch of Creme Anglaise with a little extra sugar and then spin it around in my ice cream maker. Easy peasy, right? Right????
