Reviews
“This is really good!I have to admit I was a little hesitant when I saw the ingredients, but the flavor is great, and my family loved itA great healthy alternative to ice cream!”
“I am very impressed with this ice cream!I love how the egg is cooked, as I won’t eat raw egg.I also loved how light is is…I didn’t have to change a thing.Once recipe would be perfect for a 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker as it was slightly too much for my 1 quart.I used mint extract instead of creme de menthe, and used about 1 tsp of it instead of a few drops.The ice cream itself was nice and creamy and stayed somewhat soft in the freezer, although after a week it became a little more icy.A very good ice cream I will definitely be making again!!Thanks!”
