My favorite recent flavor was strawberries soaked in balsamic and honey then macerated and strained to get all the seeds out. I used basil sugar instead of regular sugar (just put a crap load of basil from my garden in a blender with sugar and let it sit for a few hours). I also cut up about 3-4 strawberries into little pieces and put them in while it was churning. It was magic.

Yes. Don't even bother with anyone else's recipes.

[walterismydog]

Basically my advice is find a really good base recipe and then go nuts trying various flavors.

I've recently made (in addition to that strawberry ridiculousness above):

Mint (same idea as the basil sugar) with crushed Andes mints and almond slivers.

Pineapple (crushed) with shredded coconut and pecans.

Vanilla bean.

Blood orange and Meyer lemon sorbet.

Grapefruit sorbet.

Lavender and Meyer lemon sorbet.

[dropitlikeitshott]

1 bottle orange
1 large can crushed pineapple
2 cans sweetened condensed milk

My grandma used to make this. It's my favorite.

Also, DH makes this one at the fire station all the time. They love it.

Buy this:

smile.amazon.com/Jerrys-Homemade-Cream-Dessert-Book/dp/0894803123/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499992274&sr=8-1&keywords=ben+and+jerrys+ice+cream+recipe+book

Then make all of it. It freezes like real ice cream, and is perfect in every way.

The strawberry is amazing. We added brownies to it, and it was divine.

I should have bought the house next to you so I could stand there awkwardly with an empty bowl and a spoon.  

I didn't want an ice cream maker until this post.

I like peppermint.  

I'm starving and this was the wrong thread to open.

I really love the cuisinart recipe for vanilla ice cream. It's not fancy or elaborate, it's easy to make, and it's really really good vanilla ice cream.

I assume this is the one in the book that comes with the machine? I bought a cuisenart.

Same in this house.

DH likes mint. Give him something savory with mint and he's good to go. Mint in dessert options are gross for some reason.

This is my favorite recipe (we've made it with and without the meyer lemon). I have an egg allergy, so a lot of the usual recipes that require cooking are a no-go for me.

My mom found some creme brûlée syrup topping and made it into an ice cream base and holy shit that was good.

Yes, I think so. I have the cuisinart one too. You can also download it as a PDF to your phone lol. It's seriously so easy but you can't skimp on the ingredients. Like if it says whole milk, use it. Or heavy cream etc. don't be like "I'll just do all whole milk!" Or whatever.

But I think you are better at following a recipe than I am lol.

I recommend the Jeni's book. The cherry lambic sorbet is incredible!

This thread is amazing. Thanks everyone!

There's a new ice cream book out, called "Hi My Name is Ice Cream". It gets deep into the science of it but I've made a few of the recipes with my home machine and they are great.

I nerd out to the science in this book.

However, question, what stabilizer do you use? I haven't had any luck with Avocream stabilizer and have had to play around and adjust a lot.

My favorite go to book is Bi Rite creamery, but their percentages are off the charts for butterfat, though they seem to use markedly less sugar than most other brands. I make 1-3 flavors of ice cream a week and tend to give a lot away as I figure out my own base.

I'm working on a fig bourbon with candied ginger right now and need to make another batch of peanut butter with fudge ripple.

One of my favorite chocolate recipes. It tastes good either with natural cocoa powder (milk chocolate flavor) or Dutch process (more dark chocolate flavor).
