My chocolate malt base is ready to put in the ice cream maker later today. Wish me luck.
Good luck can't wait to see pics of this success!
I have coconut ice cream churning now. Getting ready to start my smores ice cream, trying to decide if I want to go with a vanilla bean base and mix in everything or a chocolate base. Such difficult decisions for a Sunday morning.0 -

Decided to go with a Toasted marshmallow base ice cream, preliminary taste test are it's heading in the right direction. Now deciding on the chocolate I want for the swirl.

Seriously I need to no get an ice cream maker. I can't take this jealousy.Decided to go with a Toasted marshmallow base ice cream, preliminary taste test are it's heading in the right direction. Now deciding on the chocolate I want for the swirl.

I'm disappointed you haven't bought one yet! Go to target already.0 -
Ok you guys, I am going to the grocery store today and I have Talenti on my list because so many people seem to love it. I am 99% sure the store I go to has it (it is a smaller store with specialty brands) so I am hoping I can get it and that it lives up to all the hype. Wish me luck!0

I haven't had the butter pecan yet, but I second the caramel.0 -

Definitely get the Southern Butter Pecan!
The Mediterranean Mint is delicious & also Sea Salt Caramel.0 -

sorry for the double-dip. The last one is Cio Bello, which I've heard good things about. True? I think the salted caramel sandwich would be better than the key lime, but photo doesn't show it.0

At the local Sprouts store here in SoCal. I knew I'd eat the whole thing of whatever I bought. I need to burn more so I can eat more. How do you guys keep from eating a whole pint?!!
Maybe I could take my serving and give the rest to my neighbor...

Here's a few pics from yesterday's ice cream making.
Toasted coconut - I split this one in half, the one in the picture I mixed in more toasted coconut that one is for my husband, I prefer just the taste of the coconut and not the slivers it ruins the texture for me. But the flavor of this was perfect. Hubby gave me the ultimate compliment on it, said it was better than Talenti caribbean coconut.
Now for the ice cream inspired by Ambers love of Smores & Rach's suggestion of making toasted marshmallow ice cream. Decided on the toasted marshmallow base, made a basic chocolate sauce that I mixed in with crumbled graham cracker and threw in some chunks of toasted marshmallows at the end. Only had a little of this last night it was still more a soft serve consistency but the flavor YUM!!
I'll write up both recipes today or tomorrow0 -

The only Ciao Bella I've had was the chocolate hazelnut gelato sandwich and I wasn't a fan. But I've heard good things about the gelato itself in pint form.0 -

I never really know how to answer this-- I prelog all my food. Hitting fat and protein goals are important. Then I try to get in at least a couple of servings of veggies, preferably more. Then I weigh out my one serving of ice cream/gelato and enjoy it.
If I want more I go for a walk.
But really, it's just that my fitness and aesthetics goals mean more to me than having another serving.0 -

JW, that looks amazing as always.
Let me ask you ice cream makers a question. Since you make it yourself, do you even bother to try and figure out calories and macros or do you just accept it for what it is and just eat it. I would assume it would be almost impossible to get it right. I would think, make it, weigh out a serving (100g or so) and leave at least 300 calories to cover it.
Well, I just started but I weighed my whole batch and made it 10 servings. It only ended up being 68 grams per serving for 254 calories, so I don't know yet if that's going to seem tiny.0 -

When I'm making one that I have made before it's much easier, I weigh the batch divide it into serving sizes and call it a day.
Now yesterday's with both being new creations, base was different, ingredients and flavor I was going by taste alone, I was not precise at all. So I inflated all the ingredients by a bit to try and account for it. There's times when I log the recipe I add an extra cup of cream and figure that will cover any errors I made and usually if it makes 10 servings I log the recipe for 9. It's not perfect but has kept me pretty honest.0 -
Has anyone tried Ben and Jerry's chocolate/hazelnut core? I forgot the exact name of it.0

Hazed & Confused. Not bad, but not my favorite of the core flavors. Peanut Butter Fudge is the best of those IMO.
BTW, sorry for not posting yet!0 -

I keep hearing so many great things about Target's ice creams. I meant to go the this past weekend but didn't have time.I found randomly at Target a very unexpectedly delicious ice cream:
At 150 cals a serving, how could I say no?
I have got to try this.0 -
So, I picked this up because everyone was raving about it, but I'm really just not that much of a fan. There's a TON of glaze, but it's just sugar and doesn't have a ton of flavor. The doughnut pieces are interesting because they freeze up harder than everything else. I guess if I'm going to eat that much solid sugar, I'd prefer it in caramel form... :laugh:
Damn amateur.Seriously bro, how many times am I going to tell you to stop using a potato for a camera.
not my pic...

I have a feeling it wouldn't be my cup of tea either-- I'm just not a huge coffee person and I like my donuts crunchy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside, so it didn't seem like it'd be a good fit.0 -

Oh my gosh! That looks amazing!!! Because of our discussion, I had to try Menchie's toasty marshmallow frozen yogurt over the weekend. It was free, how could I pass it up?! And it was really good, too. I think it's a new chain.0
