    Oreo McFlurries represent my ice-cream intake and that is only once a week as they get boring. Not too many thrilling brands over here. Maybe I am just not that into it which is why I don't know.

    As interesting as that honey stuff sounds above, isn't that frozen milk-cheese? I would like to try it, but I wouldn't really call that ice-cream. Frozen banana too. Awesome I am sure, but not ice-cream.

    I usually keep gelato in the freezer-less calories but I went to Culvers and got 4 quarts while I was there: Brownie Thunder, Bonfire S'mores, Mint Brownie, Red Raspberry

    I have 5 different types of ice cream in the freezer:

    Cadbury Top Deck
    Espresso Tiramisu
    Snickers Ice Cream Bars
    Crunchie Ice Cream Bars
    Homemade banana maple cashew

    It's always ice cream week at my place. 70 odd lbs down so far :)

    A frozen banana doesn't have an additional dairy ingredients added to it, nor is there a churning process.... So, I'm not quite sure you'd label it as ice cream. Can you freee an apple and call it ice cream?

    "Good base-recipes will allow you to go a long way. Here, you will find four different ones (and one for sorbets) to begin with. Try them, compare them, and add flavouring and mix-ins as you like.

    Better understanding of the various ingredients in ice cream will open the door for further exciting experiments, for example playing around with different types of sugars and honey, or replacing milk and cream by soft cheese, or testing the effects of different stabilisers, or trying exotic or unusual mix-ins and flavours … making your own ice cream opens whole wide fields for experimentation!"

    Poor foreigners are deprived of Talenti. Don't worry, I had half a pint of Double Dark Chocolate yesterday to make up for her :)

    I like you. One of my favorite flavors....yum.

    I keep little mini-ice creams in freezer and at 220 or so calories, I can plan it into my day's calories. I love ice cream. Though i have to admit that Honey Ricotta looks amazing!

    I ran out of the usual, so I was inspired by this thread to try gelato for the first time last night. Yum! Maybe I will try talenti next time. Finally, a fitness challenge I think I may be able to complete.
