Ice Cream Flavors

[tiger_spot]

Recently, brooksmoses saw an ice cream maker somewhere-or-other and decided it needed to come live with us. So we've made a batch or two of ice cream -- the Mexican chocolate from the included recipe booklet, with chocolate, cinnamon, and cayenne, is quite tasty -- and determined that the custard base is an excellent base but ice cream flavors we can buy at the store are boring.

Help us think of new ones.

So far, the best idea is andres_s_p_b's suggestion of Victorian Sexuality: it looks like vanilla, but isn't. We're thinking white chocolate with either just a hint of peppermint extract or a rather larger quantity of almond extract; macadamia nuts might be a nice touch. I would also like to do a chai flavor.

What's good in ice cream that Ben & Jerry's doesn't already do?

You're right, I think it was a sorbet - but OMG it was wonderfu. And not something I would have thought of.

(There are times when a 'food' icon made of broccoli is suboptimal.)

I've had vanilla ice-cream with fresh cucumber slices on it and that was yummy, so I definitely think it would work as an ice-cream.
