I just got it for Christmas/Birthday from my uncle/aunt...yes, I got it 4 months late!

My first attempt turned out awesome using a basic recipe.

1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream
vanilla to taste

Whisk the whole milk with sugar till disolved or roughly 2mins. Stir in cream and vanilla. I added to this 2 shots esspreso and 2 shots of bailey's then let the machine do it's thing. I decided to stick with flavors I was comfortable with for my first attempt. I'm thinking of branching out a little during the summer with my new toy like maybe doing an Apple Martini sorbet or a Ginger and Lemon ice cream. Does anyone know of a good book or website that does some unusal flavors for ice creams? Or should I just stick with playing around with different flavors?

I saved that link about a year ago, but haven't really gotten back to it. I usually stick to a custard based vanilla. The custard based recipes always have eggs or yolks. The confusing part to me was the "coat the spoon" business. I was going for a heavy winter coat, but I think they really mean a light spring jacket. Now I cook with a spoon in one hand, a thermometer in the other and pull it off the heat at 165F.

If you make that Olive Oil ice cream, be sure to let us know how it turned out.

I dare you to try this one! It's the recipe I concocted for the Hagen-Dasz "Dream Ice Cream" flavor contest on Food TV. I didn't win, but I did make it and it was good- I thought.

Coconut Mango Curry Ice Cream- a Mezzaluna original recipe

1.5 cups milk (fat content of your choice)
1 cup light coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder (I used Penzey's)
Dash of salt
2 eggs
1 cup mango cut in small dice
3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut

Toast the curry powder briefly in a hot skillet. Cool and combine with the milk, coconut milk, coconut, sugar and salt in a 3 quart saucepan.

Beat eggs and stir into the pan. Simmer until thick. Strain into a bowl.

Pour the mixture into ice cream maker (I use a Donvier hand-crank maker). When the mixture is done churning, stir in the mango pieces. Cover tightly and freeze until firm. Allow to cure in the freezer for a day or more before serving.
