Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  I’m going to start with the ultimate ice cream cookbook to start.  I have the ultimate frozen dessert book and I love it.  Semifreddo is worth the effort if you’ve never made it.

PS.  I made ginger ice cream the other day by adding 2 T fresh ginger to the triple vanilla recipe in the P+PB

I love semifreddo!

Hey everyone.  I’m enjoying the recipes in Bruce Weinstein’s Ultimate Ice Cream Book.  However, I’ve noticed that many of the recipes have corn starch in them.  Corn starch is typicaly used as a thickener.  In ice cream, the lecythin in the egg yolks thicken the custard. 

Has anyone made ice cream with corn starch?  Is the mouth feel different than one without corn starch?

Thanks,
Megan

yes, Italian gelato is non comparable! but I have just ordered one of the ice cream makers, my cousin is using one, her kids love ice cream… I am really curious if it will work. I am afraid it will be too good!
