Dark Chocolate (Philly style)

TO DIE FOR.  Incredible.  And we didn't even follow the recipe completely.  Used Hershey bars instead of unsweetened chocolate and special dark cocoa powder.  Called my friend Karen over at 9:30pm cuz I knew she had to have some.  Like liquid chocolate.  We all loved it (Josie included!  She kept begging for more).

Roasted Banana

My first try at making the ice cream base.  Roasted the bananas in the oven.  This was an eggless, creamless recipe and I Abby and I loved it!  It had just enough salt to make it slightly salty-yum.  Kyle was not a big fan of this ice cream, but I thought it tasted like salty banana caramel. 

Salted Caramel

DELISH!  We added extra salt (double?) because we like it salty.  It was very smooth, caramely and salty.  It was pretty labor intensive because you make a caramel and a custard.  But oh so worth it. 

Intro

Because Kyle taught his Italian gelato class this summer, we are the proud new owners of a self-refrigerating ice cream machine, loads of information and some great new recipes.  We are determined to put the cookbook to use and eat our way to the perfect scoop.
