I have a new ice cream maker (thanks, mom?) and these guys make it seem do-able.

I read this a long time ago, back when I lived with Kevin & Pam, so this was my first ice cream cookbook experience. I learned that drinking coffee in summer and eating ice cream in winter are both appropriate and can even help regulate your body's temperature, or something like that.

The famous Cherry Garcia ice cream I made for bookclub that time was from a recipe on the internet though.

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I made the homemade chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches so far, and I just can't wait to try more, but I have to put in some serious workout time first.

I've been using Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Book for over 20 years. The recipes are very simple, not nearly as sophisticated in flavor or as complex in technique as the ice creams you will turn out with David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop, but still pretty good. The Oreo Mint Ice Cream and Butter Pecan Ice Cream are two standbys we make over and over every summer. If you want to throw together a good ice cream in no time flat, this is the book for you.

oh my goodness--hello homemade ice cream:-) the sweet cream base is my best friend. my sister-in-law got me this book for christmas after my parents gave me the kitchen aid mixer with the ice cream maker attachment. i've been an ice cream extrordinaire ever since. you'll never need to go out again after you've made these recipes at home.

The absolute best ice cream book I've read. And I've read a lot of them. The recipes are mostly simple with a lot of variations on inclusions. Jerry's chocolate ice cream is the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted.

If you make ice cream this book is great. I've tried lots of recipes from it. I've also learned a lot about the "theory" of ice cream making so I have been able to make up lots of my own creations. Yummy!

This is a great little book about the beginnings of Ben and Jerrys, but most importantly it has recipes for lots of good ice cream. Give 'em a shot and invite me over to try them out.

In addition to providing some classic B&J's recipes, this book gives background on how B&J got their business off the ground with their trademark humor throughout.

This book has the best recipe for Chocolate Chip cookies!
Once I tried them, I've never made another recipe!

Worth the price of the cookbook alone!

Even if you never make any ice cream and just read this book, it's still worth five stars for the creamy goodness factor.

Poor approach to cream base. Fun, but not a book I ever use.
