Ever Since the Invention of the Hand-Crank Freezer in 1843, ice cream makers have been increasingly refined, and today there is a wide range available -- from the non-motorized hand-cranks to expensive Italian machines that don't require ice. The Best Ice Cream Maker Cookbook Ever offers recipes for using all the fabulous ice cream makers on the market. Popular food writer and recipe developer Peggy Fallon helps readers choose the best machine for their needs and shows how to use it. She presents a stunning range of frozen treats for every taste and fancy -- from basic flavors to delightfully innovative creations. Also included are enticing swirls and stir-ins (Almond Fudge, Blueberries and Cream); lighter ice creams with plenty of taste; fabulous sorbets such as Bitter Chocolate, Mango, and Margarita; and classic Italian granitas and ices. With a special chapter on sauces and toppings, as well as recipes for ice cream cakes, pies, and parfaits, this is the book all ice cream lovers will want to have on their cookbook shelf.
