The Ice Cream Book

A new classic, The Ice Cream Book shows readers how to use simple ice creams, sorbets, and granitas as a blank canvas for swirls, and mix-ins to create custom flavors—from the founder of the wildly popular Caffe Panna, the cult ice cream spot.

The Ice Cream Book shows you how to use ice cream and sorbet as a blank canvas for flavor and texture. Swirls, crunches, and mix-ins are the focus here so that you can customize every batch for an explosion of flavor in every spoonful.

There are three parts to this book. Part 1 shows you how to create delicious, creamy ice creams, sorbets, and granitas, that scoop like a dream. You can use any kind of ice cream maker. Part 2 leads you through adding swirls made from jam, caramel, and syrups, as well as chunks and crunches: brownies, cookies, brittles, for example. In Part 3, you can take it over the top with affogatos, sundaes, and even ice cream cakes.
