Gonna be eating the strawberry Haagen dazs for a few weeks before i switch it out again.

@catharsis Earl Grey is a delicious flavor

[LinDaiyu]

@donovan How much do you buy at a time that it lasts for weeks? I'm feeling uncomfortable by your post.

[donovan]

@LinDaiyu i go to the shop every day lol. I enjoy walking around at night when no one is there, gets me more steps in as well.

[LinDaiyu]

@donovan Okay that is based. I used to be a strawberry main but I got a weird huge strawberry in there once with a strange texture that ruined it forever for me

[donovan]

@LinDaiyu that’s pretty funny. I was chocolate peanut butter from a local brand for a while before they changed recipes, then switched to Van Leeuwen honeycomb, now various haagen dazs flavors. Which ones you like?

[LinDaiyu]

@donovan I stick to the classics vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and of course coffee. I'm not very adventurous with ice cream flavors, but i do like to make a coke float now and again. Is the Van Leeuwen honeycomb as good as it looks?

[donovan]

@LinDaiyu it is very very good. One of the best I’ve had. Although my friend tried it and he hated it, so i suppose it’s a love it or hate it type

@aanon Costco has heavy whipping cream (Horizon Organic) for about $6 with no excipients. You can pour all of the 64fl oz into a blender with a cup of sugar and handfuls of berries if you want flavor. I've never tried it with adding egg yolks but the above process renders a slightly icy but tasty ice cream. It's not as thick as Haagen Dazs unfortunately but it should be cheaper.

@LinDaiyu I have a gallon of vanilla Haagen Dasz in my freezer that I rely on for a lot of my food intake. It goes super good with baked goods though so I'm not complaining.

[LinDaiyu]

@sztrapacska This is one of the greatest posts made on this forum. I know you will be a holy warrior in the war to come.

@raypneat I have, @Pillman /peatpill has an updated version of this recipe as well. It's delicious, but the coconut oil flavor may be overpowering so you can lower that, add sugar, and it comes out just as creamy as the original. Also don't forget milk powder, it helps a lot with the texture.

Friday night binging with a quart of coffee ice cream. I can only think of one or two better ways of spending an evening.

made some vanilla with candied ginger bits last night but I only had half and half and 2% milk so its a little icy
tastes great though

[ah]

@aanon I think you could use organic valley half and half, its just milk and cream
I checked to see if their heavy cream has gums (it does) and every review on their website is 1 star complaining about the gums
people are starting to wake up lol: https://www.organicvalley.coop/products/cream/heavy-whipping-cream-ultra-pasteurized-pint/
