Since our recent visit to Paris, I’ve wanted to make my own ice cream. At my now-favorite restaurant-of-all-time, I was served a rich vanilla bean ice cream with a vanilla bean creme anglaise on a chocolate dessert that I was inspired to try at home. Thanks to a birthday gift from my lovely wife, I’m now capable of this achievement. After some prelimnary testing [seen in picture], I’m ready to tackle the posh version I had in Paris.
The chocolate ice cream in the picture has chunks of crispy crunch – my favorite chocolate bar. To soon be attempted: peach, pear, raspberry, chocolate mint.
