"Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn't illegal." ~Voltaire
Ever since I got my ice cream maker as a gift from my sweet friends M&M, I am starting to think that ice cream should be illegal. That’s because it is too addictive. If you don’t believe me, then drive by Bi-Rite Creamery at any time to witness the long line of people eagerly waiting for a scoop. Rain, wind and not even the crazy Mission commotions can stop people from getting their ice cream sugar fix at Bi-Rite.
I realized one day that if I had my own ice cream maker, then I could make my own unique flavors just like Bi-Rite does. The cherry on top of this homemade ice cream would be that I could avoid the long ice cream line. This is before I had even looked at an ice cream recipe.
Once I made my first unique ice cream, I realized there was more to this than just throwing some flavors in an ice cream maker. For example, the Persian Tea Ice Cream that I made a couple of weeks ago was definitely the most tasty ice cream I have had. However, it took me over two hours to make it. During the long process, I thought to myself that it might be easier to convince Bi-Rite Creamer owners that there was a market for Persian Tea Ice cream and have them make it so I could just wait in line for an hour whenever I wanted it. This weekend I made David Lebovitz’s Chocolate Ice Cream with brown sugar instead of agave-sweetener and I was very impressed by the taste. I decided that the long process is worth the sweet reward.
