Book Reviews of Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book
Book Review: One of the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several books for making ice cream and I think the recipes in this one are the best. I wish they would write a new book as Ben & Jerry have come up with a lot of new flavors since 1987 that aren't in the book. I wouldn't normally make or buy coconut ice cream, but my daughter asked for it and it was delicious! I added almonds that I toasted myself (saute on a stove in a little butter with salt-drain on a paper towel) and it was even better! You don't need a bigger than a quart ice cream maker--just save the leftover "batter" in the refrigerator and make another batch later. The recipes do make much more than the book states.Book Review: Great ice cream book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little ice cream book. I saw a lot of criticism that they use raw eggs in their ice cream recipe but that is how most ice cream is made. I wouldn't recommend using whole eggs because they can be easily contaminated but buy that egg that is in the little milk carton and use that instead. I think it is called Egg beaters. Those are goign to be free of contaminants and the ice cream will taste fab! The recipes are great starting places and I pretty much just use the basic recipe not and do my own thing. Strawberry is my favorite though. It is also a good little book to tell you the history of Ben and Jerry's. An interesting read.Book Review: CREATIVE EASY TO PREPARE ICE CREAM RECIPES
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great ice cream book, full of simple no cook - no wait recipes with ample illustrations to keep your mind alert. The author's sense of humor makes it a very enjoyable read, but the recepes themselves are the stars. They share such favorites as Cherry Garcia, Mocha, Health Bar Crunch, Orange Cream, Kiwi Sorbet, Cantaloupe and Oreo Vanilla.My only problem with this book is because it was written awhile ago, they are still using raw eggs in their most popular/recommended ice cream base. Substitute with a pasterized egg product (Egg Beaters/Better N Eggs) if you aren't sure of the freshness/safeness of your eggs.
Book Review: Always Enjoy A Ben & Jerry's with this book!!!

If you love Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream but cringe sometimes at the price, this book is for you. I don't know how this would work with a hand spun maker but with the electric one I bought (Cuisinart ICE-20, its perfect every time. Just the base recipe alone is worth making daily!! WOW! My whole family can't believe how much this taste like the real thing. I never had any ice-cream making experience before and now I can make awesome ice-cream for a great price. Enough for the whole family (34 adults, 2 kids) for around $3-$4. Great deal. My cookie dough recipe was incredible. Worth every penny and won't disappoint!!!Book Review: For creamy, delicious treats!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd tried making ice cream in a hand cranked ice cream maker someone gave my fiance and I a while back. I thought the machine was faulty because the ice cream wasn't very good. Then I bought Ben and Jerry's book and I realized it wasn't the machine! All I'd needed was good recipes! Our favorite is the coffee one. It's so smooth and creamy and flavorful it puts my past favorites of Hagen Daz and Starbucks in the back seat. I wondered about the raw egg safety so I'm glad to read what another reviewer said about buying pasturized eggs. I feel like now I can serve this to my niece and nephews without a worry.
