Tonight I made a recipe for Mexican chocolate gelato that I found on Ayun Halliday's food blog, <a href="http://dirtysugarcookies.blogspot.com/">Dirty Sugar Cookies</a>.<br /><br />I had to restrain myself from eating all the un-frozen mix as it cooled in the bowl. I am a huge fan of chocolate pudding, and this was some top-notch Valrhona 71% cacao dark bittersweet chocolate pudding. But some of it did finally make it into the machine. It's fantastic.<br /><br />Some other ice-cream recipes I've had success with are <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_14995_PRINT-RECIPE-FULL-PAGE,00.html">Emeril's No-Cook Strawberry</a>, the Molasses ice cream in <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_29159_PRINT-RECIPE-FULL-PAGE,00.html">this recipe</a>, <a href="http://dessert.allrecipes.com/az/BttrPcnIcCrm.asp">Butter Pecan</a> (careful not to scorch the pecans -- I did twice), and <a href="http://dessert.allrecipes.com/az/QickMintChcltChipIcCrm.asp">Mint Chocolate Chip</a>. Still looking for a good pumpkin recipe.
