Mexican Ice Cream: Beloved Recipes and Stories [A Cookbook] Kindle Edition

I LOVE this book! Great stories of Mexico, regional favorites, beautiful photos and OH! the recipes!!! Now I can make Mole Icecream with my leftover mole (full disclosure, I am a chef and Mexican cuisine is one of my specialties, but so much to learn here and it's easy to understand and follow the recipes) or there's a great recipe to make your own mole. Plus so many interesting flavors (Horchata Ice Cream anyone? Or Walnut with Pomegranate? Deviled Mango Sorbet?) and all the toppings, even a recipe for Cajeta, Mexico's famous goat milk caramel, instructions on how to make your own Sugar Cones, even Vanilla & Tequila Whipped Cream. Best $12 I've spent in a long time!!! Great summer gift, too!

This is the 2nd book that I bought from Fany Gerson, a pastry chef who loves eating ice cream especially her childhood favorites, and made other adapted recipes that feature all sorts of flavors popular in Mexico. She also features the types of ice cream gadgets that nevero use to make their signature flavors of ice cream. This is another awesome cookbook that features different recipes on making Mexican ice cream. I also never expected to find sorbets, popular Mexican toppings and other frozen treats. One of the great cookbooks that feature stories from popular and famous regional frozen treats, flavors unique to a few regions in Mexico, and the process of making these wonderful treats.I really liked her writing because it is so fun to read an introduction of each unique flavor of the popular Mexican ice cream. This is a keeper in my frozen treat Kindle library.

It's nuts that this book doesn't have more raving reviews. Quite frankly, leaving thru it is some form of achievable pornography. These might take a step or two to make but ice cream, generally speaking, is not rocket science. I just love the flavor combos and at times using the recipes as a jumping off point for some improvisation to please our tastes. So far, we've done the Lime Pie Ice Cream (used key limes) and the Horchata Ice Cream. Both were just amazing. Can't wait to try more. Thank you for opening my mind with this!

With so many people not drinking now a days...a bottle of wine is out as a house gift. So when I'm invited to dinner, I whip up a batch of ice cream. This way, they have a treat for later. I pack it in the Tovolo glide a scoop, easy peasy!! The black walnut is my fav, so far. I toast the nuts first, not soak, as they say in the book.

There are not enough stars for this book. By far the best ice cream recipe book I've read. I plan on making every. single. one. For those who complain that the recipes are too esoteric, I wonder if they've never heard of a palate cleanser or a chilled summer soup. These don't have to be served as desserts--the recipes are so versatile they can be used for so many things! The book sets your creative culinary mind buzzing!

The recipes in this book are, by no means, meant for those who are not willing to put in a bit of work for an amazing result. (I spend at least two days per ice-cream.) The horchata and rose petal ice creams I made for my homemade waffle cones are flavors I could not get anywhere else!

I'd been waiting on this book for a while and was worried I'd hyped it up in my head.It was what I wanted and so much more. Though, I am not Mexican - the flavor pallettes in this are 100% down my alley (cinnamon, chile, roses, chocolate) - the cricket one was a bit out of my realm of experience but almost all the recipes are amazing. Still so excited about this book!

The book is amazing. My wife is from Mexico o when I bought this book she was so excited because as a child she enjoyed the ice cream from her home town but she never discovered how to make it until now. This book is very precise and you will enjoy the results of your labor.

Este es un libro que está escrito en forma amena, y que fácilmente con el conocimiento técnico puede ser interpretado como punto de partida para el desarrollo de postres lácteos congelados. Las recetas pueden ser cambiadas a porcentajes y extrapolarlas a una fórmula general, lo importante es que las pautas son muy buenas para poder usarlas para los desarrollos. Es recomendable tanto para los fabricantes artesanales como para los que estén a la búsqueda de ideas para desarrollos nuevos en sistemas de producción más equipados.

It's a great book, the recipe of leche quemada ice-cream was delicious, the instructions were clear and it has a little bit of information about the origin of the recipe.
