Bi-Rite Creamery's Salted Caramel Ice Cream

[Photograph: Max Falkowitz] The salted caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery is one of the best I've ever tasted. It's wildly complex, a tad smoky, and just salty enough. Just as important, it's ridiculously creamy thanks to an especially high...

Classic Vanilla Ice Milk

Like sorbet, ice milk is light and refreshing on a hot summer's day, but with the creamy, soft consistency you'll find in the best ice cream.

Malted Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

Seek out high quality milk chocolate for this recipe; Valrhona and Callebaut have very good versions. Freezing the malted milk balls before adding them to the ice cream will keep the temperature down and prevent melting during the final minute of churning.

Beer Caramel Ice Cream

Really good caramel ice cream comes from playing chicken with your sugar. Don't let it intimidate you while melting it; the sugar should be the color of dark stained wood. I let it smoke, then slowly count to 3 before plunging in butter and cream. Those last three seconds are where those beautiful smoky flavors develop.

Better Than Snickers Milkshake

This extra-thick milkshake has all the flavors of a classic Snickers bar: caramel, chocolate, and peanuts. Unsweetened cocoa powder works to add a punch of chocolate flavor without amping up the sippable dessert's sweetness.

Salted Butterscotch Hot Chocolate

Real butterscotch makes this spiked hot cocoa delicious.

Malted Chocolate Milkshake

What's the secret to making a chocolate milkshake better? Add malt! A healthy dose of malted milk powder makes this milkshake taste like a frozen malted milk ball.

Vanilla Ice Cream Soda

With very little effort you can make an awesome ice cream soda in your own kitchen.

Milky and Mild Coffee Ice Cream

If you're a fan of sweet, milky lattes and the Haagen-Dazs style of mild, creamy coffee ice cream, this is the recipe for you. It's rich and buttery with a nice kick of coffee flavor for balance and only a touch of bitterness to keep the sugar in check.

Iced Coffee and Almond Sherbet

This sherbet is only as good as the iced coffee that goes into it, so use the best you can get or make. Once you've managed that, this recipe comes together in less than ten minutes and is churned in another twenty.
