Spiked Samoa Milkshake

This is a Girl Scout Cookie-inspired milkshake for grownups only, but you can leave out the booze if you want to make a version for kids.

Coffee 'N Cookies 'N Cream Ice Cream

This recipe blends fragrant, creamy Tahitian vanilla bean with ground coffee for a sweet, rich, coffee-tinged base for crushed Oreos.

Coconut-Palm Sugar Ice Cream

Palm sugar lends a soft caramel flavor with a tinge of butterscotch that makes this ice cream special. Add coconut milk, eggs, and pandan to the team and we've got a combination of flavors that South East Asians have enjoyed for ages.

Cookies 'n Cream Ice Cream

Don't hesitate to use real Oreos in this recipe, but if you'd like to go all the way, follow my Fauxreo recipe for a 100% homemade version. There is a gluten free variation with the Fauxreo recipe, so it may be used to make this ice cream gluten free as well.

Scooped: Duck Fat Caramel Soy Sauce Ice Cream

If this sounds like something up your alley, you can look forward to what may be the richest caramel you will ever eat. Besides adding complex flavor, the duck fat lets the caramel linger on the tongue long after the ice cream is gone. Soy sauce works surprisingly well with caramel, drawing out its buttery qualities.

Mr. Softee-Style Vanilla Bean Soft-Serve

Let your ice cream thaw to the point of melting before serving; the gelatin will keep it from turning into soup.

Oreo Ice Cream

This ice cream may look like plain chocolate, but it's not—it's a super concentrated version of cookies 'n cream. Its rich flavor and color come from crushed Oreo wafers (which you can feel free to buy or make from scratch), with a handful of crushed sandwich cookies folded in at the end. It tastes just like Oreos, but in a creamy, scoop-shop form.

Homemade Speculoos Ice Cream

Biscoff cookies, whether real or copycat, give this silky ice cream an intriguing caramel flavor, while dairy dilutes the spices into something mellow and mild. With a shot of espresso, it makes an amazing twist on affogato.

Saffron, Honey, and Orange Ice Cream

This ice cream is all about balance: heady saffron, floral honey, and bittersweet orange zest.

Scooped: Black Sesame and Orange Ice Cream

In Asia, black sesame ice cream is as classic a flavor as vanilla in the States. The rich, roasted flavors of the seeds are a perfect match for a light custard.
