I made a recipe for the lemon frozen yogurt and cut out the cream cheese (just because we didn't have it). It turned out fantastically, just took a little longer to freeze. I'm not a texture snob, so the texture from the cream cheese isn't really something that I'm devoted to.CGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256456742503046710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354528689599607554.post-22154971715019204992014-09-18T22:03:25.405-04:002014-09-18T22:03:25.405-04:00So...

I tried her banana ice cream flavor once, and it tasted like cheese.<br /><br />Part of Jeni's ice cream base is cream cheese, which she uses for texture. I think for most of her recipes, the flavors are so bold that it really doesn't matter much. But for my batch, I made plain banana, without whatever add-ins she recommended, because my sweetie doesn't like STUFF in his ice cream.<br /><br />I'd be curious to hear if other readers found her ice cream overly cheesy, when making the recipe exactly to her instructions?<br /><br />One useful thing I took away from the book was using tapioca starch instead of cornstarch ... I made that switch in my usual frozen custard recipe and have been very pleased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354528689599607554.post-35311874525624372362014-09-14T21:25:31.987-04:002014-09-14T21:25:31.987-04:00I really should have posted a huge warning at the ...I really should have posted a huge warning at the start of this post :) It's times like these that I am very thankful that I'm a serious runner!CGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256456742503046710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354528689599607554.post-17755401894692170742014-09-14T20:12:45.682-04:002014-09-14T20:12:45.682-04:00Yum, these sound delicious.
