Ice cream is more fun with friends, but also with cones, sprinkles, candied nuts, hot honeyâyou get where weâre going. So the editors of Food52 brought together sixty well-tested recipes for frozen desserts of all styles and a billion (give or take a few) ideas for toppings and add-ons. There are surprising flavorsâthink cinnamon roll ice cream, coffee frozen custard, and grilled watermelon cremoladaâand spins on enduring favorites, such as spiced fudgesicles, cherry-mint snow cones, and even a chocolate-hazelnut baked Alaska. There are Saltine and waffle sandwiches, boozy floats, and something called âspoom.â There are tricks for making ice cream without a maker and spiffing up the store-bought stuff, and Hail Marys for when things go wrong (like whenâwhoops!âall the ice cream melts). But donât be nervous: even if youâve never made ice cream before, youâre in good hands with this no-fuss, all-fun book. Consider it your permission to play (and eat a ton of really good ice cream).
