Well, this is interesting. I pride myself in being second to none when it comes to licorice appreciation. But it's hard to decide how I feel about this ice cream. The recipe is well-written and is easy to scale. I divided it by four to make in my canister-type ice cream maker. I think this ice cream might actually be more suited in combination with other kinds of ice cream, for example something fruity. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us. I'm glad I tried it. Edited to add that this was deliciously irresistable after firming up in the freezer overnight. Thank you again for the recipe!

This is exactly what I was looking for and this recipe did not disappoint. I do not even like black licorice and this is good. I made a half batch and the day before I put it into the ice cream freezer and then left it in the freeze for a day. No reason on leaving it in the freezer except my schedule but the results were great. I am making this for my adult sons bday and he is going to LOVE it

This was a good recipe. I made it 2 days ago and I my ice cream churn is smaller than indicated in the recipe. I also substituted half-and-half for the milk - only 4 cups required to get to the fill line on my churn. After curing overnight, it was very delicious and my family loves it. With my substitution, it has much more calories from fat than the noted nutritional facts, but I have not run the calculation. Next time, I will use milk - again only 4 cups. <br/><br/>I recommend it.
