Made this today for PAC Fall 2008 and it's in the fridge chilling until tomorrow. I'm reviewing now as I got the honors of licking the spatula and this could make an incredible pudding! DH will freeze this tomorrow and we'll have to enjoy it frozen. ;) It is very rich (I did make exactly as written), so a little goes a long way and it would just like an Almond Joy if it had some almonds in it. Next time we might try to lighten slightly. Thanks Lauren for a new and different ice cream recipe.

I hail from Wisconsin...God's Country. Where the air is clean, the scenery beatiful and the people are friendly. Come visit me! I am self-employed so I have a lot of time for my two favorite hobbies....motorcycling and cooking. We logged 21,000 miles last year. We entertain our 7 children and their families frequently so we BBQ alot. I love all type of cookbooks...but, especially regional church or organizational cookbooks...they know how to cook!! I love "peasant food"....meat, potatoes, etc. and chocolate. I am allergic to broccoli (even tho' I love it) . This site is awesome....some great cooks hang out here!
