Steps:

• For the ice cream: In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the cream, 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the vanilla seeds. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, then add the white chocolate and whisk until combined and smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine the eggs and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and beat until smooth.
• Strain the cream mixture through a fine mesh sieve, and then whisk a third of the cream mixture into the eggs. Immediately whisk the eggs into the remaining cream mixture. Chill the ice cream base over an ice bath and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Using an ice cream maker, churn the ice cream base according to the manufacturer's instructions. Freeze in an airtight container for 1 hour.
• For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed, cream together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla and eggs. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, and mix until the batter is smooth. Turn off the mixer and fold in half of the pistachios and the lemon zest using the spatula.
• Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cookie dough at a time onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some room between each cookie, for about 12 cookies total. Press down the tops of the dough slightly and sprinkle with some nonpareils. Bake until the cookies are light brown, 12 minutes for chewy cookies or about 15 minutes for crispy cookies.
• Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a shallow dish, combine the remaining pistachios with the blueberries. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop some ice cream onto a cookie, and top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining cookies and ice cream. Roll the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in the pistachio-blueberry mixture and freeze for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• To prepare the Sauce: Press the raspberries and their syrup through a sieve into a saucepan.
• Add the corn syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch mixture.
• (If using preserves, omit the cornstarch mixture, but add the water.) Bring to a boil, stirring often, then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
• Pour into a bowl and cool, then chill For the Ice Cream: In a saucepan, combine the milk and 1 cup of the cream and bring to a boil.
• Beat the yolks and the sugar in a bowl with a hand-held electric mixture for 2-3 minutes, until thick and creamy.
• Gradually pour the hot milk mixture over the yolks and return to the pan.
• Cook over medium heat until the custard coats the back of a wooden spoon, stirring constantly Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the white chocolate until melted and smooth.
• Pour the remaining cream into a large bowl.
• Strain in the hot custard, mix well, then stir in the vanilla.
• Cool, then transfer the custard to an ice-cream maker and freeze it according to the manufactor's instructions When the mixture is frozen, but still soft, transfer 1/3 of the ice cream into a freezerproof bowl.
• Set half the raspberry sauce aside.
• Spoon a third of the remaining sauce over the ice cream.
• Cover with another 1/3 over the ice cream and then more sauce.
• Repeat.
• With a knife or spoon, lightly marble the mixture.
• Cover and freeze.
• Let the ice cream soften for 15 minutes before serving with the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• Place the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl and beat together until well blended (this bowl will sit over a saucepan of water at step 3, so make sure you get your sizes right first).
• Gently heat the single cream, chocolate and coconut in a saucepan until they melt; once melted continue to heat, stirring constantly until almost boiling; pour the cream mixture onto the egg mixture, stirring vigourously to mix everything thoroughly.
• Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering wter, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water; heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until it lightly coats the back of a spoon; turn off the heat, carefully take the bowl off the pan and leave the contents to cool.
• Place the double cream and rum (or whatever you are using) into a seperate bowl and whip until slightly thickened; then fold into the cooled chocolate mixture.
• Freeze in an ice-cream maker, or pour into one large or 2 small freezerproof containers and freeze for 8 hours (or overnight).
• Unless you want spoons like Uri Geller's, transfer the container from the freezer to your fridge for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Split bean, scrape out seeds.
• Mix dry ingredients, add milk and cream. Add bean and seeds. Bring almost to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat. Pour 1/2 cup of hot mixture into eggs in a thin stream, beating well. Return egg mixture to hot mixture, stirring.
• Replace on medium heat, add chocolate. Stir constantly until chocolate melts. Continue stirring while adding cheese.
• It will take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes for the cream cheese to melt. If the temperature is too high, the cheese will cook and become sweet cottage cheese.
• When all is melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly. This is not a thick custard.
• Pour 1 c heavy cream in large bowl. Strain milk/chocolate/cheese mixture into the cream. Stir well.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Freeze according to ice cream maker's directions.
• Temper the finished ice cream in a tightly covered container for several hours.

Steps:

• Heat milk, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and about 1 cup warm milk mixture in a bowl; stir egg mixture into saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Stir white chocolate chips into custard until melted. Pour custard into a large bowl and stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions until it reaches "soft-serve" consistency.
• Heat raspberries in a saucepan over medium heat until raspberries begin to fall apart, 7 to 10 minutes. Press raspberries through a sieve over a bowl to remove the seeds; discard seeds.
• Gently swirl raspberries into the soft ice cream creating ribbons of raspberries. Transfer ice cream to a one- or two-quart lidded plastic container; cover surface with plastic wrap and seal. For best results, ice cream should ripen in the freezer for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Break up the chocolate and place with the unsalted butter in a warm-ish oven for about 15 minutes. Remove and stir until melted and blended together.
• Over a low heat dissolve the sugar in the water then turn up the heat and boil rapidly for a few minutes to get a light syrup. It's ready before the syrup takes any colour, when a little dropped on to a cold plate forms a thread when stretched between finger and thumb. Leave the mixture to cool for just a minute.
• Place the egg yolks in a basin and begin whisking (ideally with an electric whisk), trickling in the hot syrup as you go. Continue whisking until the mixture is thick and mousse-like. Whisk in the cream. Then fold in the melted chocolate and butter until thoroughly blended. Then pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until frozen.

Steps:

• Put the chocolate pieces in a large bowl and set a mesh strainer over the top.
• Warm the milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly, then scrape the warmed egg yolks back into the saucepan.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula, scraping the bottom as you stir, until the mixture thickens and coats the spatula. Pour the custard through the strainer over the white chocolate. Stir until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, then stir in the cream. Stir until cool over an ice bath.
• Chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Make White Chocolate-Cherry Ice Cream by folding very well-drained and coarsely chopped Sour Cherries in Syrup (page 185) or Candied Cherries (page 215) into the just-churned ice cream.
• For Black and White Chocolate Ice Cream, layer one recipe of Fudge Ripple (page 210), Dark Chocolate Truffles (page 211), or Stracciatella (page 210) into the just-churned ice cream.

Steps:

• Stir chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until smooth. Remove from water. Cool to room temperature. Beat cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Stir half of cream into cooled chocolate; fold in remaining cream. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)

Steps:

• Stir milk, sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt together in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl. Slowly pour 1/2 cup of hot milk mixture into egg yolks while continuously whisking.
• Pour yolk mixture into simmering milk mixture and cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes; remove from heat, add white chocolate and stir until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
• Place mixture in refrigerator until cold, about 2 hours. Stir heavy cream and vanilla extract into chilled mixture until smooth; pour into ice cream maker's container and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
