This is a very different recipe. It would be perfect for apple pie. I will have to try it to see if I like it.
I never heard of Cheddar Ice Cream, but I will try anything once. Thank you for sharing.
I’m not sure about this recipe, Cheddar ice cream? That is a lot of Half and Half, milk, and 18 eggs? WOW!It will definitely be rich!
18 egg yolks! Oh my, that is a lot! I was intrigued by the thought of cheddar ice cream, but I think I’ll be taking a pass on this one; with a quart of half-and-half and 18 yolks, not to mention the two pounds of cheese, it would be the most expensive and rich ice cream in history!
I have an ice cream maker but haven’t hauled it out yet this year. If August is hot, I’ll be making some Nutella ice cream, my favorite.
Never had or heard of this. Very creative and unique. This would be great for the First of July…National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day…or a nice way to wrap up National Ice Cream Month. My work celebrated with a sundae party. The bosses supplied the ice cream and everyone brought in a different topping. Ok, it was my day off, but I still managed to find time to go by. 🙂 Keep enjoying ice cream year round!
Tillamook cheese is the best and this recipe is awesome. I will have to give it a try and see how it tastes. I do not have any vanilla beans. But I will get some. Thanks for sharing.
I like mint chocolate chip the best and don’t care for nuts in my ice cream.
My favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate, my least favorite is vanilla. Any time I have vanilla I always add candy or spices to give it more flavor. I think this cheddar ice cream is very creative, I would definitely give it a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
When it comes to homemade ice cream I love vanilla bean all the way around…except when the peaches are in season! Then bring ’em on. I just don’t know if I could wrap my palette around Cheddar Ice Cream or not.
I’m a vanilla girl and always will be. I even like the vanilla perfume! I bet that cheddar tastes great though. My dad always used to crank the ice cream at our family reunions and that is by far the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I should try new recipes and maybe this one would be great to try.
