Ice cream experiments

I had one of those moments a few weeks ago - the type brought about because you like being inventive with icecream, and you like messing with flavours, but you can't think of any new flavours to do. The moment when you just start going through all the flavours you like and wondering how they will go in a vanilla icecream. And an old favourite popped into my head - musk. I love musk; I know it's not everybody's favourite but it definitely one of mine.

My original plan was to buy some musk sticks, break them up and watch them dissolve in the cream/condensed milk mixture. But, musk sticks werre unavailable, so I had to use musk lifesavers instead. I crushed up a bit over half a packet in my pestle and mortar, and poured it in once my ice cream was churning. I thought the hard pre-dissolved bits might cause scratching on my freezing canister, but it seems ok. The beater is a bit ragged around the edges though, so I think I might have been better off with musk sticks.

And now, I just have to wait and see what it tastes like...
