Great Scoops: Ice Cream Recipes (Includes Nut + Gluten Free)

Ice cream really does make everything better. These ice cream recipes are compiled with love by the team at The Merry Dairy; Great Scoops features a cheerful collection of 80 easy, custard-style, and vegan ice creams and delectable desserts.

The seasons are a driving force in the development of ice cream flavors. Ice cream isn’t only to be savored in summer (admittedly, it’s all the more delicious when the temperatures soar). As seasons change, we find renewed energy in the kitchen with readily available rhubarb, pumpkins, and raspberries, and then along come peaches, sweet corn, dark cherries, late plums, and autumn pears. Best of all, the ice creams are nut-free, sesame-free (and some even gluten-free).

Great Scoops is a captivating cookbook about artisanal ice cream, the people who craft it, and the community that loves them for it. The delightful selection of classic and whimsical flavors reminds us that delicious homemade ice creams can be made year-round and, more importantly, that you’re never too old (and it’s never too cold) to enjoy a heartfelt scoop.
