    Can’t wait to try this. I make a version of the Tumbleweed ice cream dessert from the old restaurant Steak & Ale. It is flavored with Crème de Cocao and Kahlua. It always melts so fast. Fonally, I know how fix the melting problem! Love learning new things from you!

    Oh yes, I forgot to say I serve the Tumblewerd Ice Cream in homemade Cocolate Walnut Meringue dessert shells. So good! Have used them as a parfait as well.

    I can’t wait to try this product! I would say my favorite is a maple bourbon ice cream 🙂

  • I have made beer, apricot (using the mash left over from wine making) and merlot ice creams. There was quite a buzz from the apricot, but chocolate merlot is my favorite.
