We’ve always loved anise ice cream, so I imagine we’d like fennel too. I’ve found a lot of people claim to dislike anise/fennel simply because they associate it with licorice, but I often serve something with those flavors and they end up really liking it. I think anise and fennel have a more subtle nuanced taste that are really wonderful, anise-chocolate pairing is great and also anise shortbread cookies.

Deb,

I purchased an ice cream machine just to make this recipe. After trying out a few other flavors first (french vanilla, mint chocolate chip, and chocolate) I finally made the fennel ice cream. Heaven in a bowl! I would have never thought of using fennel or anise to flavor ice cream, but the results were delicious! Thanks.

We broke a piece of the dasher on our KA attachment yesterday (July 4!) while making fresh ginger and lemon ice cream from David’s book. Oh! the horror! My sturdy husband patched it up temporarily but it will not last through the remaining summer months and we are not sure a replacement piece is available. I was thinking about buying a second attachment so I could easily make two flavors (we have a chest freezer in the garage) but not this soon.

Sigh.

On the positive side, ginger-lemon ice cream rocks! Eaten as molasses spice cookie sandwiches or just the little scrapey bits that you clean out of the bowl with your spatula.

Do you think this would translate to fresh fennel, somehow? I’ve got a big gorgeous bulb in my CSA this week, and no clue what to do with it. My ice cream obsession is in full swing right now though, and I’m itching to try this! Do you think I’d have better success steeping just the tops, or the actual veg (or both) in the cream for the desired flavor profile?

I have just finished making this ice cream. A few moments ago took it out of the Cuisinart and into a container to freeze. Have to agree with everything here… This is a really tremendous recipe. I put a few more fennel seeds in than the recipe calls for and it still is not overpowering… Now going to be checking out The Perfect Scoop…
