Shulz, and think of life simply as an ice cream cone.  It will make everything seem far less daunting.

Some methods for making frozen concoctions yield better results than others and I must admit that I do prefer a good custard-based ice cream to most other recipes I have tried.  For an exceptionally smooth and creamy texture, however, I may have found another option to that eggy custard base.
