The flavor of this ice cream is just perfect for a coffee-holic like me, but the texture is, well, kinda like whipped cream. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I haven't the foggiest! I tried to make the ice cream the other evening, but the mixture never even thickened. I gave up after about 45 minutes and threw everything back in the freezer/fridge. I tried again the next day and things thickened nicely for about 5 minutes, then I ended up with a slightly thickened soup. I tossed the whole thing in the freezer and called it a weekend. I poked at the mix today and found that it had somewhat thickened. Super easy to scoop with a soft texture like it was left out for 15 minutes. Anyone have any suggestions? Texture aside, this recipe is beautiful!! JJ, was the bucket of your ice cream maker thoroughly frozen? Sounds to me like your freezer simply isn't cold enough, because despite what it did in the ice cream maker, it should have become pretty much rock-hard in your freezer. Is it at 0°F? Is it self-defrosting? Maybe with the self-defrost feature (if it has one) it just keeps warming the ice cream up enough to thaw it? Hmmm... PJH
