Perfect "excuse" to finally purchase an ice cream making machine! Unique. Interesting. A definite challenge to the taste buddies! Way to go Amy! Love the finger test on the balsamic reduction. Perhaps one could also use that when 'testing' hot fudge sauce? Have a great summer and keep up with the great blogs! Yes, get the machine- you will never regret it! Thanks for reading and entertaining new ideas, Paul. Hot fudge sauce should "hug" the plate too! ~Amy :)
