I made ice cream for friends. We made two flavors: chocolate and honey-lavender. We used the recipes linked below to make the batter. We basically followed the recipe and instructions exactly. The only note is that the last step with reheating, we went to 170-175°F based on Alton Brown's recipe (more exact then "sticks to a spoon"). We also topped the chocolate with maldon salt.

To actually make the ice cream we did the dry ice trick. The first batch got kinda messed up. I added too much too quickly and next thing I knew, ice cream was being thrown around the kitchen...literally. For the second one, I figured out some tips and tricks as follows:

The idea is to get the dry ice as powdered as possible. But it is important to not try to get it all at once. You'll waste time and heat up the dry ice too much.

The technique worked pretty well. We certainly had ice cream at the end. The second batch done better was more carbonated than the first but the first was better (though that may have been the actual ice cream). What I do not know is how to control overrun (ie, the air mixed into the batter). It came out super rich.
