My First Call for ACTION !

Stanley Feld MD, FACP, MACE

Every time I visit my sons and their families in Boulder I am asked to less write intensely in my blog. It is difficult for me. I feel a sense of urgency to precipitate action immediately before the system fails and medical care is destroyed.

However, during dinner one night, we were talking about the fact that I finally got an ice cream maker. I am a lover of chocolate ice cream. I have searched the world for the best tasting chocolate ice cream. So far the winner is Vivoli in Florence, Italy.

My wife and I are part of a supper club in Dallas called the Gourmet Group. The five couples have met every 6 weeks for the last thirty four years. Last month the meal was at our house. Cecelia assigned one couple to make Maida Heatter’s recipe “Doris Duke’s Bittersweet Chocolate Ice Milk.”

I discovered that I did not have to travel all over the world for the best chocolate ice cream. I had it in my dining room during Gourmet Groups dinner.

I have a fantasy that I can become a Chocolate Ice Cream Making Superstar. I then could have great ice cream any time I want. However, I need your help.

The Call for ACTION is:

If any one out there has an outstanding recipe for chocolate ice cream, please send it to me. I will make it in my new electric ice cream maker. I will make judgments about the quality and taste and then share the recipes and rating with all of you out there. I will also do some innovative things to the recipes to try to create the best chocolate ice cream ever made. Thanks for your help.

How did you ice cream experiments go? Did you like the chocolate pudding ice cream recipe?

Glacier -- in Boulder -- has a chocolate flavor that is a knockout. Best I've ever had.

From their website: "Death By Chocolate - Our homemade soft chocolate chunks mixed in a double dark chocolate base with a homemade hot fudge swirl."

Maybe they can give you some hints on the recipe.

Thanks
It looks great. I am going to try it

hi Stan,

My wife has made this:

a couple times... I have hard time not eating the entire batch in one sitting. Maybe not as gourmet as what you're looking for, but chocolate + raspberries = really good IMHO.
