In Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Desserts, ice creams deliciously melt into hot brown Bettys, berry cobblers, sweet empanadas, and corn fritters. Her one-of-a-kind cakes and cookies are not only served with ice cream, they get crumbled on top and incorporated into the ice cream base itself.

Sundae combinations dazzle with bold and inspired sauces, such as Whiskey Caramel and Honey Spiked with Chilies. And Jeni’s crunchy “gravels” (crumbly sundae toppings)―such as Salty Graham Gravel and Everything Bagel Gravel―are unlike toppings anyone has ever seen before.

Store-bought ice cream can be used for all the desserts in the book, but it will be hard to resist Jeni’s breakthrough recipes for dairy-free ice cream, frozen custard, and soft-serve. Thirty brand-new flavors, including Cumin & Honey Butterscotch and Extra-Strength Root Beer Ice Cream, attest to the magic of this unique and alluring collection.

Title: Great companion if you already have Jeni's first book!
Review: I love Jeni's ice cream. Her recipes are the best. You'll never end up with icy rock-hard ice cream if you follow her method. I have her first book, Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, and it's wonderful. Several people have gone out and bought an ice cream maker and her book after tasting the ice cream that i've made from it. If you're looking to buy your first ice cream cook book, I recommend you buy that one first. It has nice basic flavors like chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla (but so much better tasting than store bought basics!), not to mention Salty Caramel which is the BEST. Plus it has more interesting, unusual flavors in there as well, like Chamomile Chardonnay, Coriander with Raspberry Sauce, Sweet Basil and Honeyed Pine Nut just to name a few. And of course many flavors in between. Book two doesn't have the basic flavors, but has some very interesting new recipes. You can look inside the book and check out the table of contents before you buy it so I won't repeat the flavors in my review. I have to admit, some flavors are a little out there for me but her recipes have never let me down so I might just try something that I wouldn't have thought to try before. If you have the first book, this second book modifies the ice cream recipes a little bit. She says that the recipes in her first book were tested with the Cuisinart ICE-20 machine and the ones in her second book are modified a bit for the Cuisinart ICE-21 machine, which freezes ice cream faster. She says that with her original recipes, using the ICE-21 won't whip the ice cream enough and they will end up more dense. But I have the ICE-21 and used it with her first book and never noticed the difference. The modified recipes use slightly different quantities of ingredients, including twice the amount of corn syrup, which I'm not too happy about but I'm going to look for tapioca syrup to use as a substitute. It's just hard to find. The modified recipes also seem to make a larger quantity of ice cream, maybe closer to 1.5 quarts as opposed to 1 qt. I like the other sections of this book as well. Bake Shop gives you recipes for baked goods that look delicious and not too hard to make. Then Ice Cream Parlor gives you ideas for ice cream desserts. I'm going to use one of her recipes to make an ice cream cake for my son's 3rd birthday. She gives you a cake recipe and all the steps. So overall, a great companion to her first book, but get that other one first if you don't have it already!

Title: Jeni Does It Again!
Review: It is no secret that I am a raving fan of Jeni Britton Bauer. When people ask me where to go for ice cream, I send them to her shop. When people ask me what ice cream cookbook to purchase, I recommend Jeni's first book. And now she has a second book! I'm telling you that I'm beside myself. Jeni's cookbooks don't make me feel like a rock star in my kitchen...that's just stupid. Jeni's cookbooks make me feel like a professional chef in my kitchen, and that's worth everything.Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream Desserts is the book that you have to buy if you have a comfortable mastery of homemade ice cream preparation and are looking to advance your skills by turning that ice cream into restaurant worthy desserts. The book is divided into three main parts: ice cream parlor, bakeshop, and sundae bar.Ice cream parlor gives you all new ice cream recipes that aren't found in the original Jeni's book. Think black forest cake ice cream, bellini sorbet, and salty caramel Crème sans Lait. Caution: this is not the book you want to buy if you are looking for run of the mill basics! You will not be getting plain vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. These are inspired recipes with big twists in the flavors, and while they're awesome, this isn't the book for you if you want basic flavors. The French Toast Frozen Custard is incredible.Bakeshop provides lots of recipes so that you can serve cakes, cobblers, and cookies alongside your awesome homemade ice creams. You will find wiseman's chocolate cake, Bauer House biscuits, sautéed fruit, and all manner of delicious ice cream accompaniments. Wiseman's chocolate cake is one of the moistest chocolate cakes you can make.Sundae bar will help you put it all together with gorgeous photos of assembled parfaits and sundaes. Somehow Jeni has elevated these humble drugstore desserts into works of art meant to eaten. I haven't made this one yet but the Salty Grahama (whipped cream, salty vanilla custard, sliced bananas, whiskey caramel sauce, and salty graham gravel) is next on my list. Jeni gives you the recipes for every component you need from sauces to gravels in this section.It's a well made book with beautiful photography, but I have come to expect nothing less from this ice cream expert who only uses the best ingredients and tries to locally source them. I have worn out her previous book, and I can tell this book is going to get the same workout this summer. The only problem with Jeni's books is that I have trouble not taking credit for her work when I serve up the end product.

Title: So far so good
Review: Read through this the other day on my kindle and made the wiseman’s chocolate cake for my coworker’s birthday. Topped it with the chocolate glaze. Unfortunately ran out of time to try an ice cream recipe, but the cake was moist and the glaze was tasty. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed the table provided for glaze consistency options. I purchased this book because I received an ice cream maker for Christmas. So I better make time to try out both these recipes and the machine.

Review: Ich könnte deshalb für das Buch auch vier Sterne geben, denn für Eisdesserts sicherlich ein gutes Buch.Aber ich wollte mehr neue Eissorten von Jeni! Und da gibt das Buch eben nicht ganz so viel her. Das war mir aber auch vorher bewusst!Die enthaltenen Eissorten sind größtenteils sehr ausgefallen und daher oft auch nicht so einfach nachzumachen, da die Zutaten recht außergewöhnlich sind und nicht immer einfach zu beschaffen.Ich habe bisher das Kekseis ausprobiert und habe es mit selbstgemachten Graham Crackern gemacht, anstatt mit den empfohlenen Butterkeksen, da ich das langweilig fand und das Eis war der Hammer!Ich bin auch ein großer Fan des Jeni Eises, da es einfach herzustellen (keine Eier die gerinnen können und übriges Eiweiß!) ist, sehr lecker ist, außergewöhnlich gute Sorten hat und cremig ist. Also alles was ich an Eis schätze! Ich mache daher mein Eis seit Jahren nur noch auf Jeni-Basis, Eis mit Eigelb mache ich überhaupt nicht mehr.Also ein durchwachsenes Buch: für Eisdessertliebhaber ein Muss! Wer neue Eissorten sucht sollte sich darauf gefasst machen, dass es nicht so viele sind und diese anspruchsvoller sind was die Zutaten angehen.

Review: Es el segundo libro de Jeni que compro, me gusta mucho su tecnica para hacer helado y he hecho ya muchisimos con muy buenos resultados. Son faciles de hacer siempre que se tenga una heladera. Las fotos son preciosas y las recetas están bien esplicadas. Lo compré de segunda mano y el libro vino prácticamente nuevo.

Review: Per una "piccola" multinazionale che produce macchinari per il gelato artigianale (nel mondo anglofono Italian Gelato) stiamo "costruendo" una piccola biblioteca specializzata. Grazie!
