Hello, My Name Is Ice Cream: The Art and Science of the Scoop: A Cookbook

Hello, My Name Is Ice Cream is a cookbook by James Beard-nominated pastry chef Dana Cree containing more than 100 recipes for ice cream flavors and mix-ins. The book combines three elements: a quick-start guide to making ice cream at home, a guide to understanding how flavors work together, and an explanation of the science behind ice cream—including how it forms, how air and sugars affect texture and flavor, and how to manipulate these factors. Recipes progress from foundational flavors like chocolate and Tahitian vanilla to more adventurous infusions, custards, sherbets, and frozen yogurt styles. The book also features mix-ins designed by Cree, including chocolate chips engineered to melt on contact when bitten and crunchy brownie bits.
