This new offering from the incredibly popular baker and sweets maker Fany Gerson, the powerhouse behind Brooklyn's La Newyorkina and Dough, showcases the incredibly diverse flavors of Mexican ice cream while exploring the cultural aspects of preparing and consuming ice cream in Mexico. Gerson uses unique ingredients to create exciting and fresh flavors like Red Prickly Pear Ice Cream, Oaxacan-style Lime Sorbet, Avocado-Chocolate Ice Cream, and Rice-Almond Ice Cream with Cinnamon. All recipes are created with the home cook in mind, and written in Fany's knowledgeable but accessible voice. Mexican Ice Cream features vibrant location photography and captures the authentic Mexican heladerias that Gerson has been visiting for decades. For anyone looking to up their summer ice cream game, this is the book.

So many flavors! submitted by FordAlpha on August 31, 2019, 11:38pm I'm unlikely to make very many recipes from this book, even though they are written in a clear and accessible way, because so many of them would require special trips to find ingredients, and that's difficult with little kids. Still, I immensely enjoyed reading this book, learning about the culture of ice cream and other frozen treats in Mexico and fantasizing about the recipes I might make some day. The photographs of both locations and prepared recipes are beautiful. I have previously read Fany Gerson's "Paletas" and "My Sweet Mexico", and even though there's a lot of overlap in material, I happily read this book cover-to-cover.
