Something else. Good base flavours. You can at least partially prevent the rock-hard freezing problem by adding alcohol (1 or 2 oz) to the mix before putting it in the machine. Vodka won't add any taste, or you could add pear liqueur, or a complementary flavour of some other kind. Most all of my ice cream recipes have a little alcohol in them (since I rarely use enough fat or sugar to keep the creaminess level high), in the form of rum or vodka. It works wonders.  -  29 Sep 2008

Made it healthier. Fabulous flavour! I made mine with pears in light syrup and low sugar, fat-free yoghurt. I was very pleased with the results as were my guests. Will definitely be making this again.  -  29 Sep 2008

Very light and refreshing.  -  29 Sep 2008
