Hooray! I love cookbooks!
I don't know if they're into making ice cream, but it's really easy and fun:
Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, The Perfect Scoop, and Ample Hills are all great.
Homemade Muddy Buddy/Puppy Chow ice cream. The base is Jeni’s honeyed peanut recipe with muddy buddy pieces mixed in.
I'm a huge fan of Jeni Britton Bauer of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. I have her recipe book and every recipe I've tried has turned out perfect (except for one with beets, but that's because I undercooked the beets and don't have a good food processor). She explains the basics to her recipe, her approach to aroma, flavor, texture and gives a few tips for making your own recipes using her base.
I am a big fan of Jeni Britton Bauer's ice creams and frozen yoghurts (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1579654363). She uses an eggless ice cream base, and has quite a few frozen yoghurt recipes.
May I present her Darkest Chocolate Ice Cream in the World (http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/The-Darkest-Chocolate-Ice-Cream-in-the-World)?
My favourite though is probably the Bangkok peanut ice cream. Or maybe the sweet potato one. Or the lemon cream one.
We use the ice-cream maker all the time. Best gift ever.
For recipes, my wife loves Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home. They're just the right volume for the KitchnAid maker.
Oh yes, it was amazing, I must say. I get all my recipes from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams cookbook, and the bases lend themselves really easily to adaptation. She even has a recipe for sweet potato with torched marshmallow ice cream!
It's not my recipe, unfortunately. It comes from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, where she calls it the influenza RX Sorbet.
It was! Real blueberries and orange extract. I've been working my way through some of the marvelous ice creams from this book. The blueberry recipe in the book called for lavender oil as well as orange oil, but I didn't have any lavender on hand so I added a few extra drops of orange... yum!
Not a blog, but if you want to dive right in to the technical aspects of ice cream formulation, the Ice Cream E-Book is a good place to start. If you want a good source for reliable recipes, you won't go wrong with Jeni's or The Perfect Scoop.
Thanks! I'll try that with my next batch (rainier cherries) and report back the results.
About the corn syrup, I also made sorbet recipes as listed in Jeni's book which hers call for a large quantity of corn syrup coupled with sugar. This did not change ongoing issue. It was the same results with her recipes as it was with the basic one in my original post.
I bought this book for my wife who was making home made ice cream. It took it from ok to better than anything you can buy in the store or at I've cram shops. Well worth it if you want to make your own.

I love it. I make ice cream fairly regularly and this one has been so incredibly easy to use. I am even thinking about getting a second bowl to go with it for those times where I want to have two flavor options for when guests are over.
If you are looking for some new recipes, I really love Jeni's recipes. They all follow the same method, so once you have it down it's fairly easy to quickly whip up a batch and to even create some of your own flavors. Here's a link to her book.
Hey, hey... hey.
cut that shit out. If i've learned anything from my gf, you're doin it wrong. eggs are bad, WTF Protein powder?
i'm gonna make it soo easy on you, you'll be sending me pictures of your kids at christmas.
Obey the Jeni
Seriously, get this book. Do what it says. you will be happy. The dark chocolate is amazing. the salty caramel is fucking ecstasy.
I have a few ice cream cookbooks that I love - you can probably find a handful of recipes from them via Google and food blogs.
David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop. A lot of his recipes use an egg custard ice cream base - the recipes I've tried were delicious and really rich. He also has a lot of non-egg recipes and sorbets, plus recipes and suggestions for mix-ins. It's a good mix of more traditional flavors and some interesting/gourmet ones.
Jeni's book is another one that I've seen highly recommended. I've had it for awhile but just tried one of the recipes recently, and I loved it. Her recipes uses cornstarch instead of eggs, plus a few other tricks, and the recipe I made was REALLY good - perfect texture for scooping, and really tasty. Her recipes veer a little more towards the unusual, but there are some classics in there also and some sorbets, frozen yogurts, etc.
