    I always thought making ice cream at home was super complicated and not worth the time and energy. There are so many great ice creams and sorbets in the freezer section, why bother?

    Well, after spending a day with the immensely talented chef Krista Kern Desjarlais of Bresca and the Honeybee at Outlet Beach in New Gloucester, Maine, I learned that making your own ice cream can be pretty simple and straightforward. And you can get wildly innovative and create any flavor you like using the best summer fruit, herbs and flavorings.

    Here are Kern Desjarlais’ recipes for Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Watermelon-Lime Sorbet, and a genius chocolate “shell” to pour over ice cream that calls for only three ingredients. I’ve also included my own variation on the classic custard with a Strawberry Ice Cream that can be made using any fresh summer berry. (You can also add good quality chocolate chips for a Strawberry-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.)

    Find a moderately priced ice cream maker. They range from around $35 up to several hundred. My preference is for the ice cream attachment on my KitchenAid mixer.
