  1. I have never made a cooked ice-cream batter before, and this was a wonderful introductory recipe. Follow the instructions and don't worry too much about variations like not thick enough (mine was very runny) or poor incorporation of egg whites because these things will work themselves out it the freezing process. I don't know that anyone who is not a fan of KH would seek out this recipe, but they should. This is a perfect cold treat for a hot day. I used 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and it created the perfect salty-sweet taste - *exactly* what I was hoping for! Works well in popsicle molds, too (for the truly authentic KH experience :)
     
  2. Awesome! I've always wanted to try this! Luckily, I own an icecream maker, though it hasn't been used in a while. The recipes that came with it all involved ice... Thus, it always came out gritty and not very good. Actually having a creamy mixture rather than a liquid one REALLY helps! Thanks for sharing this! LOVE KH!
     
  3. this is so awesome im such a huge fan of kingdom hearts and my friends will freak out when i tell them i had sea salt ice cream thank u soo much!!!!
     
  4. I loved making this! I don't have an ice cream mixer so it was a bit of a pain to keep checking up on it, but it turned out great! My friends and I found a clock tower and took out pops out on a picnic. It's the perfect treat for a hot summer day before everyone goes back to school.
     
  5. This recipe was wonderful! I wound up using 1/2 tsp of sea salt and that was the perfect amount. I also didn't use green food coloring, as the yellow of the custard helped to turn it the perfect color. Great recipe!

Tweaks

  1. Don't put the custard mixture over medium heat to thicken. You'll risk boiling it unintentionally, especially if you use an electric stove like myself. Put it over low heat instead. It may take a little longer, but you won't boil the mixture and end up with bits of scrambled egg in your base.

  3. Teaspoon of Sea Salt, Low heat on "Don't Boil" part.
