I love white chocolate. You could put it on a boot and I would eat it. That being said - this ice cream had a weird aftertaste - almost like a powder. I think that it had more to do with the white chocolate I used (Nestle morsels) then this recipe. Good ice cream - but next time I will use a different brand of white chocolate.

Loved this. I didn't detect an aftertaste, but I did let it ripen a lot before trying it. I must confess that I THOUGHT I had plenty of white chocolate, but I only had 9 oz!! Sooo....I had to use 3 oz dark chocolate to round out the ingredients. I'm still reviewing this because I can talk about the texture, which was superb--almost fluffy!--and also about the flavor...after all, I used 3/4 white chocolate! Wonderful, and thank you. When I use 100% white chocolate I'll post a picture!
