Sour cream ice cream sounds a little funky for most. Don't judge an ice cream by its contents. This creamy ice cream gets a lovely tang from both the lemon juice and the sour cream. It plays very well with the sweet richness of the Black Cherry Balsamic. You can thank me later. ~ Chef Steffani Adaska

Chef's Notes
Chef's Note: Do not evaporate too much of the balsamic, otherwise you will end up with an almost "hard candy" clump when it cools.
Chill the base overnight before churning. A thoroughly cold mixture freezes faster and gives you a smoother, creamier scoop.
This is one of those quietly perfect little recipes — warm fig compote spooned over cool Greek yogurt, with cinnamon-toasted walnuts and oats for crunch. It is a protein-packed breakfast that feels like dessert, and it comes together in about fifteen minutes.
This cheesecake is everything you want from a cold-weather dessert — dense yet creamy, fluffy and silky at once, crowned with warm spiced pears in a glossy balsamic glaze. It celebrates autumn and winter flavors but, in our experience, gets requested year-round.
This is the appetizer that quietly steals the party — grilled bread, cloud-soft whipped ricotta, cool heirloom tomatoes, and a dark, glossy balsamic reduction over the top. It is savory and sweet and fresh all at once, with a satisfying crunch, and it comes together faster than you would think.
