Fire on, old chap.
I already, fairly impressively and succinctly, highlighted why not...
You followed through didn't you . I can see you are trying to tell me but cant quite find the words .

ICES - The definitive guide by Caroline Liddell and Robin Weir is a great book if you want to make ice cream.
Chocolate and rosemary is my favourite, although my wife's always complaining I don't make as much ice cream as I did before we got married, when I was wooing her...
Chicks dig a guy who can make ice cream

Yes I've used an ice cream maker and done it by hand. Various different flavours, the kids fav was a cookie dough one, mine would be either an Amaretto one (don't have problems with it setting too hard for some reason
), strawberry or a lemon one. I haven't made any in ages.
A friend made Brussel sprouts flavour once as a joke and I don't recommend it!

That sounds good. How do you get the rosemary flavour in?

My peanut butter ice cream is legendary. And I only made it once. Sort of made it up as I went along, so wouldn't be able to recreate it again I suspect. Probably just as well.

You make a chocolate custard and just add a sprig of rosemary to infuse while it cools in the fridge, then fish it out again before you add the cream and freeze.
Strawberry and balsamic vinegar is also a winning combination

Well you say that but when we were kids in the 70s my Mum used to make an incredibly cheap ice cream involving whipped evaporated milk. Not sure what else was in it but we hardly ever had bought ice-cream because of the expense (we weren't exactly poor but there was no spare money at all) and we absolutely loved it. It used to come out of the tiny freezer compartment of our fridge rock-hard and we would sort of slice it out of its tray (she used the ice-cube tray with the squares taken out). Quite often it had separated because she'd over- or under-whipped it or something so the bottom layer was heavier, but hey, it was ICE-CREAM!!! YAY!!!! Our requirements were merely that it was cold and sweet.
I feel quite nostalgic now, might ask her for the recipe so I can goggle at it. Those were the days.

Not sure what you think the problem would be. If you are making a custard based icecream, there is no more risk of illness than in pouring the same custard hot over a pie.
Stop prevaricating and get on with it.

Kenwood Chef ice cream attachment here. Regular last year was strawberry,fresh English strawberries and double cream. Best just after churning when it's sort of soft scoop, not as nice once it's been hard frozen.
Tried vanilla a couple of times but not got the custard making right yet, ending up with scrambled egg flavour....which is quite nasty.

Use an ice cream maker.
Home made strawberry ice cream tastes nothing like the horrid bought stuff.
Make chocolate ice cream and at the last minute, crumble in a chocolate muffin.
I've also done the ice and salt method with my class at school. You put crushed ice and salt in a zip lock bag. Put milk and sugar into another zip lock bag. Put the second bag inside the first one. Pass the whole lot around the class for about 15 minutes so each kid has a good old squeeze. Open the inside bag, give each kid a plastic spoon and stand back!
