And easy to make, i first ran across it at the California "Gilroy Garlic
Festival" and was a bit dubious till i tried it, now i am a convert,
having always been a garlicophyle (if such a word exists) i bake a
couple of heads of garlic, mash it all up and add it to a gallon or so
of softened vanilla ice cream. Re freeze and then serve.

I often serve it with and avocado sauce, avocado just pureed in a
processor with a bit of lemon juice and s & p. One time i had a jar of
humus and no avocado and tried a bit of the humus on the garlic ice
cream, it was actually rather good.
