made another batch of Jeni's brown butter ice cream with butter baked slivered almonds & almond toffee on top. I went and bought a pint of it at the store to compare and while the recipe out of her book is damn good, there is a big difference in taste, almost like marzipan in the store bought and I cant figure out what it is, the label says it has tapioca syrup whereas the recipe in the book calls for white sugar and some corn syrup......

my version is darker too, perhaps I was supposed to strain the caramelized milk solids or I cooked them too long

any ideas what the difference could be?

Here's the recipe ingredients versus the label:

I see cream cheese.

 

Edit:  Jeni does not share her recipes.  She wrote an ice cream book about something vaguely reminiscent.  Dante would consign her to the circle of hell for frozen desserts.
