Thanks for that tip.  I mixed up a batch of Dorie's vanilla ice cream, a Philly-style, so maybe comparing to the Perfect Scoop custard version would be fun. 

I actually think TJ's vanilla ice cream is pretty good and wasn't going to try making one but, like with your cherry sorbet, it's often the perfect companion to another ice cream or sorbet.  I guess that means I should pick up some TJ's so I can do a three-way comparison 🤣

 

Yes, no way around it, you've got to go for the 3-way comparison!  :)  I'll look forward to your results & thoughts, if you do it.  I really love haagen dazs vanilla too, but it is getting pretty pricey and I am hoping to get the hang of custard bases to feel confident branching out into more interesting flavors (family very interested in cinnamon, and butterscotch). 

 

I am also really interested in something ginger, based on your  (@blue_dolphin's) ginger fro-yo, particularly with the crystallized ginger bits!  I was so inspired I bought a whole bag of crystallized ginger, but haven't yet had the free pints to get it going.  Will need to decide btn ice cream and fro-yo.
