Please consider using arrowroot instead of cornstarch or flour to thicken ice creams. Cornstarch and flour have a raw taste; arrowroot really doesn’t, and thickens at lower temperatures. I mean, really, consider not using a recipe that requires thickening at all (by using non-liquid flavorings, natch), but if you must, sub arrowroot.
