Lookit what I found. I was looking at the ingredients in the Ben
and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar crunch ice cream and I noticed Guar
Gum..

That got me to thinking,,,,why do they put that stuff in ice creams,
so I started googling around.

Here's what I found.

That's how they make the ice cream really smooth and silky. This is
a great article and
I plan on using some xanthan gum in the batch I'm making.

I have xanthan gum cause I bought stuff for gluten free baking and it
is used there.
