No! the richest custard ice creams that I've seen use 5-6 yolks in
a quart or 2. And don't want to eat with anyone that can eat
1/8th of that cake for dessert.<g>

The reviews are a real help. 2 reviews; 5 star no comment- 3 star-
didn't follow the recipe at all- used store-bought ice cream.

Looking at the 30 yolk recipe, there are some problems. one of the
ingredients is "Cream Cheese" - no amount.
"1 litre of milk
17-18 ounces of cream"

I'm not a big cake eater-- but the idea of this one looks good. If
I was going to make it, though, I'd have to talk to the writer before
I put that much money and effort into it.
