nice but overly sweet
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

What is it with American desserts?? The level of sweetness is crazy, almost robotic. It would taste wonderful w/o the syrup.... Hello, O.J. and Pom juice is very tart and sweet, perfect on its own! Sugar is the leading reason for so many health problems...keep that in mind food network!Read more

WOW!! Great Taste

I do not have an Ice cream maker. I just put it in the freezer, then every half hour just stirred it up. Worked great. Served... next to a slice of Key Lime cheese cake and the combination of flavors was off the charts.Read more

super easy with not much cleanup
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The directions here don't say that she made the simple syrup, cooled it slightly and then added the pomegranate juice and the... orange juice directly to the ice cream maker. After that she added the strained mint infused simple syrup. In the last minute she added the chocolate chips and ran the ice cream maker just until the chips were incorporated. This is nicer because you really have one bowl and then the only other thing dirty was the ice cream maker!Read more
