Cooks' Note

Instead of a whisk, use a hand blender to mix the ice cream base.

*Powdered gelatin can be substituted for the sheet gelatin: use 3/4 teaspoon. In a pinch, substitute 75 g (1/4 cup) corn syrup for the glucose.

*This recipe uses cream cheese to give an even creamier texture and mouth feel to the ice cream; it works well because the malty pretzel flavor overpowers the flavor of the cream cheese.
