Balsamic Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream

This was the first recipe that caught my eye in this book. It just sounded so odd - mixing balsamic vinegar with ice cream! I bought the ingredients (and using Breyers ice cream). Unfortunately, the oreos mostly "evaporated" before I had time to put it together, so I scaled back the recipe and made two different small batches. In one, I made it as suggested, and for the other, I tried gingersnaps as the mix-in. Both were amazing, but I think I liked the tiny zings of chocolate from the oreos (original recipe) more than my variation using gingersnaps.

This recipe will be made again - but next time I will do a better job hiding the cookies beforehand!
