I loved watching the show Great Chefs back in the day and discovered there's a YouTube channel for their old episodes, here's a segment on something I am going to try to replicate from a great restaurant in NYC called Augustine (sadly it died from covid)
Here is what I'm trying to copy:
I just recently found a steal on Facebook and bought a Spaceman Commercial Ice cream and Frozen Beverage machine for $300. The guy's wife wanted it gone asap so I took a chance on it because they cost $5,000 new. The company has phenomenal service located in Colorado and was incredibly helpful in my efforts to fix the machine. Turned out, it only needed about $150 in parts replaced, some cleaning and wallah, I'm making soft serve in my living room all in for around $600 bucks. It'll bang out ice cream in about 5 minutes but what's really dangerous is I can leave it full of mix and have soft serve on command because the machine keeps the mix refrigerated, here she blows;
One of the first ice creams I made was brown butter ice cream and it came out pretty good, I may back off on the butter on the next batch but put as many browned milk solids as I can in the mix and end up with the same taste but with less fat
next step is to attempt the Pain Perdu and serve with the brown butter ice cream I just made
Scratch made Dan Dan noodles tonight. Made a simple noodle dough, rolled and cut it on the stand mixer. Added a spicy peanut-chili sauce ( pb, toasted sesame oil, soy, lime, ginger, sanbal), seasoned ground pork, scallions, sesame seeds, chopped cashews and of course chili crisp. So satisfying.

This is so badass. Please make soft serve custard pistachio. As a kid we had an ice cream place that did soft serve custard. They’d always have vanilla or chocolate. They’d rotate a third flavor. The best rotational flavor was pistachio.

I have no idea. It’s just a childhood memory. As a kid I use to ride my bike to a place that made really good soft serve custard. Pistachio was something they’d only do a couple times a year. In all my years I only had the pistachio two or three times but still dream about it. I remember the ice cream being a buck and worth every penny.
Aqua S is very similar to what I remember, they apparently have a location in Dallas. They have something very similar to what I remember from my childhood. I recommend this place and something similar to what they make is what I would attempt. There sea salt ice cream is great.
This is what I would but you probably have better ideas, so bad as LS that you bought this.
