Best Lick! Ice Cream Contest 2008: Contest Update

26 entries later... Ice Cream Month and our Best Lick! 2008 contest were quite a blast.

We had even more entries than expected, so we'll leave voting open on the last several entries for a couple more days. (Each entry gets three days of reader voting.) That means it will all wrap up this weekend and then we'll have winners! Until then, click through to see all of the entries.

There's some terrific inspiration here for late summer ice cream. How about a batch or two for Labor Day? Browse all the recipes and thumbnails below and click through to vote on the last few entries.

Thank you to everyone who entered; it was so inspiring to see all your hard work and good ideas!

Happy churning, and good luck to the entrants!

There is no way to see the Creamy Espresso Crunch since it seems to be linked to the Mango Chili Recipe.
Not fair.

Thought this contest was over on Sunday, but the last few still seem to be open for voting! seems like a bit of an unfair advantage...

Thanks for the note Yellow33. All voting stayed open until late each day. We checked the numbers Sunday and early this morning when we closed the voting, and given the winners there appears to be no significant effect.

Check back this afternoon for the (runaway!!!) winners.
