Ice cream fail: How to make ice cream that will cause you diabetes

I was flipping through an old issue of a supposedly authoritative food magazine and got the shock of my life.

There was a little feature about making ice cream at home and this was one of the recipes they provided: To make 1 litre of Basil Ice Cream, you need 500g of sugar!

This means that half of the total weight of ice cream is actually made out of sugar!

No doubt you will get an ice cream with a super smooth texture because there is a lot of sugar used (Remember: More sugar used, the smoother the texture). But I don't know how is it possible to consume an ice cream that is this sweet. And I can't imagine how it is even possible to taste the basil.

Eating this will make you sick. Epic fail. Period.
