Am I remembering correctly that you mentioned making gin ice cream? I just infused some vodka to make gin, so I have all the herbs and spices to do it, and I was wondering how yours turned out...

Honestly, it wasn’t that great. It was certainly edible, but even when dunked in some tonic, I felt like it wasn’t much more than a novelty item. Your view might depend on how much you like gin/juniper.
That being said, I think the problem was the bitterness the juniper berries imparted. I steeped the berries in the cream for a very very very long time. Maybe blanching them first like they were spinach or tea might have taken some of the bitterness out.
