Blackberry Coconut Sorbet. Three ingredients. No dairy. Little sugar. Pure bliss. And? (Come closer…) No ice cream maker needed. I know. It’s pretty awesome. Coconut milk is my favorite non-dairy milk. It’s such a good substitute for cows milk because it’s still super creamy and rich, but then cows milk doesn’t taste like coconut. And […]
Three days until Turkey Day! I’m hosting my husband’s family this year. They don’t know it yet, but I’m doing a gluten-free menu. I think they’ll love it. I’ve been experimenting with my recipes to get everything just right. The one thing I haven’t decided on yet is dessert. My mother-in-law is bringing a big […]
I like making ice cream. It’s sort of my thing. Sometimes I dream up flavors in the wee hours of the morning, or as I’m trying to fall asleep at night. (Sometimes it’s the same thing.) I like eating ice cream too, so it’s a win-win situation for me. This flavor came from a bar […]
My husband’s cousins had just left my house. We’d had a fabulous day of making ice cream and lunch, and sharing it together. I felt happy. I went to the freezer to pull out the caramel hazelnut gelato so I could have one more tiny little taste. As I licked the spoon and closed my eyes, […]
Let’s talk family reunions and old-fashioned homemade ice cream for a minute. In my mind, you can’t have one without the other. And it is that time of year again for my family. My paternal grandmother grew up on the same block as her grandparents and all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Many of […]
Buttermilk ice cream. Cherries. You want this, I promise you–you do. The ice cream is creamy and tangy and marries perfectly with the sweet cherries. We have poached cherries before in a combination of wine, water and sugar with a vanilla bean. But this time around I left out the wine and added almond extract. […]
Did you know July is National Ice Cream Month in the U.S.? I didn’t! Becky clued me in and I’m glad she did. She and I share a love of making homemade ice cream as often as possible. So…this week, I am posting a bunch of ice cream recipes that I’ve been wanting to share […]
Every so often a dessert comes into your life and you think: This is my favorite. That is how I feel about this ice cream. Years ago I formulated a recipe for Creme Brulee Ice Cream. I remember looking around for the perfect recipe, wanting to put my own twist on it. I ended up […]
This is from my draft folder. Amid many computer problems that last few years, many posts fell by the wayside. Pictures were lost on my other computer, to be found later. You know how it is. What I do remember about this recipe is how glorious it is. Besides taking some cues from Dorie Greenspan’s, […]
Peaches are not in season in Utah, but I am patiently waiting for them to grow and ripen. We had such a beautiful, warm Spring that I’m pretty sure we’ll have early peaches this year. I pulled out my last bag of frozen sliced peaches from last year’s stash and felt a little excitement about […]
