{This was originally a guest post I did for Spark last summer. I couldn’t resist re-posting it over here. Summer is coming, and this is a fabulous, if labor intensive, dessert to usher in the hot weather, long days, and all things fun.} Homemade marshmallows turned into homemade ice cream, homemade graham crackers, and homemade […]
Blueberry Lavender Ice Cream
{This is from the archives with newly edited pics. Perfect for Spring and Summer, don’t you think?} I miss the blueberries we picked on the East Coast. It was so magical for my little girl to run through the bushes and pick off the sweet blue globes and drop them into her bucket. She loved […]
Indian Spiced Pear Honey Sorbet
I had a busy weekend. Do you ever have those weekends where you’re glad to see Monday come? Nah, me either. I’m never glad to see Monday come. :) My birthday is tomorrow. I will turn 31. This year I am feeling much better about getting older than when I stared 30 in the face […]
Dairy-Free Meyer Lemon Curd Ice Cream
Meyer lemons. Have you tried them yet? I keep seeing them for sale. I think no one in my community knows how fabulous they are. Even yesterday there were dozens of bags just waiting to be taken home and turned into a lovely lemon curd or ice cream, or both. Man. It’s already March 7th! […]
Minted Grapefruit Sorbet
Friends, this stuff is it. My husband, bless his disbelieving heart, raised his eyebrows at the thought of this Minted Grapefruit Sorbet. I’m sure he was thinking (or maybe it’s because he’s said this before), “Why can’t we just eat the fruit? Why does everything have to be turned into ice cream?” My answer is […]
Peach Almond Praline Ice Cream Bombe
It’s funny how I forget each year just how good a juicy peach tastes. This summer I haven’t been able to get enough. I made pie. I made sherbet. Chicken with peaches and ginger. But mostly I’ve been peeling them and eating them over the kitchen sink. Even my little girl (who has been dressing […]
Refreshing Blood Orange Sherbet
This blood orange sherbet is easy to make and incredibly refreshing to eat. I’ve lost count of how many sherbet recipes I’ve adapted from the original Cooks’ Illustrated sherbet recipe. It’s such a great recipe. I hope you enjoyed Friday’s Cantaloupe recipe from Amanda. My husband was drooling over it. I actually made this sherbet back […]
Cantaloupe Sherbet by Guest Amanda Waddell
I love connecting with readers. Amanda left a comment a few weeks ago about adapting a recipe for sherbet using cantaloupe. I asked her if she’d share her lovely picture and recipe with you. Yay! She agreed. Thanks, Amanda! This sherbet, adapted from Lindsey’s Strawberry Sherbet recipe, practically screams summer. Delicately flavored, it turned out […]
Kitchen Q&A: Custard Base For Ice Cream
Wonderful Ingrid left a comment asking the following question regarding ice cream: Lindsey, I have a question…when making the custard do you remove it from the heat as soon as it hits 160 or after it hits 160, coats the back of a spoon, AND you can leave a trail? I know this can be […]
Bananas Foster Ice Cream
Bananas have always been on my list of “Love-Hates.” I love them. I hate them. I love them. Nah…I hate them. And so on. It started when I was a little preschool girl some 25+ years ago. My preschool teacher made us healthy banana shakes. She made me drink a glass of it. I don’t […]
