Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream

Saturday night, after a full day of hard work and chores, I made the first batch of homemade ice cream for the season.  Blackberry Rosewater Ice Cream.  It’s as dreamy as it sounds.  I’ve teamed up with Becky this month again and our theme was Flowers.  She chose orange blossom water.  Be sure to check out her Orange Blossom and Honey Candied Popcorn. I churned the ice cream early Sunday morning and then after church […]

White Chocolate-Rose Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl

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 of chocolate I bought on a whim.  It just looked good to me.  I was out with my kindred spirit, […]

Caramel Hazelnut Gelato {Labor Day Ice Cream Social}

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, I said to myself, “This tastes like comfort.” But why did it taste like comfort? I couldn’t quite put my […]

Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Homemade Tutti Frutti Ice Cream Recipe

tutti frutti ice cream

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 their children still live on the same block in Salt Lake City.  I loved visiting there when I was a […]

Buttermilk Ice Cream with Poached Cherries

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.  Just as good, though I’ve included the wine in the recipe below because you might just want to try it. […]

This recipe is a gem that […]

Creme Brulee Ice Cream

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 caramelizing sugar and pouring it onto a silpat-lined baking sheet, then breaking the hard caramel into shards to stick into […]

Honey and Stone Fruit Ice Cream

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, Baking:  From My Home To Yours, I took one from The Martha. Martha steeps the pits and peels in the […]

S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches

{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 chocolate sauce.  What’s not to love? Coming up with the final recipe was a labor of love.  Over the period […]

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 doing that. Thankfully, we can get NJ blueberries here in Utah. Blueberries don’t seem to grow very well here, though […]
