A few months ago when some of us in the Milk Bar Monday group heard our friend Krissy was pregnant, we decided to plan a little virtual baby shower for her.
Since Krissy is having a boy and her husband is a baseball player we all tried to find some cute ways to incorporate those things.
I went with blueberries. And yes, I know blueberries are not exactly blue but I think you get the idea.
A few weeks ago (when I made this ice cream) the 2 lb carton of strawberries were buy one get one free at my local grocery store. Since strawberries are one of our favorites, I stocked up.
We ended up eating quite a few and I froze some for smoothies, but the rest were bound to be ice cream.
Ice cream was in fact my original plan. But this frozen yogurt seemed easier and quicker. Plus, I had a few strawberry yogurts to use up.
This frozen yogurt recipe is one of my new favorites. I imagine you could make almost any fruit flavored frozen yogurt with this recipe.
Today Holiday Recipe Club is celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubliee.
The required ingredients were tea, jam or Worcestershire sauce.
As you can see, I ended up going the tea route. But I was very tempted to do a homemade jam.
This chai ice cream was inspired by a black currant tea ice cream recipe in my favorite ice cream book, The Perfect Scoop.
Welcome to another love bloghop! This month we are making ice cream.
As i’ve said before, David Lebovitz’s The Perfect Scoop is one of my favorite cookbooks and I never pass up a chance to use it.
His recipe for gianduja gelato has been one my list of things to make. Hazelnut and chocolate combinations are a weakness for me.
I haven’t had a chance to try real gianduja but I figured gelato couldn’t be a bad substitution.
David’s recipe calls for infusing hazelnuts in milk then using the milk in your ice cream base. Instead of doing that I decided to just use this wonderful creation called hazelnut paste.
Have you had hazelnut paste? It’s like a deliciously sweet nut butter. Perfect for ice cream. Want to try your own hazelnut paste? Check out more information here!
The final result was similar to Ferrero Rocher chocolates or nutella… Silky, sweet with an underlying nutty flavor.
Note: these bowls are perfect for storing things. The liquidy ice cream base didn’t leak at all! I have been using them for everything lately. [Read more...]
I have been wanting to try this recipe since I saw a link to it on Facebook about a month ago.
The title watermelon mojito pops was immediately intriguing. I figured, not much could go wrong with all of those things in one!
Lucky for me this holiday recipe club hop, in honor of Memorial Day, included watermelon as one of the ingredients.
The other choices were pork & beer. Interested in joining us? Sign up here!
As I was saying, one of the ingredients was watermelon.
Many say it’s still too early for watermelon but I beg to differ. Down here in South Carolina I found one of the best watermelons I’ve had in a long time.
Super sweet, juicy, and still crunchy. I hate when the watermelon is tasty but starting to get mushy…
These pops include all the flavors you would want on a hot summer day. Watermelon, mint, lime and coconut rum! [Read more...]
