I scream, You Scream

My late summer acquisition of an ice cream maker has been much fun indeed. Experimenting with recipes has resulted in a number of yummy frozen treats. Not only did summer gathering invites increase, but being the trendsetter that I am, two local families purchased ice cream makers within days of sampling homemade ice cream.

Among the attempted delights:

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Green Tea Gelato
Coconut Ice Cream
Mango Sherbert
Mango Ripple Ice Cream
Coffee Brownie Ice Cream
Peanut Butter Ice Cream w/ Peanut Butter Oreos
Avocado Coconut Ice Cream
Old Fashion Vanilla
Watermelon Frozen Yogurt
PiƱa Colada Sherbet
Passion Fruit Ice Cream

Temptations to come: mint chocolate chip, chocolate with mint chips, apple cider ice cream, tiramisu, blueberry cheesecake, banana, and cinnamon spice

Suggestions?

My requests are cinnamon spice and tiramisu -- oh oh oh, and can you replicate Baskin Robbins' Caramel Ribbon???

Well, I don't know about that, especially since I've never had it before, however, we can go to Baskin Robbins.

Have you ever seen the Far Side comic titled "Failed Marketing Ploys"? It's this ice-cream truck, selling another product, and the speakers are announcing:

"I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asparagus!!"

i want to see more sorbet/sherbet ideas because i can't really enjoy all the dairy-based concoctions. can you take any of the ice cream ideas and make non-dairy versions?

Kara said...

asparagus! ha - no i haven't seen that one. nice.

sarah - nondairy versions of some, you betcha. my hang-up with sherbets and sorbets is that they tend to be so dang sweet, but i suppose the trade-off with ice creams and gelato is the fat content of the milk and cream.
