Strawberry Sorbet is a delicious way to use up cheap or excess strawberries. In fact, most fruits make a tasty sorbet. I've made strawberry, raspberry, mango, lemon, lime, pineapple...the list goes on! I find it doesn't last all that well so it's best to eat it with in a couple of days...not that we have any trouble with that! Strawberry Sorbet makes approx 1L 3/4 cup ...
Ice Cream/Sorbet
My Colette Sorbetto Muslin
I've had the Sorbetto on my 'To Sew' list for ages. It's a free pattern with nice simple lines and only two pattern pieces. Ros and I have talked about making it and she's even made some up. With Selfish Sewing Week coming up, I wanted to get the fit spot on so that I can whip up a few. First, I took my bust measurement and according to that I should make up a size 6...So a ...
Snickers Ice Cream
I've always wondered why anyone would buy a Mars Bar when a Snickers is soooo much better. Unless of course you are allergic to nuts. Anyway... peanuts, caramel and chocolate make a great flavour combination for Ice Cream, not just chocolate bars. Here's my recipe for Snickers in Ice Cream form! It's a pimped-up version of my Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Oreo Chunks This ...
Cherry Frozen Yogurt
I have had this recipe book-marked for a very long time, I'm guessing about 5 years, so it was about time I actually made it! This is based on the recipe for Coconut Pinkcherry Yogurt from Smitten Kitchen. The only thing I've really changed is to use Coconut Cream instead of Coconut Milk because I didn't have any on hand. It doesn't really add any coconut flavour just a ...
Valentine’s Day Sundae
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I suspect this applies to a lot of girls too...it certainly does for me! Hubby and I both have a huge sweet tooth and for Valentine's Day we decided to make up our own little sundaes.You won't find anything fancy on this blog for Valentine's Day. No heart shaped macarons or 10 layer pink ombre cakes...just something ...
Strawberry Sauce for Free!
This syrup is great for using up strawberries that aren't quite up to eating standard. You know, those ones you bought and then forgot about? You can also collect the tops you cut off (leaves included) and make the sauce from them. My sister in law said this was the best thing she's ever eaten! Pretty delicious for food scraps. If you don't have the lemon juice handy, don't ...
Gingerbread Ice Cream
What could be better for a Southern Hemisphere Christmas dessert than gingerbread ice cream? This tastes just like gingerbread and you don't need to turn the oven on to make it. Christmas Day is forecast to be quite hot here in Melbourne, so we will be having this as a light and cooling dessert. Gingerbread Ice Cream makes 1.5 litres* 2 eggs 2/3 cup (150g) packed brown ...
Rocky Road Ice Cream
The hubby was really sweet and let me have the whole day to myself yesterday. I went and had a facial, walked through some boutique stores that I dare not enter with a pram and went to a girlfriend's place for dinner. To say thank you, I made my lovely hubby a batch of Rocky Road Ice Cream. He loves everything in it, so I knew it would be a hit.If you're not into making ...
Peanut butter Ice Cream with Oreo chunks
Living in the UK for a year and then holidaying in America meant we've eaten more than our fair share of Ben & Jerry's in the past year. Now that we're back in Australia, it is much harder to come by, costs way to much when you can find it and the flavour selection just isn't there. I understand it's not all that cost effective to ship ice cream to the other side of the ...
Black Pepper and Vanilla Ice Cream
Now that we have a second freezer, I finally have the space to keep the bowl from my ice-cream maker chilled and at the ready. I have had my eye on this recipe since I first spotted it in David Lebovitz's 'The Perfect Scoop' and finally got the chance to make it. I added the vanilla bean just because I had a few lying around, and I love the result. The pepper gives this ...
