Ice cream!!!

[ecodork]

I just made some really tasty ice cream - vanilla base with cherries and semi-sweet chocolate shavings. It's suppose to be dessert for a dinner party we're having on Wednesday, but it's going to be hard to resist eating it all up!

What are some of your favorite ice cream flavors?

[witchypoo]

it is not uncommon for me to bake two pies, eat one, and cut the other into chunks and freeze it.

once the chunks are frozen, i add them to the ice cream maker with vanilla base.

fave flavors are apple, peach, blueberry, or straw-rhubarb.

My grandma used to make ice cream with boysenberries from her patch and peaches from her tree.  (not together)  Holy yum!

Incidentally, July is National Ice Cream Month.  Kenyan and I went to the local scoop shop to celebrate.  He had bubble gum, I had moose tracks.

lavender & honey might be my all-time favourite

as far as sorbets go though, cherry & lemon

I had lemon dill at one of our favorite local places the other day- it was yummy!

Hello to you, too!

I like the pie idea, witchy!

My usual fruit-based ice creams are strawberry or peach, although I did make mango one time. We had a lot of Thin Mint ice cream this spring, but the girl scout cookies are all gone now.

I'm totally intrigued by the lavender & honey idea! I haven't tried to make sorbets yet, but maybe that's next on the list.

Huh. I have a hard time imagining dill in a sweet item. Glad to hear it was tasty!

I adore dill,so it wasn't much of a stretch for me!!!

I dislike dill immensely so it doesn't sound good to me, but does sound interesting.

My favorite flavors are salted caramel and pumpkin.  I love it when pumpkin season arrives.

mr. 'poo makes a delicious black pepper ice cream.

Tahini (or sesame honey) but I only get it when I can go to my friend's house and make it.

Like halvah soft serve for anyone who has had it in Israel.

sounds good but uber fattening, teetime

my sister made a fabulous peach rosemary ice cream a couple of years ago.

Hmmm. 

I've had pineapple basil sorbet.  That was good.

Stawberry frozen yogurt.
Over a toasted waffle.
Under some chocolate sauce.

I haven't had it in a month. I'm on a sugar fast.

Hmm, we have some leftover waffles in the freezer. Might have to try this soon!

last year or the year before I made a thyme-buttermilk sorbet that was very nice... I should do it again.

Some great ideas here! I think I'm going to have to break out the ice cream maker this weekend... I had a cucumber sorbet a few weeks ago that was amazing.

Homemade my favorites were:

Light chocolate base, a raspberry coulis with chambord, brownie chunks.
Vanilla base, apple pie filling, streusel.
Pumpkin with streusel.
Vanilla base with Marula cream liqueur added.

I would bake the streusel on a cookie  sheet and then freeze.
