My husband eats his first spoon of this ice cream. “Mmm… oh, that’s good.” Eats another spoonful. “Seriously, this is good stuff.” Yet another spoonful disappears. “This is the best ice cream you’ve ever made.” Yes, even this Baking Beauty has a way of still surprising her husband after 13 years of marriage. This ice cream is a prime example of that. And he was right. This ice cream is nothing like any of the others I’ve ever made. This ice cream is super rich, smooth & silky, even after being in the freezer for a week (how did that … Continue reading →

I haven’t used my ice cream maker nearly enough this summer. And the cooler evenings, (slowly) ripening garden, increase in flies trying to get into the house, and long, lanky plants tells me that fall is just around the corner here. So, I figured if I wanted to use the ice cream maker before it was too chilly outside to enjoy what I made without a sweater, I’d better act fast. I had quite a big piece of watermelon sitting in the fridge that needed to be used up, and I thought, perfect! Sorbet it is! To add some more … Continue reading →

Wow, what a warm summer we’re having this year. I’m not complaining though, just enjoying it. Last summer we didn’t really have warm weather to enjoy until September, when the kids were back in school. This year, we’ve been finding ways to stay cool, and enjoying the warmth that this summer has to offer. The kids have been splashing in the pool & playing on the slip & slide a lot more this summer, which is nice. One of the treats we’ve enjoyed this summer is this Sour Cream Ice Cream that my Mom made when we went for a … Continue reading →

Well, as you may be able to guess from my absence, the weather here has really improved! We are finally in the full swing of summer, and it is GREAT! Today is the last full day of school for our daughter, and on Monday they only have 1 hour for a short program and to receive their report cards. I am SO ready for summer holidays! Bring it on! I still have more rhubarb that I’m using up. I saw this recipe for Rhubarb Crisp Ice Cream, and knew I wanted to try it. We are so glad that I … Continue reading →

Yes, folks…pumpkin ice cream! I’ve never seen this available in the store, but it would really make a great seasonal ice cream, I think. This ice cream tastes just like pumpkin pie, with the wonderful taste of pumpkin, and the great blend of spices. With the heavy cream & egg yolks, it makes a really great ice cream base, very smooth. I thought the pumpkin puree might cause a bit of an ice crystal texture, but there was no such thing. Simply delicious! And how does this go together with the GF Gingersnap cookies that I posted yesterday? They are … Continue reading →

This sorbet tastes just like the drink, with a wonderful lime & mint flavour to it. We really enjoyed this, and will definitely make it again.    

Quick, before it is officially fall, you HAVE to try this recipe for Butter Pecan ice cream. OK, you can try it in fall too, that still works. Just because it isn’t the hot, humid days of summer anymore, doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy some good, homemade ice cream every now and then. This ice cream is fantastic on it’s own, but it is also great topping off cake, pie, crisps, and baked apples. So, the perfect topper for all those wonderful baked goodies that fall lets us create.     This cone’s for you!

Summer isn’t gone yet! At least I haven’t posted all my summertime recipes yet, so the season can’t be done yet. This sorbet was simple to make, had only a few ingredients, but tasted fantastic! Definitely a welcomed treat.
