Escamoles (Ant Larvae) Ice Cream
Last weekend my friend Andreas Johnsen premiered his new documentary BUGS at the Tribeca Film Festival. I was planning an ice cream social for the same day and my friend Aaron suggested we make bugs ice cream in honor of Andreas’s film. I talked with Andreas and he was excited by the idea, so he arranged for his […]

Concrete & Rust Ice Cream at Dismaland
Big D, Foad and I were planning a bicycle tour in England a couple weeks ago, and I suggested we try and stop by Dismaland – Banksy’s “bemusement park”, a delightful place that combines satirical “fun” rides with an art exhibition. We invaded Dismaland and hand-cranked a batch of the most appropriate ice cream we […]

Frozen Bellinis РPeach Sorbet in Sparkling Ros̩ at Festival de Cannes
As you might have guessed by the relative quiet on Triple Motion over the last few months, we’re not always just making ice cream and sorbet. I’m also involved in filmmaking.

Maple Syrup and Rum Ice Cream
In celebration of Cheryl’s 30th birthday, I hauled my trusty half-gallon White Mountain freezer down to Brighton on the overnight MegaBus (10 hours of sheer pain!). Despite my sore back and neck, we were determined to make the effort worthwhile and decided to crank a simple batch of Maple Syrup Ice Cream. Cheryl’s friend had […]

Green Tea Ice Cream for Ben’s leaving party
I love green tea ice cream. I think the first time I tasted it was with my brother at a Japanese restaurant in New York more than a decade ago. I still think that some of the best green tea ice cream I’ve had is in New York, at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, a must-stop […]

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in the new White Mountain Junior!
This year for my birthday I received a wonderfully big surprise in a very small package. Turns out that Big D, my dad, and Thibault conspired to find the world’s smallest White Mountain Freezer and sent it for my birthday. After the usual debacle with Parcel Farce, I received the newest edition to our White […]

Chocolate & Chile Sorbet for the annual Mexican Party
We are big fans of Chocolate & Chile here and saw the opportunity to take our recipes to a new level for our annual Mexican party at John’s house. Lately I have been championing Chocolate Sorbet as the new pinnacle of chocolatey frozenness. It is the dark chocolate of the ice cream world, with an […]
