Strawberry & Basil Ice Cream
I was hosting an impromptu dinner party this evening and someone else had promised to bring dessert. I tend to make a lot of strawberry ice cream this time of year, but wasn’t planning on cranking today. When the promised dessert did not materialise I somehow ended up telling my five guests about the joys […]

Pumpkin ice cream
I was first inspired to have a go at making this ice cream when I went to my local food market and saw the most fantastic display of squashes and pumpkins. It was like something out of a harvest festival – all the colours of the rainbow and textures from as smooth as a babies bottom to […]

Rooibos and honey ice cream
After some elegant shipping arrangements the ice cream maker so kindly procured for me by the triple motion crew (see last post for detailed thanks) has finally made it to South Africa. Yippee! However, in order to get it here within my luggage allowance I had to co-opt some help in the form of my good […]

Apple Ice Cream with Walnut Scones
The apple & cinnamon ice cream-scone combination: Â truly a winner. It was inspired by and amazing icecream experience I had in Italy with chocolate gelato in a brioche bun. Peter and I first tried it out when we made icecream for the great and good of the the UK documentary film community at the Sheffield […]

Heretic litchi and lime sorbet
Charline, a friend of Céline’s, had planned a big party in her new flat on the 14th of February, partly to dance like crazy but also to relieve people from this indigestible tradition that is called Valentine’s Day. Charline is a connoisseur, she offered me a recipe book about ice cream (containing an interesting Calisson […]

Chocolate Ice Cream for the kiddies
We recently made a batch of Chocolate Gelato that was to be served to a 12-year-old girl. Knowing that the young ones among us are often less keen on super dark chocolate I reduced the cocoa powder to just 1/4 cup, hoping that would please her. Unfortunately it was still “too chocolatey and not creamy […]

Whisky & Honey Ice Cream
Update: Click here for the updated Whisky and Honey Ice Cream recipe. While I insist to not have favourites, this recipe is certainly high on my list. So when my dad sent me a new one-gallon White Mountain freezer for my birthday, I knew how I had to inaugurate the new machine. We first made […]

Peanut Butter Ice Cream
The goal of the perfect nut ice cream often seems elusive. Despite various efforts we do not seem to have technology capable of grinding nuts to the creamy texture we desire. Fortunately there is no shortage of smooth and creamy peanut butter available and we were able to make a fabulously rich ice cream. It’s […]

Strawberry Sorbet
My normal feeling is that strawberries are best suited to ice cream and raspberries are best suited to sorbet. But sometimes, especially on hot days, it’s nice to make a sweet and refreshing strawberry sorbet. I first made this Strawberry Sorbet by request for a friend’s birthday. It’s a simple recipe: It was delicious, not […]

Lime and Basil Sorbet
Today is Boxing Day, so it’s a good excuse to sit back, relax, and reminisce about ice cream and sorbet flavours from the past year. Naturally a few slipped through the net on Triple Motion, so I’ll do my best to start catching up. We made Lime and Basil Sorbet many months ago, and it […]
