One reaction to this was: It tastes much better than the cookies & cream ice cream you can buy in store. Which, honestly, is the chief point of making ice cream from scratch. I used the recipe from Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones: 90 Recipes for Making Your Own Ice Cream and Frozen Treats from… Continue reading Cookies & Cream

Star anise ice cream
There is something utterly fascinating about the thought of anise or liquorice ice cream. The basic bitter, instead of very sweet, ice cream leads to a disconcerting flavour profile in your mouth. I saw this recipe first at Klikk.no. I adapted it slightly, but if I ever make it again, I will up the amount… Continue reading Star anise ice cream
Lemon-Buttermilk Sorbet
This Lemon-Buttermilk Sorbet Recipe from Yumsugar is super easy, and really refreshing on a hot day. We didn’t have as much lemon as was directed in the recipe, so we added in some lime instead. It worked fine.
Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream
It’s almost May 17 – the day when Norwegian kids get to eat as much ice cream as they’d like. I made this ice cream from David Lebovitz’ site: Salted Butter Caramel Ice cream. My changes: I didn’t make the praline for mix-in. For a while I thought I might have burnt the caramel too… Continue reading Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream
Homemade vanilla ice cream
For New Year’s Eve 2013 we had planned on making a luscious chocolate pudding dump cake and pairing it with vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream got made, but when the time came to make the chocolate pudding dump cake, a couple of hours before midnight, we were all so full that we couldn’t… Continue reading Homemade vanilla ice cream
Burnt clementine ice cream
So, it seems to be time to think about Christmas flavours, what with the Gingerbread ice cream last Friday and now this… I don’t know about abroad, but in Norway, clementines are really big in December. Just the smell of them being peeled is almost enough to put me in a Christmas mood. When I… Continue reading Burnt clementine ice cream
Gingerbread Ice Cream
Gingerbread became a bit controversial in Norway last Christmas. Mainly because it is called pepperkake (i.e. pepper cake) and a lot of the recipes don’t contain pepper. Hence, it is linguistically wrong. We’re a small country. We like to argue about things like this. In English, the ginger is very clear in the recipes, and… Continue reading Gingerbread Ice Cream
Honey and almond ice cream
The whole point of making ice cream at home, to me, is to make flavours that you won’t necessarily find easily in stores. This honey and almond ice cream is one of those. I think that the flavour of this really depend on which type of honey you use. My selection was a mild honey… Continue reading Honey and almond ice cream
Green tea ice cream
This is really a mixture of several different ice creams. I started with this tea ice cream recipe from Norwegian Klikk.no, then I spotted Mac & Cheese’s Earl Grey tea ice cream recipe. And since I was going with green tea, I also found this one by Emeril Lagasse. All of which inspired and made… Continue reading Green tea ice cream
