  • Strawberry Swirl Buttermilk Ice Cream

    strawberry swirlHands down, this is probably one of the more interesting ice creams I’ve had recently. The buttermilk flavour in the cream makes so much more nuanced than what it looks like.

    It actually looked kind of bland and boring in the ice cream maker. Then I took a spoon and tasted. The tartness combined with the creaminess is superb.

    My swirls were less impressive than in the original, but it still tasted very good.

    The original recipe here also used candied pink peppercorns, but I omitted those purely because I didn’t have them.

  • Taste

    I am grateful for my sense of taste because it means that I can buy a basket of Norwegian strawberries, take a bite and be transported back to my childhood.

    Sitting on the steps to my grandmother’s garden in the south of Norway and eating the same brand of strawberries with my dad.

    Even if I’m closing in on 30, and it is at least 24 years ago.

  • Strawberry Frozen Yogurt

    strawberry frozen yogurtWhat can I say but the fact that there were Norwegian strawberries for sale outside the mall? I know several people who refuse to eat any kind of strawberries but the Norwegian kind.  We’re kind of nationalistic about our strawberries, and since we have such crappy weather for most of the year, we also tend to build them up in our minds to something mythical.

    Anyway, strawberries for sale. Greek yogurt in my fridge. This seemed like the appropriate time to make strawberry frozen yogurt.

    I used  Pink Parsley’s: Strawberry Frozen Yogurt recipe. Adapted slightly though, because I didn’t have any vodka. I had rum, so I went with that.

    It is insane how much the strawberry flavour comes through in this. It was actually to the point where my mother questioned if I had really put any dairy in at all.

    The perfect summer ice cream.
