Eeeeek!
Y’all, there was salad on my blog yesterday. Salad.
What’s a salad doing on a dessert blog? Never fear, dear readers, I have the perfect remedy for this: ice cream! (Well, maybe the perfect remedy would be chocolate mousse pie. But ice cream is a close second. And I promise to work on that pie!)
I finally tried a mint-chocolate chip version of the Volume Ice Cream.
It was just as delicious as I imagined. I’ll try to get the recipe post up next week. In the meantime, I thought I’d highlight a few of the variations I’ve already blogged about. Some of these posts are from over a year ago, so it was really fun for me to see my evolving photo skills!
When I posted this recipe, I actually called it “peanut butter frozen hot cocoa” but the method is the same as that of the volume ice cream.
This one’s from a long time ago, and I probably need to re-visit the recipe. I’m going to work on turning it into a healthy “Starbucks Frappuccino” recipe.
Peanut butter and banana: always a classic. And I think this was one of the first-ever photos I took after learning you’re not supposed to use flash with food photography.
Also known as Frozen Hot Chocolate. Another recipe I need to re-visit. There are just too many!
Ice Cream Notes:
This ice cream—when made with almond milk—has a very light texture (perfect for summer). But if you want a texture that mimics the richness of true ice cream, you can still get that with this recipe. Just use coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can) as your non-dairy milk.
Also, if you don’t have a high-powered blender like a Vita-Mix, you can still make these recipes. They will just be more like a Wendy’s Frosty than ice cream, in terms of texture.
These look amazing! I wish I had a decent blender.
Favorite flavor – butter pecan. Toast some pecans with agave and honey (amazing by themselves) and blend with creamy vanilla. so good!
Katie-you have way too many fabulous recipes! I need a chance to actually try them all 😉 And ice cream is perfect for summer. We grilled peaches last night and one of these recipes would have been perfect to go with it. Darn…..guess we’ll have to do it again 😀
Oh see, I had the ice cream yesterday but was missing the grilled peaches! We so should’ve combined forces!! 🙂
I would love to help you try out recipes but I don’t have a vita-mix and my food processor says specifically to not chop ice! Lol. Any suggestions?
Hmmm… I guess you can thaw it a LOT and get a slushie texture?
My absolute favorite ice cream flavors are Cookie n’ Cream and Rocky Road
so clearly, those are the two you should create 🙂
Hmmm, what about a flavour something like Skor ice cream?
I want to help! What about the Elvis flavored ice cream? PB, honey and banana. YUMMY!
I think you should make one similar to ben and jerry’s cherry garcia! I love a chocolate-cherry combination! [:
P.S.- I adore reading your blog! My sweet tooth is outrageous, and my friends and I loved your snickerdoodle blondies [:
Awwwwwww! Thank you!
I want to try a pistachio flavor! I have been obsessed with pistachio desserts lately. I definitely will try out some flavors when I get home from my vacation. I know I have some coconut milk that needs to be used.
Our local frozen yogurt shop just added Lemon Ice Box Pie to their list of flavors and it is to die for!!! Tastes just like a cold lemon bar – yum!!
Love all these ice cream recipes in ONE POST!!!
And most are chocolate or choc with PB. <—I think that life is just better with those things in heavy rotation 🙂
Flavors I'd love to see…well cookie dough anything is always great but whatever you come up with will no doubt be delish!!
And I love seeing the evolution of your photography through these various posts and stages of your blog/life!
