Friday Fun: Ice Cream

07/01/2005

Here's the scoop...I love ice cream. Ice cream in a sugar cone topped with chocolate jimmies (that's sprinkles for your non Bostonians) is the perfect street food. Of course hot fudge sundaes are on the list too. Homemade ice cream, well, it's  my idea of heaven.

Last summer I bought an ice cream maker. This summer I've been playing around with the Barefoot Contessa's  ice cream recipe that was inspired by the Turtle candy. Rich vanilla, streaked with caramel, chocolate and pecans. Girlfriend, it is to die for! And the Amateur Gourmet has posted the recipe! I add some NZ hokey pokey (an idea from my dear friend Jilly in NZ) for a richer caramel indulgence and toast the pecans before adding them.

Sidebar: The Barefoot Contessa is wonderful. Unlike some cooking shows, that take themselves way to seriously, she seems to have fun. Laughs a lot. Her recipes are easy to follow and her books are beautiful. Note: nope! not a paid endorsement but I love to be invited to one of her parties!

Altho chocolate is not my fav flavor it would appear that in the world of ice cream flavor tests I'm a chocolate. Or at least at the moment in time when I took the test.

You Are Chocolate Ice Cream
You have a flair for the dramatic and love to party. Your personality is super strong and unique. Many people crave you constantly - while you turn a few off. You are most compatible with coffee ice cream.

Well, Toby, it seems that not only are our marketing philosophies compatible, but also our ice cream flavors :-) Have a great holiday weekend!

Oh my, oh my...I've been eating so much ice cream recently it's ridiculous : 0 Seriously.

My new favorite is chocolate ice cream with crushed oreos mixed into it...

It's not JUST ice cream, it's calcium.
And as I've convinced my female friends, clients, and colleagues, it's a critical weapon in the ongoing fight against osteoporosis ... so eat up! (& enjoy)

Thanks for your comments on my post....the ice cream, though labor intensive, was a hit!

I just made some strawberry ice cream, so I had to weigh in. Ha! Get it? My fave is peaches-and-cream ice cream, which is great to make this time of year if you can get fresh peaches. Mmm.
