When I was a kid, on the rare occasions that I was allowed sugary cereal for breakfast, the best part was always the super sweet cereal milk at the bottom of the bowl. Christina Tosi and Milk Bar took this magical elixir and turned into soft serve ice cream, panna...
National Ice Cream Day was this earlier this week on July 21st but why limit ourselves to one day to celebrate this delicious frozen treat. This latest no-churn recipe is inspired by The Great Candycopia ice cream from Salt & Straw. No "food" waste One might argue...
Recently a friend asked if the previously posted Fresh Mint Ice Cream recipe required an ice cream maker. Unfortunately, despite my love for no-churn ice creams, that particular recipe requires a machine (and my friend doesn't have one). However, her question got me...
National Ice Cream Day is July 16 Ice cream is a lovely year-round treat, especially in Hawaii, but is particularly welcome in the summer. You know I am fond of no-churn ice creams, and this ice cream is yet another example and a great way to celebrate National Ice...
It's summer! Okay, I know, the official start of summer is June 21 but in Hawaii, school is out, the weather is warm, it's time to relax and enjoy the lazy days of summer. What better way to celebrate summer than with a bowl of cold, creamy lemon ice cream with a...
I love all things ube. I don't know if it's the brilliant and intense purple color or the subtle, hard to describe flavor. It's probably both. Ube is popular in Hawaii and a favorite way of preparing it is to make an ube ice cream or soft serve. With my love of...
Guri guri is a popular frozen treat found on the island of Maui. With its soft and slightly icy fruitiness, guri guri is a cross between sherbet and ice cream. It is a cold treat that is completely satisfying on a hot Hawaii day. Where can I find guri guri? The...
It's the beginning of November and it is still hot in Hawaii. For visitors seeking to escape the oncoming winter, it is near perfect weather - clear, almost cloudless skies with lots of sunshine. For those of us going about our daily lives, we're looking for a little...
It's October and I'm officially embracing pumpkin, not PSL (which I've never understood), but actual pumpkin. And once again, Nigella Lawson delivers a simple recipe for a beautiful, no-churn ice cream that celebrates this autumn fruit. 'Tis the Season for Pumpkin and...
The first ice cream cookbook I purchased was David Lebovitz's The Perfect Scoop and in the summer it is one of my go-to cookbooks to make frozen treats. The recipe for black pepper ice cream remains a component of one of my favorite desserts. I...
Often times the recipes I make are inspired by a television program. In this case it was Nigella Lawson's Christmas special (yes, I have a lot of shows on my DVR). What I love about Nigella is she makes delicious food but nothing is super complicated or fussy. One of...
Last year I really got into using my ice cream maker and had successes with black pepper ice cream and I Want S'more ice cream. As the weather warms up I'm looking forward to more recipes and experiments. I recently watched a re-run of Nigella...
Updated July 31, 2022 I have a few friends who enjoy cooking as much as I do. We like trying new things and are unafraid to experiment and modify recipes. One day our discussion turned to two classic summertime desserts - ice cream and s'mores. I started thinking...
Updated July 31, 2022 To accompany the Sticky Toffee Pudding at our latest Feast, I made a Black Pepper Ice Cream. The puddings is traditionally served with vanilla ice cream. I wanted to make something a bit more "chefy" and turned to David Lebovitz's book The...
