Pumpkin Fever

Recipes: 15 Comments; 18 Sep 2009 Summer is quickly fading away here in Maine, but I can't say I'm sad to see it go. It was pretty cold and rainy this year and not very conducive to enjoying ice cream outside very often. Fall is probably one of my favorite seasons, though and I can't wait for it to be here already. The Fall Fever really started to hit for me when food establishments start bringing out the pumpkin flavored items. I've already enjoyed a few pumpkin bagels (yummy!) which reminded me of my failed pumpkin pie ice cream experiment last October. I think this year I ... {Tags: chocolate, pumpkin} {More...}

Recipes: 0 Comments; 26 May 2009 Sunday evening I finally convinced a friend of mine to make homemade ice cream with me. Since he's a big licorice fan we used pure anise flavoring in place of vanilla. Normally I use half and half to make my homemade ice cream but I opted for whole heavy cream because it turns into ice cream faster (and I'm impatient). Next time, however, I will remember to cut the heavy cream with milk or half and half because it left a less than desirable texture in your mouth. Here was our recipe: 32oz heavy cream 2/3 cup sugar 3 tablespoons anise flavoring And here is ... {Tags: anise, licorice} {More...}

Recipes and Videos: 5 Comments; 23 Apr 2009 You probably think you're at the wrong blog. Why is an ice cream blog talking about chicken salad? How can that possibly relate to ice cream? Well, read on and I'll tell you! First, I just have to say that Blue Bunny ice cream is delicious and versatile. Their website has so many good recipes with instructional videos on it. Their recipe for Chicken Curry Salad is no exception. I wouldn't have thought to use vanilla ice cream in my chicken salad, but this sounds so good: "This spicy and sweet chicken salad starts with a creamy base of softened BLUE BUNNY® ... {Tags: curry, french vanilla} {More...}
