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...}

Last summer I posted a recipe for jalapeno ice cream. Now, I've found one for *Chocolate* Jalapeno Ice Cream with white chocolate sauce and candied pecans.
This recipe comes from Janos Wilder, owner chef of four star Janos’ Restaurant in Tucson, AZ.
DARK CHOCOLATE—JALAPEÑO ICE CREAM SUNDAE
(found in Savor The Southwest by Barbara Pool (& Jane Horn) p. 173.)
Serves 10-12
“Chocolate truffle meets jalapeño chile” is an apt description of this addictive frozen confection, which delivers double the chocolate as the sauce is chocolate, too. Note that the eggs in this recipe do not get cooked, so if you are concerned ... {Tags: chocolate, jalapeno, white chocolate} {More...}

Peppermint has a long standing tradition of being helpful for relieving stomach ailments. I, myself, have recently invested in a few boxes of peppermint tea to finally get some control over my years of tummy troubles. I'm not a big tea drinker, so I'm always on the lookout for alternative ways to use things.
Here's a great recipe for Chocolate Mint ice cream from The Happy Gelateria using peppermint tea & cashew nuts instead of dairy.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup of cashew nuts, soaked for 4 hours and then drained and rinsed .
* 1/2 - 1 cup of strong peppermint tea (brewed by ... {Tags: chocolate, peppermint} {More...}

Ok, so I recently found a little shop in downtown Portland, ME called Bubble Maineia. They make the best "bubble teas" I have had since I first found out about them a few years ago. I bought a chocolate coconut milkshake with bubbles the last 2 times I stopped by. It was such a delicious flavor combination that I tried making it at home with chocolate milk and coconut milk. It didn't quite come out the same.
After searching online, I found a great chocolate coconut ice cream recipe by The Nourishing Gourmet.

Cathe Olson at vegfamily.com has a great recipe for vegan fudgesicles. This recipe makes 1-1/4 quarts, so you'll have to trim it down when you use your Play & Freeze.
Fudgesicle Ice Cream
This vegan ice cream is fudgier and icier than real ice cream - very similar in taste and texture to a Fudgesicle. It gets very hard in the freezer so if you have leftovers, plan to leave them out up to 30 minutes (depending on how much you have) to soften before eating.
4 cups soy or rice milk
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup unrefined sugar
3/4 cup ... {Tags: chocolate, fudgesicle, non-dairy, vegan} {More...}

If you're like me, you've grown increasingly wary of the sugar substitutes in all these "diet" products. Why not try something natural?
Stevia: Stevia is a very sweet herb from South America that's available in powder and liquid form at health-food stores. It's said to be 250x sweeter than sugar so you only need a little bit.
Single Blossom Honey (red clover or orange blossom) or Agave Nectar: both are low-glycemic but high caloric & carbohydrate.
Whey Low® for Ice Cream : This healthful, patented blend of fruit sugar, table sugar, and milk sugar offers an amazing 70 to 80% lower ... {Tags: agave nectar, chocolate, sugar free, sugar substitutes} {More...}
