OK. So, what new ice cream will I be serving? Yes indeedy. That Cuisinart, $40 machine, has served me well.
I made a banana, strawberry and saffron ice cream with vanilla. I also made a very strong vanilla, using Tahitian, Mexican AND Madagascar vanilla and then at the end I added black berries and some dark chocolate chips.
For Valentine’s day, Kim and I went out to the Arlington House, a nice restaurant. One of the desserts that they served was chocolate pate. Basically, it was 55%-60% shaved dark chocolate. I think I’ll get an 85% dark chocolate block and do the same for the April workshops. I think I’ll serve that with a chocolate mouse and a chocolate chip cookie. Yes, I just stole the Arlington House dessert except MY chocolate chip cookies are better.
Would love to sample yer confections! Glad to see you go the extra mile for perfection! Ice cream, pizza and easter pie, my flavorites! love, cm
Well, then you’ll have to visit.
