conuly | Made peach buttermilk ice cream

Mmm.

Thus far I've made:

Chocolate ice cream with cinnamon
Strawberry ice cream (didn't do that right, ended up with a layer of rock solid strawberries in the middle)
Cookies and cream (it was going to be vanilla, but Eva had oreos)
Peach buttermilk

Ginger is on pause until I can obtain some crystallized ginger. What else should I make now? I'll entertain all suggestions, both boring and exciting. Note: Sorry, almost all - it's too hot to make any sort of ice cream that requires me to cook it first!

Peach-cinnamon.

Dulce de leche ice cream!

From:

conuly

Mmm... do I have to cook the dulce de leche, though?

From:

conuly

I like your thought process here.

From:

chanter1944

Hmm. Lavender or jasmine are my first two thoughts. My third is rose.

From:

james

I was thinking you wouldn't but I guess it depends on what sort of basic ingredients you have? I live on the west coast where I can just buy dulce de leche as is.

Mostly I was thinking *I* want dulce de leche ice cream. ;-)

From:

conuly

I was considering rosewater ice cream.

From:

chanter1944

That sounds fantastic. :) *biased*

I just posted my easy recipe for sour cherry sorbet! You could use sweet cherries, I guess, and decrease the sugar.

From:

adafrog

Yum

From:

peanut butter, if no one is allergic (is almond butter ice cream a thing?), with either vanilla or chocolate as the base.
cookie butter.
cheesecake, with or without strawberries/cherries/blueberries.

From:

ironymaiden

The Mexican one made with goat milk would be so good swirled through sweet cream or vanilla base ice cream.

From:

spikethemuffin

You can buy ready-made dulce de leche, or if you have a slow cooker, pop a tin of condensed milk into a water bath for a few hours. So tasty!

From:

spikethemuffin

Rosewater/raspberry sorbet, perhaps with a bit of Chambord. If you don't have rosewater laying around, I recommend Nielsen-Massey for food use. (YMMV, but other brands can taste like cosmetics or have a mineral-y or mildew-y top note that some find off-putting.)

From:

spikethemuffin

Vanilla with a lemon curd ribbon? You could add in shortbread.

From:

conuly

I do have lemon curd.

From:

rebeccmeister

There are so many yummy ideas here already.

Honey-lavender is pretty amazing.

Can you share the peach buttermilk recipe? That sounds amazing, too.

From:

I macerated the peaches first, then proceeded with the recipe as written.

From:

spikethemuffin

Ginger biscuits would also work.

From:

rebeccmeister

Yum! Thank you!

I've met Ben Cohen and he said thin slicing or mushing up the strawberries before you mix them in helps avoid this.
How about coconut cantaloupe?
My niece is a super smart girl but she thought Harry Potter was a real guy when she was twelve. I thought that was kind of odd but I didn't say anything to my family.

From:

Every time I read this comment I keep getting stuck on the word "mushing" and thinking it says "mushrooms", which I think we all agree is a bad ice cream flavor.

Aw! Maybe she just wanted to go to Hogwarts. When you were a kid, didn't you poke around in the back of your closet just in case there was a door there?

There, fixed it for them.

From:

conuly

It must be infuriating for them to realize that they're surrounded by these folks.

From:

marahmarie

I just can't even. They're an excellent argument for why murder should be legal.

From:

conuly

That's a bit extreme.

From:

You’re a better woman than I, as I’d make endless varieties of chocolate!

From:

conuly

Hilariously, when I *buy* ice cream I stick to a few choice favorites.

From:

marahmarie

I was *just* thinking that was going to be someone's reply. Didn't think it'd be yours, but yeah, a) I have my moments and b) still I'm only kidding. But I tend to kid a lot, and it always leads me to about the same conclusion.

From:

That sounds amazing!

You know what goes weirdly well with peaches? Rosemary. Strawberries and cinnamon go together equally well, as does nutella and strawberries.

And if you want ginger ice cream, you could try the cooking ginger in syrup stuff that comes in a tube in the produce section of the grocery store.
