fresh pineapple ice cream
Comments (8)I had some of the ice cream with my lunch today, and the ice cream was quite hard, and so perhaps I did not add enough rum or Grand Marnier. Tastewise, I don't think it needed more rum, and in fact the flavors were very balanced - not too sweet and not too tart. Because I used the strawberry juice, it came out like strawberry ice cream with tiny pineapple chunks, and it does look pretty - pink with yellow polka dots. I wish I had made a pure pineapple flavor, but as a combination flavor it is still very good, but I would prefer to taste the pineapple more intensely. I might make a similar recipe and use pineapple juice/syrup instead of strawberry juice, but if I use the juice, I think I would have to cook it a bit with some sugar, and I would have to do that by taste. I might just break down and use canned pineapple - that would save much of the work, and I think it tastes okay - especially in ice cream. The fresh pineapple does bring back memories of Mexico, however. Lars...See MoreFruit flavored ice cream
Comments (17)I'm glad you enjoyed it. Since DH and I watch our cholesterol intake, we make more sorbets and water ices than ice cream. However, black cherries are in season and I couldn't resist making this old favorite: BRANDIED CHERRY ICE CREAM 6 egg yolks 1 1/3 cups sugar 3 cups whole milk 2 cups whipping cream 4 cups fresh, ripe, sweet dark cherries, halved and pitted 1/2 tsp. almond extract 1/4 cup cherry liqueur or brandy In a small bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored, 4 to 5 minutes. In a heavy saucepan, combine beaten egg yolks, sugar, milk and cream. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture thickens slightly and coats a metal spoon; set aside. Puree cherries in blender or food processor until almost smooth but so there are still some little bits of cherries in the mixture. Stir into egg mixture. Stir in almond extract and liqueur. Cool to room temperature. Pour into ice cream canister and freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturerÂs directions. Makes about 2 quarts....See MoreRECIPE: why do diabetic desserts have all that sugar?
Comments (17)Sugar is a carbohydrate, last I checked... Furthermore, beware of the commercially prepared sugar-free products. Most of them contain Sorbitol which is sugar alcohol (but doesn't contain alcohol). It is a carb and a different kind of sugar but still, it is sugar. Everything that ends with -ol is sugar alcohol and a big no-no for the diabetics. Another thing is, lactose-free milk. This thing is good for the lactose-intolerant folks. The process of getting rid of lactose is adding a special enzyme to the regular milk, so that the lactose (milk sugar) is converted into 2 simple sugars, one of them is glucose. Meaning that it's best for the diabetics to avoid lactose-free milk altogether. Someone has posted about a diet with 250 carbs a day for the diabetic; to me it sounds a bit extreme. My carbs a day are as follows: up to 4 carbs a meal and up to 2 carbs a snack. 3 meals and 3 snacks = 18 carbs, give or take. I was told I can have an occasional candy. So far so good....See MoreSo easy Sooo good lemon ice cream
Comments (69)Just put my 2nd batch in the freezer. Changed the recipe to use 2 Tablespoons less sugar. I also combined the sugar, milk, and cream as the first step. Then I grated and squeezed the lemon. When I was ready to stir the lemon into the cream mixture, the sugar was close to being dissolved so that I had reduced the amount of stirring I had done with the first batch when I followed directions. Better method. Can't wait for it to freeze up, but it will be a couple more hours....See More- 2 years agomartinca_gw sunset zone 24 thanked sleevendog (5a NY 6aNYC NL CA)
