Mango Ice Cream

I couldn’t wait to post this recipe, because it’s just the perfect summer dessert – elegant, simple, and fairly inexpensive, with only four ingredients, a couple of mangoes, sugar, cream and lemon juice. This recipe is from the (purportedly haunted!) Menger Hotel in San Antonio. In my opinion, it tastes best straight out of …

Mint Chocolate Ice Cream

Our family loves ice cream in just about every flavor, but when it comes to mint we’re picky. Hands down, the best mint ice cream is home made and this is the recipe I use when I take the time to make it. This recipe is adapted from the only ice cream book I own [...]

Blueberry-Ginger Sorbet

blueberry-sorbet

I’d never made sorbet, but after attending an event at Thai Fresh where Jam was whipping out all kinds of berry flavored ice creams, I had the urge to drag out my ice cream maker and give it a go. This recipe is adapted from a collection of state fair winners, but during a quick [...]

girl scout cookie tiramisu

I love tiramisu and the idea of making it with Girl Scout shortbread cookies instead of ladyfingers seemed like a winner. In fact, if you Google “Girl Scout Cookie Tiramisu” you’ll find recipes from various chefs who did just that. So today’s recipe was supposed to supposed to be a rich Girl Scout …
