PUMPKIN STRACCIATELLA GELATO
TRAIL MIX ICE CREAM
Basically a pumpkin flavoured ice cream with little pieces of chocolate throughout, maybe we will keep this one for a halloween treat.
If you like your ice cream with a mixture of flavours and textures then this is the one for you. Full of nuts, chocolate candies & raisins, delicious!
White Chocolate Cream: • 1/4 cup heavy cream • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup • 4-ounce bar white chocolate Caramel Sauce: • 1/4 cup sugar • 2 tablespoons corn syrup • 1 tablespoon honey • 3/4 cup heavy cream Salted Pecans: • 1 cup pecan halves • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt • 32 ounces of vanilla ice cream • 2 tablespoons dark creme de cacao • 6 to 8 ice cream cones
FEAR THE TURTLE ICE CREAM We would get this one just for the name alone! Combining white chocolate ice cream, carmel sauce, salted pecans and some crème de cacao, sounds good to us!
CURRY & MINT WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS Worth a try if you enjoy the thought of a minty curry and if there is chocolate in it, we are game!
For the White Chocolate Cream: Simmer 1 inch of water in a medium pot. Mix cream, butter, corn syrup & white chocolate in a bowl that will sit on top of the pot (don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Stir, until melted & smooth. Let it cool. For the Caramel Sauce: Stir sugar, corn syrup & honey with 1/2 cup water in a pot. Boil, without stirring. Cook until amber in colour, swirling the pot a few times once it starts to brown for 15 minutes. Pour in the cream & when the bubbling subsides, whisk until smooth. Let it cool. For the Pecans: Preheat the oven to 180oC. Add pecans, oil & salt to a small, rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, until toasted, 8 minutes. Cool & then finely chop. Soften the ice cream at room temperature until workable but not melting. Scrape into a large metal bowl. Add the white chocolate cream & the pecans and work into the ice cream until well distributed.
ROSE & RHUBARB ICE CREAM Combining Roses and Rhubarb, maybe some rhubarb sauce to make it extra rhubarby? You can make the decision on that one, but just think of the delightful rose filled smell!
SWEET CORN ICE CREAM, POPCORN & CARAMEL CANDIED BACON Now this one we can get on board with, the caramel candied bacon is questionable, but its definitely something we are willing to try.
Drizzle with the dark creme de cacao. If needed, return the ice cream to the freezer until firm enough to stir without melting. Drop a spoonful of the caramel over the ice cream & stir once or twice to create a chunky ribbon. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the freezer until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight. Serve in a cone or a dish.
