Summer is for Ice Cream
a little recipe roundup of my favorite frozen treats
There is very little I love in life more than homemade ice cream. When I was working in restaurants with unfettered access to fancy ice cream machines, we spent days in the kitchen playing around with fun flavors and testing interesting combinations (hello lemongrass sorbet and bee balm ice cream). So when I left the restaurant kitchen to write recipes from home, I refused to let my ice cream play go. I was determined to create a homemade ice cream recipe that didn’t need an ice cream maker (because I had no space for one) and that didn’t hinge on whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk (because it’s way too sweet).
I spent a long time developing a simple crème anglaise ice cream base that can be used with or without an ice cream machine and can be adapted and adjusted to fit a zillion different flavor combinations. So to celebrate the official start of summer, I’ve gathered a handful of my very favorite ice cream recipes to share with you.
To start us off, here is my base crème anglaise recipe, aka the cornerstone for all of my ice cream recipes. If you’re making ice cream at home for the first time, it’s worth giving this post a read as there are lots of tips in making a successful anglaise.
