    “Cheat” Ice Cream in a variety of Flavors

    Once I started making ice cream this way, I stopped bothering with the egg-laden version. This is 3 minutes work, 30 minutes in your ice cream maker, and then (at least) an hour in the freezer. You can make it in any flavor you feel like – I have given a few of my favorite options here. As I am sensitive to cow’s-milk, I have also noted the dairy-free/Pareve version, which is also (in this case) the vegan version. I hope you enjoy! Ingredients 500 ml. heavy cream (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute) 300 ml. (1¼ cups) milk (or dairy-free/Pareve substitute such as soy milk/rice milk/almond milk) 6-8 Tbsp. sugar (if using…

    Homemade Crembo

    Meringue Ingredients 200 gr. egg yolks 400 gr. sugar Meringue Preparation Fill a pot with about 2cm/1inch water and bring to a boil. Place a heat-proof bowl over the pot (I use the metal mixer bowl), so that the bowl’s edges rest on the pot, and its bottom is not(!) touching the water (this technique is known as Bain Marie).

Remove bowl from heat and pour to mixer bowl. Whisk on high for 10-15 minutes until very thick…
