TWD: Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

chocolate-ice-cream-1

Okay, I’ll admit it.  I’m not a big fan of chocolate ice cream.  Never have been.  I really don’t know why that is, because I love other chocolate things.  I love brownies, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake. And, I absolutely adore chocolate pudding, especially when it’s homemade.  But chocolate ice cream, not so much.  The name of this particular ice cream, however, is Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream.  I really love chocolate ganache!  Love, love, love!  You could put chocolate ganache on Brussels sprouts and I would eat it.  You could even put it on duck lips, and I’m pretty sure I would still eat it.  So of course, when I learned that Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream was on the menu for this week’s TWD, I had to try it.  And, I’m glad I did. read more >>

And, when it’s the pits, one thing that always makes me feel so much better is some cool, refreshing, fruity cherry sorbetto.

Believe it or not, the temperatures around here have been creeping up into the 70’s the past several days.  That sure is a far cry from the arctic blasts we were getting a mere few weeks ago!  Who knows how long it will last, though.  One thing I’ve …
