44. Make 50 different flavours of ice cream / gelato

 Make 50 different flavours of ice cream or gelato

 

After finally all my subtle hints were picked up and I got an ice cream maker for Christmas 2022, this felt like a good idea to put this out there as one to try see if I can spark my culinary creativity and see what I can come up with. 

1. Vanilla 

Thought best to start with the recipes in the book and the old classic vanilla as a starter. 

 

Overall seemed to go well overall although maybe a hint too much vanilla and slightly longer chilling time as it melted super quick. 

 

2. Strawberry 

 

This one was very good and made with fresh ingredients definitely tastes a lot better. The longer freezing time meant it didn't turn back to just being cream so quickly. 

3. Chocolate 

 

I took a while to decide on the milk chocolate for this one. I decided to just go for Dairy Milk given its distinctive flavour. Turned out well and gave me inspiration for other flavours of ice cream. 

4. Berry Ripple which became Berry 

 

So this one was meant to be berry ripple however I think I mixed the berry in too early and ended up with berry ice cream. Not a total disaster as still tasted pretty good but not the marbled berry effect I'd hoped for. 

5. Toffee Crisp 

 

So this was the first one I went off piste with and did my own recipe, using the basis of the chocolate above I decided to add in the elements of a toffee crisp. Hindsight - put the coco pops on tops as the crisp otherwise they go chewy,,,, Also the additional toffee pieces were unnecessary.  Still pretty good though. 

6. Ferrero Rocher

 

Another one which was slightly off piste, although this time I used the the Ferrero Rocher chocolate to form the base for this one. This is probably the best one I've made so far so long may the successes continue.
