OMG. Totes hun-cal froyo

By Je on 20th May, 2010

Last week I purchased a Cuisinart ice cream and sorbet maker from one of my online shopping obsessions RueLaLa.com. (If you’re not a member, hit me up, and I’ll send you an invite. The deals are amazing!)

No, I totally did not need an ice cream machine. This is obviously up there with one of my most frivolous purchases ever. Although, I’m pretty sure my onion saver takes the cake in that category. However, I did have a purchase credit, and the ice cream maker was significantly cheaper than the original price, so I paid approximately $30 for it after shipping. (Not bad, right?)

Anywhoosit, it came in the mail this week, and I can’t stop searching for ice cream (more specifically, frozen yogurt) recipes to try out. The recipes at the top of my list:

Purple Sweet Potato Ice Cream // SeasaltwithFood.com

Champagne Sorbet // SimplyRecipes.com

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt // DavidLebovitz.com (author of The Perfect Scoop)

Macha Frozen Yogurt // CreativeLoafing.com

Coconut Banana Frozen Yogurt //RecipeZaar.com

And because absolutely nothing great can exist without the addition of bacon:

Candied Bacon Ice Cream (!!!) // DavidLebovitz.com

Now…which one to try first?! I’ll keep you all posted on my ice cream progress! (Oh, and send me your recipes or ideas if you have any!)

Purchase your own Cuisinart ice cream maker here. And view the hilarious video I’m referencing in my title here.

Currently Feeling: Tired from a busy week. I think I’m going to stay in Friday night this week – and really mean it this time!
Currently Anticipating: Heading with a girl friend tonight to the opening-night gala party tonight of Seattle International Film Festival.
Currently Worried About: My little tomato plant – it’s cold as H in Seattle this week!

    We got the ice cream maker for our wedding. It was one of the few frivolous gifts we registered for. So far, we’ve been using it for margaritas b/c as it turns out, all sorbets are are non-alcoholic margaritas. But now we’re totally going to try the champagne sorbet b/c wow does that sound good. And one day I’m sure we’ll make real ice cream with it haha!

      I saw you could also make margaritas and daiquiris in them – awesome. Yet another thing I’ll have to try out this summer. I think I’m going to bring it to a cabin I’m heading to for Memorial Day weekend! Send me your recipes if you have them! ;)

    I made the bacon ice cream last week. It was fantastic. A little shocking at first, but overall it was really tasty. Highly recommend a good quality bacon.

      No way – you really made the bacon ice cream? That’s awesome, Noah! It’s definitely a bit labor intensive. Did you use the same recipe?
