Ice Cream Class

Monday & Wednesday night at 6pm this week we will be meeting at the bakery for Ice Cream class. The last time I offered this was 2 summers ago so we'll see what our turn out is. I'm so excited to sample the excellent flavors that we've come up with: Roasted Banana Brownie Ice Cream, Buttermilk Ice Cream, Red Wine Granita, Stracciatella Gelato, Banana Lemon Sorbet, Mango Kulfi, Pineapple Rum Gelato, Butterscotch Sauce, Honey Tuile Cones.

On Monday, we'll make the bases for the ice cream, sorbet and gelato. Then on Wednesday, the bases will be thoroughly chilled so we can spin them in our ice cream machines. The granita wants to be made & frozen in one day, so we'll see when there's time. And, the kulfi, which is a solid frozen dessert made with cooked down milk (or evaporated, if you're pressed for time) and mango. This one will be made and put in the freezer in molds on Monday.

So on Wednesday, the only tasks will be to spin the bases, make cones, and make the butterscotch and hot fudge sauces. I'll try to document the process to post later...
