This Week in Ice Cream Club – Gimme S’more!

Hey there Ice Cream Club! After a week of grey hazy skies from the wildfire smoke, we had a delightful display of sunshine this afternoon. The air is much nicer, too, but even though today is the last day of Summer, it’s getting cold. We’re unlikely to get nights that are too hot to sleep,Continue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Gimme S’more!”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – A Week that Wasn’t

Hey out there Ice Cream Club! You look like you’ve got it all together! I sure wish I felt that way. While I had a pretty decent week this past week, I didn’t do much on the ice cream front. I even messed up a batch, because I let time get away from me andContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – A Week that Wasn’t”

Cookies in Ice Cream

Cookies and Cream ice cream is one of the primary reasons I got into making ice cream. Whether they’re crunchy or soft, the texture of the cookies is usually great, and they add a counterpoint of sweet to the ice cream base. It’s common to see Cookies and Cream done with chocolate cookie bits, whichContinue reading “Cookies in Ice Cream”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Trust the Process

Hey there Ice Cream Club! Has it been a week? I feel like I spent the last seven days with my head inside a fruit stand. Last Sunday, I loaded up on local treefruit, courtesy of a generous new friend. With ten or more pounds each of apples, pears and plums, my work was cutContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Trust the Process”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Urban Harvest

Even though it wrapped up my week, I’ll begin with a shoutout to a new friend (a friend of my roommate) who generously opened up their yard and fruit trees to invited pickers. My roommate and I went this afternoon, just before some light rain, and came away with literally pounds of apples, plums andContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Urban Harvest”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Ebb and Flow

Hey Ice Cream Club! We’re officially in the last month of Summer now, and for me, that means trying to pack in every moment of sunshine that I can before the weather changes. We’ve had some much-needed rain this week, but it really cools things down and dampens my enthusiasm for making ice cream. ButContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Ebb and Flow”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Forage for the Ages

Hello Ice Cream Club! Today was the hottest day of the year in Vancouver, and I hope yours was a little slice of summer heaven, with some nice ice cream in it somewhere. I’m just about to have myself a little container of probably my favourite frozen treat ever. This is plain and simple BlackberryContinue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Forage for the Ages”

This Week in Ice Cream Club – Fermentation Nation

Hey out there Ice Cream Club! Another week has gone by, and I have ice cream stuff to talk about. This week I used various forms of fermentation to my advantage, and took advantage of some local ingredients. Let’s talk frozen desserts! I started out the week by churning a pair of chocolate ice creams.Continue reading “This Week in Ice Cream Club – Fermentation Nation”

This Week in Ice Cream Club

Hey Internet! It’s been a while since I posted here, and I’m trying to get back in the habit again. I’m going to start with a format that worked for me a while ago at my old job.
