Ice Cream Sunday - Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

There’s nothing vanilla about a rich, creamy, homemade vanilla bean ice cream. With 30% of ice cream sales in the world, it’s the most popular flavour of ice cream sold in the world. It’s the first flavour of ice cream that I remember having, so for today’s Ice Cream Sunday - my favourite flavour – Vanilla Bean ice cream.

Ice Cream Sunday - Grapefruit Basil Sorbet

My love for sorbets really started with a love for Italian ices, and snow cones. As a kid there was nothing more satisfying than sinking my face and mouth into a slushy, icy treat to cool off on a hot summer day. In this week's Ice Cream Sunday I've created a grown up version of a childhood treat.

Ice Cream Sunday: Avocado Ice Cream

Although I’ve never really blogged about it, I eat avocados regularly. In Trinidad, they are found everywhere, and I've had it prepare just about every way that you can possible think of. A couple of weeks ago I had an avocado creme brûlée and it brought back memories of avocado ice cream so this is my offering for this week's ice cream Sunday.
