Michael's Fabulous Chocolate Mountain Ice Cream Cake

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:06:08 -0400

This is a fabulous cake for children (and adults) of all ages. I made it for my brother's 21st birthday and he loved it. It's easy to make, tastes great, and leftovers store easy (if there are any). It's also so original and unique that it will astonish everyone you serve it to. It's impossible not to be impressed with a cake like this! -- posted by Lieutenant Ducky

Iced Oranges With Granita

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:33:18 -0400

A pretty little dessert! Great to serve on a hot day or after a summer barbeque. I used navel oranges for mine - please note that if you use another type/size of orange, you may have to change the quantity of syrup/juice accordingly. You will probably end up with excess granita, but better too much than too little! -- posted by horseplay

Carrot Cake Ice Cream

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:52:20 -0400

This combines some of my favorite tastes - carrot cake with tangy cream cheese frosting & ice cream. This recipe is one that requires advance preparation of the nummy things to go into the Philadelphia-style ice cream base (named for the uncooked base not because of the cream cheese). With good mise en place this should come together nicely & be a star dessert. Found in the LA Times Food & Drink Weekly Guide. ***Assemble this to freeze several hours before serving. Take from freezer 15 minutes before scooping (gauge based on how warm your room is of course)****prep & cook time do not include chill & freeze time. I plan to chill base overnight to make life better. -- posted by Buster's friend

Tangy Frozen Lemon Yogurt

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 16:52:28 -0400

Found the secret to that special tangy twang that is hard to get at home - citric acid! Just a bit. The stuff in Fruit-Fresh. I know this recipe will be appreciated when it is just too danged hot to eat a rich ice cream but really, really want something frozen & decadent but refreshing. And I LOVE Greek yogurt & just about anything lemon. I plan to try this one with Splenda instead of the sugar as no cooking is involved. Cook time is freeze time. -- posted by Buster's friend

Roquefort Ice Cream With Pears

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:01:29 -0400

(Helado de Roquefort con Peras) Combining the cheese and dessert courses into one delicious package, cheese ice creams are featured on many modern Spanish menus. Blue cheese ice cream in particular is a tasty and terrific idea. While pears make perfect senes, the ice cream can also be paired with other fruit, especially figs, either fresh, roasted, or in a quick compote. Instead of Roquefort, you can substitute Gorgonzola. And try making the ice cream with a mild or aged goat cheese, too. Adapted from "The New Spanish Table" cookbook. -- posted by TxGriffLover

Sinfully Rich Fresh Strawberry Ice Cream

Fri, 01 May 2009 02:53:54 -0400

When my girls were little, we used to have "Ice Cream Parties" where the two little boys down the street would come over for fresh ice cream. This recipe is full fat...full calories...and tastes ever so good! You need a ice cream machine for this recipe. I used to keep my ice cream canister always in the freezer and have the right amount of strawberries chopped and placed in freezer bags for the winter months... when we wanted to pretend that it was summertime! I would take this strawberry cream mixture to dinner parties and curn up fresh ice cream for dessert...then have everyone moaning in bliss!!!

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:59:48 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping for ZWT5. From Clean Eating, May/June 2009 issue. This is a more complex mixture of Caribbean spices and ingredients than "knock-your-socks-off" hot peppers and "suicide-spicy" jerk chicken. The preparation is geared toward advance preparation and freezing of the marinade and marinated chicken (for 3-4 months), but I did not include freezing/thawing time in preparation time. For tropical fruit, use any combination of tropical fruit: pineapple, mango or papaya were suggested by Clean Eating. -- posted by KateL

Easy Meatball Kebobs

Fri, 29 May 2009 11:29:16 -0400

I always have some cooked meatballs in my freezer so this is an easy recipe for me to make!. They look quite elegant and could be served to company any time. You will neeed 8 1" pieces of green pepper and 8 1" pieces of red pepper and 8 pieces on onion. I have simple said !/2 pepper and 1 onion to keep the ingredient list simple. If using Bamboo skewers soak for 45 minutes in water to prevent scorching. The cook time is apprx depending on your method of cooking and the size of your meatball. I used a griddler and it took 7 minutes, BBQ perhaps 15 minutes and broiling about 15 minutes 6" from the broiler. The meatballs are already cooked so it is just a matter of heating them through and getting them golden. The peppers will still be crunchy but hot through -- posted by Bergy

From Taste of Home site, this was a huge hit when I served it to friends. Everyone loved it, but someone suggested it would be "over the moon" with a little chocolate. So next time, I'll probably replace one of the sorbet layers with chocolate ice cream or sorbet. Either way, it's easy and delicous as it stands. As written, it's 5 WW pts per serving.

However you decide to indulge in it, I hope you enjoy this wonderful mix just as much as I do. *NOTE* In the "Preparation Time" section, I put 1 Day, this is because of the freezing of the banana. -- posted by Nick R.

Tomato Soup in an ice cream maker? This innovative twist on gazpacho would be an excellent first course in a tasting menu.

Creamy Lemongrass Ice Cream

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:36:11 -0400

I came up with this recipe because I am constantly unsatisfied with the ice cream recipes out there. They are either to rich, to egg-tasting, or too grainy. This recipe has none of those undesired qualities. This smooth and creamy ice cream combines the exotic flavor of lemongrass with the familiar texture and sweetness of ice cream. The ice cream is neither to eggy, nor too buttery in part because of the use of non-fat condensed milk and regular cream. -- posted by Timothy Sakhuja

"just Plain" Vanilla Ice Cream

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:59 -0400

Although this is just plain vanilla ice cream, it will put any ice cream lover over the edge. It is an American style, meaning no eggs, which also means no cooking and a shorter prep time. But don't let the simplicity fool you. The secret to the exceptional vanilla flavor is the Pure Vanilla Bean Powder. Extract does not even come close, that is why I don't bother with mentioning it as a substitution. This is pure vanilla bean that has bean ground into a powder. It can be hard to find so here is the link for the Madecasse, the brand I use: www.madecasse.com -- posted by Chef Chet

Ultimate Taquitos OAMC

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:22:31 -0400

These taquitos are perfect for a healthy lunch, snack, appetizer, or dinner. I love that you just pop them from freezer to baking pan for a last minute meal. They are our favorite OAMC meal and they disappear very soon after I load the freezer with them! The hot-oil dipping step makes the tortillas very easy to work with and also makes it so when you take them out of the freezer, all you have to do that night is toss them in the oven to heat -- no frying mess on eating night. I have learned to have extra tortillas and extra oil on hand so I don't have to run to the store to get more in case the batch goes further than I planned! -- posted by StephanieZ

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 10:41:01 -0400

A true-to-DQ version of the pricey ice cream cakes. This is more of a method, really, than a recipe. This is a close copy of the DQ cakes we enjoy, at a fraction of the cost, and with ingredient control. Feel free to substitute your own cake and icing. Make sure you have room in the freezer before starting assembly. I keep round cake layers on-hand in the freezer; you may need to make yours fresh. Use half the ingredients for one cake -- this makes two. Prep time includes freezing time during assembly only. -- posted by CheapThrills

Sam's Bulk Freezer Ground Beef/Hamburger (Oamc)

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:26:14 -0400

I love to grab a bulk pack of hamburger and make this for quick and easy precooked bags of hamburger. Only needs to thaw from the freezer long enough to break up and get out of the bag. Because this makes so much I usually cook it 1/4-1/2 at a time. Cooking time is based on cooking it in 2 parts -- posted by Sam #3

Shirley Temple Popsicles

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:21:25 -0400

During the summer time, I love to make homemade popsicles and other frozen fruity treats for my son and his friends. It fun and healthier than purchasing sugar filled novelties at the grocery store. This one isn't quite as healthy as the others but it is a good spin on my son's favorite restaurant drink...Shirley Temple. -- posted by Melanie B.

Perfect Spaghetti Sauce (Crock-Pot)

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:08:50 -0400

As a kid, I was pretty picky about spaghetti sauce, and then mom got this one from a friend...SO good! Now that I have kids of my own, they love it and I've been able to improvise on the recipe myself to make it both kid- and adult-friendly! An easy meal that you don't have to think about and will make your house smell delicious! Plenty for freezing,as well, for another day. Hope you enjoy! *Sometimes, I'll replace some of the tomato sauce with crushed tomatoes and add a little more spice and garlic to compensate* **I use hot Italian sausage mixed with ground beef for a little more of a kick** -- posted by Chef #1240616

Candied bacon might seem like the ultimate example of gilding the lily, but it adds a sweet, smoky edge to this already luscious pie. Elvis would be proud. Use 10 in. pie plate. Thanks Gourmet.com -- posted by College Girl

Peach and Champagne Sorbet

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:12:11 -0400

From About.com Home Cooking. Peach sorbet gets a festive edge by the addition of champagne. You can cut the preparation time by using frozen peaches. If you do not have champagne, try substituting sparkling apple or white grape juice. This recipe is designed for an ice cream machine. -- posted by SashasMommy

Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:19:51 -0400

This is a very refreshing recipe I have used for years. It comes from the bag of Ocean Spray Cranberries bought in the grocery store. This time of year cranberries are plentiful where I live (in fact I have a huge bag 21 pounds in the refrigerator) so right now I try to give new recipes a try before the fresh ones have to go into the freezer. Give it a try it goes great with your Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy! -- posted by Bonnie Young
