Adult ice cream.
Now there’s a novel idea.
A sweet treat just especially for us.
I can see the business model, and I’m ready.
Now that I’ve experimented a little, have the proportions down pat, the flavor combination ideas are drowning my thoughts, my focus, and my figures.
Or, maybe that’s just the wine.
I have to be honest, I really didn’t think the essence and aromas of the wine would be apparent among the cream.
I was wrong…and was quite pleasantly surprised.
Be ready ~ you may not be able to stop…
Sweet Red and Basil
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup bold red wine
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
3 Tbs. fresh basil, cut in chiffonade
Make sure all ingredients (and the mixing bowl) are very cold before beginning.
Beat the cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the wine, sweetened condensed milk, and basil until well combined.
Transfer to a loaf pan (or any vessel, really) and freeze for at least 6 hours before digging in.
Sweet White and Blackberry Mint
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 Tbs. fresh mint, thinly sliced
6 oz. fresh blackberries
Make sure all ingredients (and the mixing bowl) are very cold before beginning.
Beat the cream in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Fold in the wine, sweetened condensed milk, and mint until well combined. Very gently stir in 2/3 of the berries.
Transfer to a loaf pan (or any vessel, really) and freeze for at least 6 hours before digging in. Top with the remaining berries.
