With the warm weather approaching I start to think about ice cream...
I have been looking through posts on here and it seems there hasn't been much activity on the subject in a while so I thought maybe I'd stir it up again...
A local ice cream shop around here serves a flavor called cannoli ice cream. For those of you who don't know what a cannoli is see here:
yum
Before south beach, I never realized that cannoli filling is mostly just sweetened ricotta cheese! When I first saw the ricotta desserts I thought, isn't that the stuff used in pasta dishes? gross! But now I know better and I want to try this ice cream, but I'm sure it's chock full of fat and sugars so I'll refrain...
Anyways, I've been thinking about getting an ice cream maker and making my own yummy ice creams so I don't need to suffer through the guilt or the pounds from the ice cream shops... has anyone tried this? I'm sure there's lots of amazing flavors perfectly acceptable for P1 or P2 like avocado or pumpkin or strawberry rhubarb, (oh my!)
Please share!
