I am back in town after a trip, so I’ll have a lot of posts going up this week, as I play catch-up with all my cooking groups!  First up:  Tuesdays with Dorie.

This week, Tommi of Brown Interior selected Honey-Peach Ice Cream on page 437 of Baking: From My Home to Yours.  Except I used mangos (peaches are not yet in season) and passion fruit curd, vanilla bean, and forgot to add the honey.  Master Chow had his with one of his beloved Chipster-Topped Brownies, and declared the entire dessert a success.  Thank you, Tommi, for a great pick.  To see what other group members made, check out the TWD blogroll.

**Update** I forgot to mention that I used lime instead of lemon, and after about a week, the flavor of the ice cream was really, really good, but I still had trouble with the texture.  I plan to try this again, but I’m going to substitute low fat sour cream and half-and-half (light cream) for some of the heavy whipping cream. **

This week, Dolores of Chronicles in Culinary Curiosity chose Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream on page 434 of Dorie’s book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. I found some fresh blueberries on sale, and decided to double the recipe, making one small change: I replaced only 25% of the full fat sour cream with low fat sour cream. I also made the galette again to take to a dinner party, and it was polished off in record time!

The verdict? My least favorite recipe to date. Don’t feel bad, folks, I don’t consider this a failure. My husband enjoyed it, and I learned a bit more about what I like in an ice cream recipe. Namely, in a fruit ice cream, I like to taste the fruit. With this recipe, I was overwhelmed by the cream, sour cream, and the grease slick they left on my lips and the roof of my mouth, which is exactly why I don’t like Cold Stone Creamery brand ice cream. So, if you DO like really rich ice cream like Cold Stone, this is a recipe for you!
