Milkshake; - “you can’t make milkshake without ice cream” says one cook I know
Chocolate, Strawberry, Butterscotch et al apart, Vanilla goes well with a lot of fruit. On the other hand, fruit milkshakes are actually also nice without ice cream, methinks. Mango, Sapota, Banana are my favorites.
And hmm. Also see this.
Sorbetto : Chill with the ice Summer days are especially conducive to freezer-raids.. the kind where you scrape the frosty ice off the freezer walls.. I discovered kinda recently that there’s amuch more hygenic and creative way that people have already figured out, to do the same thing. Used to think a sorbetto was made from crushed frozen fruit juice. But much easier than crushing is just stirring it every so often (whenever I decide to take a break from my xbox game on a weekend) to break the ice up. Eventually all the liquid freezes, and it becomes powdery. That’s when you scoop it out with an ice cream scoop and garnish with a sprig of mint
Granitas : Just like a sorbetto. Only, you don’t need to wait till it’s powdery dry if you’re serving it immediately. If you aren’t, then pop the ’sorbetto’ into the fridge for a while, or blend until slightly slushy, serve in tall glass..
I have tried orange, lemon and tea. Will update if I manage to make any others. Would really like to try out an apple
Another ice cream expert says that you’ve got to make sure your ‘fruit juice’ is nice and saturated before you freeze. Fruit puree, more than juice, and Sugar optional, depending on what flavour you use. Fruit juice alsoine, but the fruit part of it melts off into a liquid leaving just white ice, if you don’t gulp it quick enough. I have yet to ask first ice cream expert his opinion, since I haven’t managed to serve him one of these yet.
