Living Rawesome Day #345 Raspberry Leaf-Infused Cherry Sauce and Rosewater “Ice Cream” pg. 115 entertaining in the raw
July 4, 2010
I just got back from celebrating the 4th of July with all of my family at my parent’s house. It was a relaxing and fun filled day. We had a nice dinner, I made raw pizzas and barbeque sauce. I have to say that the sauce was not as good as I wanted it to be. It was edible, but not the best.
My sister made a beautiful American Flag out of blueberries, strawberries and bananas. It turned out so adorable.
Even Sabby enjoyed it, he loves fruit.
I made the Cherry Sauce tonight when I got home. I had no idea that the flavor of this cherry sauce with the rosewater ice cream would enhance the flavor so much. It brought me to total Bliss. I didn’t want to stop eating it. I had a serving of 3 small scoops of ice cream with the sauce. The rosewater ice cream was really pleasant without the sauce, BUT, with the Cherry Sauce added, it sets this ice cream over the top! I highly recommend this dessert. It would be perfect for a gathering of friends that like gourmet ice cream. It is unlike any ice cream I have ever eaten.
Matthew Kenney is a pure genius! I love how he enhances his recipes. This ice cream became dazzling with just 3 simple ingredients! Ahhh, I can’t say enough about it. It will be hard to decide which of the recipes are my favorite after making all of them.
Cherry Sauce Ingredients
fresh cherries
agave
raspberry leaf extract
I put the ingredients into Vita-Mix and blended until smooth.
I still have plenty of ice cream and sauce left. I am debating if I should even make the citrus tart again. I know it wasn’t the complete recipe at once, but all parts are made. I don’t know if this ice cream can get any better! The Citrus Tart was one of my favorite recipes too. The combination of the tart, ice cream, and sauce may set me into a dizzy dessert frenzy.
I will talk to Jason about it, maybe he will tell me what I should do. Make it, or not?!
I am off to sleep, I am exhausted. It’s been a long weekend.
