Living Rawesome Day #346 Basil “Ice Cream” pg. 50 entertaining in the raw
July 5, 2010
I have become adventurous after eating one of the most interesting ice cream flavors. I am anxious to try this. I never would have thought about mixing basil into an ice cream base, but after trying the rosewater ice cream, I trust that this will be just as good.
The ice cream will go along side of a tart topped with Green Tomatoes. I think it will be interesting to have such a rare combination. It may just taste like an Italian tart and cream. I looked up basil ice cream and there are so many recipes of basil ice cream. Most of them involve eggs and heavy cream. According to one website, July 1 is Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. I would say this falls into that category. There is even a recipe for Bacon Brittle Ice Cream. I think I will stick to herbs. I guess you could make eggplant bacon and make the Bacon Brittle with that. Hey that might be something for the next book that Matthew and Meredith write. Until then, I am trying this out.
