Since dinner will be after church, I want something I can prepare beforehand–as in DAYS ahead of time. But my relatively new blogging addiction has me thinking about dessert already. Normally I don’t think about Easter dinner anytime before Good Friday. Make the pecan ice cream balls ahead of time and reheat the fudge sauce at the last minute. Looking for a make-ahead dessert? You’re set if you have room in your freezer and a gallon of ice cream. I don’t really think ANYONE can compare to this exquisite talent, mom.As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. AND… i cannot complain with the treat of getting to taste test ALL of your delicious homemade ice cream for breakfast? can i? NO!!! so, it’s all good.Īnd i MUST comment on your photographs! they are SO cool! i love love love the idea of the full cones, half-eaten, and empty. he loves making funny faces and is very used to me displaying them all over my blog. do i have to really have ONE?ĭon’t worry, i showed this post to aaron and he grinned at his debut on your post. Soooo you would ask me, what is my favorite? i would say: pistachio, salted caramel and rhubarb… oh, but also cherry, and raspberry, and vanilla… OH and saskatoon. i would always brag to my friend’s about this ‘ice bowl’ and they would always reply “HOW IN THE WORLD does she do that?” nice job momsey! I LOVE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM and most especially, THE ICE BOWL! i can always remember it making an appearance- at g&g’s 50th, birthdays, and several other summer parties. that is dedication… i still cannot believe that it took me 8mo to finally post my wedding!!!Īnyhow. mom, i love how much time you spend with each post. We are so proud of our new son-in-law! Even with his double Ivy League University Master degrees, he can still look really silly eating ice cream! I usually start a week to five days prior to the event and the day before the event, fill it with all of the ice cream balls but the ones that will crown the top! Forty eight hours in advance is the minimum amount of time needed to make an ice bowl. However, I always make it in enough time to make another, should something happen. The other is releasing the ice from the mould: letting it set for about 15 minutes and then removing the bowls carefully works almost every time. Keeping the mould bowls level is one important aspect of making a simple ice bowl. Which do you like the best? Can you tell which flavour this one is? Ragan and I also played with the miniature cones an evening before the party. Below, some are sitting on a bed or flash frozen Saskatoon Berries that are ready to be bagged. Making the balls is a process that must be done very quickly to keep the appearance of the ice cream in its frozen and freshly scooped appearance. I do not do this on the few at top as it looks better and they are the ones used shortly after the bowl is presented, so there is no problem with them melting. Before placing them in the presentation bowl, I place a wee bit of plastic wrap under each ball to avoid them melting into one another during the event. Just look at the icy fantasy below.Īfter making each ice cream, I let it cure in the freezer about 24 hours prior to the event, I shape the balls and freeze them individually on a parchment lined cookie sheet to again cure them. I love to taste, but there are so many aspects to this kind of food preparation that I enjoy more than the eating. However, I get so much pleasure from the presentation and the preparation that eating is definitely not the best part for me. Lauren and I had such fun taking photos of the spectrum of these little creamy delights. Usually it bares its glory on a pedestal in the central spot on the dessert table. This particular day was fried-egg-on-sidewalk hot, so I placed the ice-bowl into a bed of ice to keep it chilled. What a lovely sight: Vanilla, Rhubarb, Evans Cherry, Raspberry, Pistachio, Saskatoon Berry and Salted Caramel. The bowl filled with the ice cream was sitting just under our sweet peas. The fragrance is gorgeous and they are usually in full bloom for my birthday. Sweetpeas are my favourite summer flower. However, this is the first year that I have had enough fruit to grow my own flavourings, too! Can you see the miniature ice cream cones in a bowl, above? The past several years, I have been making my own ice creams. I made this for special occasion birthdays and summer parties through the years. I would make it in June and keep it for August and fill it again. Pink Lemonade Cupcakes, Mom’s Famous Angel Food Cake, and Mini Chocolate Potsīoth daughters have summer birthdays: one in June and one in August.
