Apparently Santa was a bit distracted this year because I had a sweet Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker waiting for me under the tree yesterday morning. Fittingly, we've also come to the week we made ice cream and sorbet in class. I kind of was expecting they'd make us stir the ice cream for 3 hours while standing in the walk-in freezer, ya know, to build character. But surprisingly they let us use the machines as well. So, it was a bit hard to f*ck up this one.
But, never one to disappoint, I decided to add some real class to this lesson. Why make coffee ice cream when you can make COFFEE OREO ice cream? I think our instructor was a bit disgusted when I ran across the street in my chef's uniform to buy oreos from a gas station (ok ok and admittedly some Doritos). Oh well, it was deeelicious. I also faced my fears and revisited the evil cigarette cookies of weeks past. Luckily, my fingertips were a bit less seared this time around!
We also made some cherry sorbet. Betc thinks I have a future in food design/photography because I really know how to 'tart up' our desserts. I'll take that as a compliment!
Now that I'm the proud owner of my own ice cream maker, first up on the list is incorporating my beloved Tim Tam into a new flavor. Who else some some yummy requests/ideas? And an important follow-up question: who is going to arrive at my door to pry the tubs of ice cream from my cold, chubby hands??
