No questions. Just to say that yesterday I tasted lavender & orange zest sorbet, it was delicious. Then I went ahead & had soy dark chocolate ice cream. It was a good day!

Hi Sara Kate, unfortunately I don't have an ice cream maker, which makes me very bitter (as in chocolate I guess:)! I just threw those ideas out there in case it might inspire others!! great contest, really wish I could enter..!

Leeds - you CAN! There are ways of making ice cream w/o an ice cream maker. Take a look at Nigella Lawson's recipe for bitter orange ice cream as an example:

Sara Kate,

Now you've got my brain on overdrive...I didn't know that an ice cream maker wasn't mandatory!

ICE CREAM MAKERS AREN'T MANDATORY!! Come one, come all! There was ice cream long before there were ice cream makers.

Sara Kate,
Any tips on how one would make ripples in ice cream (using a machine). I'm thinking peanut butter ripples or fudge, but don't want it fully incorporated into the ice cream. Can you pass on advice? Thanks!

Kate,

Put the ice cream through the machine process without the ripple ingredients until it's frozen, but not frozen hard, then stir in the fudge or whatever it is that you're rippling. Then hard-freeze before serving.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I opened my e-mail this morning and found this had been sent to me (how'd they know?) -

Which is on creating your own frozen treats without an ice cream machine. Had to share!
