My Lime Sherbet And Ice Cream Memories Go Way Back

I remember as a young girl how excited my sisters and I would be when our Mom would go grocery shopping and buy a carton of ice cream or orange and lime sherbet. She would let us get a taste (1 little spoonful) of the ice cream straight out of the carton when she arrived home from the store.

The ice cream would have softened up a bit on the drive home, and boy was that first taste treat wonderful! Then into the freezer it would go, to firm up. Let me tell ya, the waiting until after dinner for a little scoop of ice cream OR lime sherbet took forever!

The Benefits To Having An INDOOR Ice Cream Maker

I personally can eat ice cream or sherbet any time of day, any season… Hmmm- this explains a lot. The cool part of having an indoor ice cream freezer that conveniently produces ice cream, or in this case, lime sherbet, in about 25 minutes.

It can be snowing or raining outside, and yet we can still quickly make ice cream without a trip to the store. Be very scared… Here’s a picture of the machine we use to wreak havoc on any diet we might be on!

This is my ice cream maker. We love it!

Why pay for a carton of lime sherbet at the grocery store (including all those funny sounding ingredients) when you can make it at home with only 3 main ingredients? I guess I’m just doing my part to save on gasoline expense, or the wear and tear on my tennis shoes. Yep… that’s it… it’s a self-less thing I do when I make homemade ice cream (ha ha).

Hope you’ll give this recipe a try. This lime sherbet has just the right amount of creamy, lime tartness and sweetness to make you love it!

A spoonful of freshly made lime sherbet.

Hope you will consider trying this delicious Lime Sherbet! Have a great day.

The Ice Cream Maker I Use

I love the convenience of my Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream and Sorbet Machine. NO- I am NOT compensated by the manufacturer for saying that…I just LOVE my ice cream maker!. There is no need for ice or rock salt. This machine just plugs into an electrical outlet, and goes to town making great ice cream ready to eat in about 20 minutes!

Time For Homemade Ice Cream

As the weather here in Oregon has begun to warm up, I’ve started getting excited to prepare homemade ice cream! There’s just something about enjoying a cold dish of homemade ice cream on a warm night!

I get inspired to drag out my trusty, beloved Cuisinart ice cream maker and get busy in the kitchen! It’s been fun making ice cream using this machine, because you do not need rock salt OR ice to freeze the ice cream. EASY PEASY!

This is the ice cream machine I used to make rocky road ice cream.

Why I LOVE Rocky Road Ice Cream!

I found this delicious recipe for homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream online at “Taste Of Home”.  The recipe sounded pretty “spot on”, so I decided to give it a try, and now it is one of my favorite homemade ice creams! Rocky road ice cream is a chocolate based ice cream, packed full of marshmallows, chocolate chips and pecans. Because of those yummy ingredients, it’s a real taste treat!

How Much Rocky Road Ice Cream Will This Recipe Make?

The original rocky road ice cream recipe makes just over 4 quarts (using a standard sized ice cream maker). Those are the ingredient quantities I have listed here in the printable recipe below.

When I made this rocky road ice cream, I simply halved the recipe to work in my smaller indoor ice cream maker. If you want to make the full recipe, simply refrigerate the extra until ready to freeze another batch later in the day or the next day!

The rocky road ice cream is now ready to eat!

Hope you enjoy making some great homemade ice cream this summer! It’s very simple to make, and is always a big hit with everyone who tries it! Have a great day, friends. Make it a GOOD one! Please come back soon for more delicious recipes.

Servings: 32 servings (4 quarts total)
Calories Per Serving: 407 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 3 cups half and half
  • 9 ounces semi-sweet chocolate , chopped
  • 2.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1,5 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1.5 cups miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 6 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Mix the milk and half and half in a large saucepan. Heat until the mixture is 175 degrees (do not boil!).
  2. Add the chopped chocolate, sugar and salt to the cream mixture, then stir until the sugar dissolves and the chocolate has melted.
  3. Remove pan from heat and cool it off quickly. Do this by placing the saucepan carefully in a large bowl of ice water, and stirring the mixture for a couple of minutes. When the ice cream mixture has cooled completely, pour it into a large bowl.

  4. Stir in the remaining ingredients. (Note: If using a smaller Cuisinart like mine, add the remaining ingredients in during the last 5 minutes of freezing time!). Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (you want it cold!)

  5. When ready to make the ice cream, fill the cylinder of your machine 2/3 full. Freeze, according to the manufacturer's instructions for your ice cream maker. If you need to make this in two batches, cover bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to freeze.

  6. Once the ice cream has frozen, transfer it to a freezer container. Ice cream will need to "ripen" and firm up in your freezer for 2-4 hours before serving.

Cuisine: American
Keyword: butter pecan ice cream
Servings: 12 (1/2 cup) servings (1.5 qts)
Calories Per Serving: 208 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup pecans , chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Half and Half
  • 1 cup brown sugar , packed
  • 2 eggs , lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a small skillet on low heat, toast the chopped pecans in the butter, stirring until lightly browned. This usually takes about 5-6 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter!
  2. Pour the Half and Half into a heavy saucepan. Heat this to 175 degrees, then stir in the brown sugar; stir until sugar has dissolved.
  3. Using a whisk, slowly drizzle a small amount of the hot cream into the eggs, whisking constantly. (This is how you "temper" the eggs, so they will not scramble when added to the hot cream mixture). Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture into the hot cream, whisking constantly the entire time you are adding it in.
  4. Cook and stir this over low heat until it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees. Mixture should be able to coat the back of a spoon when done.
  5. Remove the cream mixture from the stove. You want to cool this quickly. To do this: Place the pan in a large bowl of ice water; continue stirring for 2 minutes.
  6. Once cream mixture has cooled off, add the whipping cream and the vanilla extract.
  7. Take some plastic wrap and gently press it right onto the top surface of the ice cream mixture. Place the bowl of ice cream mixture in refrigerator for several hours, (you want it COLD) or overnight.
  8. When ready to freeze the ice cream, stir in the toasted, chopped pecans.
  9. Fill the canister of your ice cream freezer 2/3 full; freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, remove the ice cream to a freezer container and place in your freezer to "ripen" for at least 2-4 hours. This will help to firm up the ice cream. ENJOY!

Kiwi Mango Sorbet

Five simple ingredients are the only ingredients needed to make absolutely delicious Kiwi Mango Sorbet! It’s a refreshing frozen treat on hot summer days!Five simple ingredients are the only ingredients needed to make absolutely delicious Kiwi Mango Sorbet! A refreshing frozen treat on hot summer days!

A couple of years ago I was fortunate enough to receive a Cuisinart ice cream maker. Guess what I did over summer vacation? Most of the summer I tried out a large variety of ice cream recipes, including this one for Kiwi Mango Sorbet.

I dubbed it my “Summer Ice Cream Experiment” and am slowly adding the various recipes I experimented with to this blog. It is almost Spring and I find myself longing for warm and clear summer nights, sitting out on our deck with family and friends. We really enjoy these nights when we can- talking, laughing and enjoying a dish of homemade ice cream or sorbet until late in the evening. What a simple pleasure, but so wonderful!

Made A Slight “Tweak” To Another Recipe To Make Kiwi Mango Sorbet

This deliciously refreshing recipe originally was for mango sorbet, but I decided to tweak it slightly by using kiwis as the major component. Of course, I still threw in a fresh mango for good measure, and the sorbet results turned out even better than I had hoped for!

A bowl, with the kiwi mango sorbet in it.

Does It Take A Long Time To Make Kiwi Mango Sorbet?

The entire recipe from start to finish took about 35 minutes to make, and that’s not bad! Then I firmed the sorbet up some in our freezer before serving. This recipe makes a fairly small amount of kiwi mango sorbet, but it can be easily doubled or tripled!

An “inside” ice cream machine been a great addition to our home! (NO…I am not a spokeswoman for this company…I just love this product!) I know this recipe for kiwi mango sorbet would also work in any ice cream maker. This recipe could be doubled easily, for a larger ice cream freezer!

This is the ice cream maker I used to make the sorbet.Kiwi mango sorbet has great flavor, and truthfully is so easy to make with an indoor ice cream machine. Hope you enjoy this delicious frozen dessert! It’s really good! Have a great day.

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream is the PERFECT frozen treat! Blueberry sauce, cream cheese and graham cracker crumbles add to the taste!Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream is the PERFECT frozen treat! Blueberry sauce, cream cheese and graham cracker crumbles add to the taste!
It’s Winter (brr!) and guess what? I’m sharing a recipe today for homemade Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream (ironic, isn’t it?). However… ice cream is good any time of the year, right? THIS ice cream is absolutely amazing! Why? Because it’s beautiful and delicious, AND is there ever a reason to NOT have ice cream?!  I don’t think so… Two summers ago I received a new ice cream maker as a gift, and I’ve LOVED trying lots of delicious ice cream recipes since then.

Previously I made homemade ice cream outside in our trusty electric ice cream maker, loading the salt and ice in layers, then waiting and waiting. It always turned out wonderful, but was a bit time consuming and messy.

I LOVE My Indoor Ice Cream Machine!

I received a Cuisinart indoor ice cream maker for a birthday… and it has been a game-changer! Now it can be pouring down rain or snowing outside (not that it would EVER happen in Oregon-ha ha) and I can be in my warm little kitchen making ICE CREAM (I know…I’m shouting, but don’t we all scream for ice cream?) No salt or ice to add, and ready in approx. 25 minutes. Yeah…this little ice cream maker is convenient and dangerous (to my waistline).

“Summer Of the Great Ice Cream Experiment”

So…back to my story: I decided to call that summer the “Summer of the Great Ice Cream Experiment”. I tried a new recipe almost every week or two and posted the pics on Facebook. Check out my Recipe Index to see all the ice cream recipes I’ve posted, including Strawberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Peach, and Coffee!

Out of all the recipes I tried, this one was my favorite! I made a couple of changes to the original recipe to suit my taste, and voila! An instant “keeper”.

This blueberry cheesecake ice cream is filled with cheesecake flavor, mingled in with with the graham cracker crust swirls, and I must say, the blueberry sauce is amazing! Give this recipe a try…it will NOT disappoint! It’s a party for your mouth.

Note: I am posting the recipe the way I modified it for my 2 quart ice cream maker. I made the topping ingredients and graham cracker crust ingredients as per the original recipe (so I would have extras for storing in my freezer). Refer to original recipe if you are making it in full sized ice cream maker.

Making The Blueberry Sauce

A blueberry sauce is cooked to add to ice cream.

Making Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

A graham cracker mixture is made, then it is layered with the blueberry sauce onto the prepared ice cream…

Graham cracker crumbs are added to finished ice cream in a layer.

The ice cream is layered with graham cracker mixture, and the blueberry sauce. The blueberry cheesecake ice cream is then put into freezer to fully firm up and “ripen” for several hours.

Graham crackers crumbs and blueberry topping are layered in with the ice cream.

Now the blueberry cheesecake ice cream is almost ready to serve, after it has firmed up in the freezer. Now all that is left to do before serving is to top it with additional blueberry sauce and graham cracker mixture! That helps to make the presentation of the blueberry cheesecake ice cream look amazing, too!

Now the scoop of blueberry cheesecake ice cream just needs a topping.

Serving The Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

When you’re ready to serve, just add a little bit of additional toppings to make it pretty! A little spoonful of blueberry sauce, and a sprinkle of graham cracker mix finishes off the blueberry cheesecake ice cream beautifully! Isn’t it gorgeous??? Grab a spoon, and dig in!

The blueberry cheesecake ice cream is topped with blueberry sauce and graham cracker crumbles to serve.

I sure hope you will consider making this delicious dessert!  I’m confident you and your friends or family will really enjoy this yummy frozen treat! The only thing left to do is… grab a spoon, take a big bite, and ENJOY some Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream!

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream is the PERFECT frozen treat! Blueberry sauce, cream cheese and graham cracker crumbles add to the taste!

Category: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: blueberry cheesecake ice cream
Servings: 8 1/2 cup servings (2 quarts)
Calories Per Serving: 669 kcal
Author: JB @ The Grateful Girl Cooks!
Ingredients
For Blueberry Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
For Graham Cracker Mixture:
  • 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 36 squares)
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter , melted
For Ice Cream:
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz. package cream cheese , room temperature
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in the water until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the blueberries and the lemon juice, then bring this mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, then simmer (uncovered), for 5-6 minutes or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir mixture occasionally. Once the berry mixture has thickened, remove from heat. Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled. (I made this hours before making the ice cream)
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter and mix till combined. Pat this crumb mixture into an ungreased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the crumbs are lightly browned. When done, remove; cool mixture completely. (I did this ahead of time, as well). When the mixture is completely cooled off, crumble the graham cracker mixture and set aside.
  3. To make the ice cream: In a large bowl, beat all the ice cream ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved (you will have some small cream cheese lumps...this is okay). Fill the ice cream container (the FREEZING cold ice cream container) 2/3 full. Freeze as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. When ice cream is done, evenly disperse layers of ice cream, cooled and crumbled graham cracker mixture, and blueberry sauce 3 times. Remember to only use half of the crumbled graham crackers and berry sauce for this (it made extra, remember?) Remember to repeat the layers (for a total of 3 times).
  5. Layer 1: Ice Cream
  6. Layer 2: Graham Cracker Crumbles
  7. Layer 3: Blueberry Sauce
  8. Swirl through the layers with a knife, being sure to take the tip of the knife all the way to the bottom of the bowl or ice cream storage container you are using. Freeze for at least a couple of hours for the ice cream to "firm up".
  9. Once you are ready to serve, scoop it into serving dishes; lightly top each serving with a spoonful of the blueberry sauce and a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbles. Enjoy!

Southern Praline Sauce

Southern Praline Sauce, with toasted buttered pecans in a thick, decadent sweet syrup, is an easy and delicious dessert topping for ice cream or pound cake!Southern Praline Sauce / The Grateful Girl Cooks! Delicious sauce to use as topping for ice cream or pound cake.

Today I want to share a recipe for a rich, delicious Southern Praline Sauce that is a perfect accompaniment for ice cream. I know this for a fact, based on personal experience with butter pecan, peach, and vanilla ice cream (someone has to do it)..

Each Fall, my Mom orders fresh picked pecans from Green Tree Pecan Co. (in Texas), and sends each of us (her three daughters) several bags of pecans. Talk about a great gift. I use so many pecans in my baking, and especially enjoy using them to make my Christmas goodies each year! I was able to use those pecans for this delicious praline sauce.

Pecans used to make Southern Praline Sauce (and other desserts!).

Southern Praline Sauce Tastes GREAT Over Ice Cream

My husband and I were invited to a friends home for dinner and dessert, and I brought the dessert. I made some delicious homemade peach ice cream and covered it with Southern praline sauce! Wow, it was delicious!

At this point, I might add that this Southern praline sauce is so good, you will be tempted to eat it right out of the jar with a spoon (again-.personal experience).Give it a try, and see what I mean, because this sauce is so amazingly tasty!

Southern praline sauce is served over homemade peach ice cream.

How To Make The Sauce

Lightly “toast” chopped pecans  in a large skillet, with butter. This ensures a delicious, buttery pecan taste, which in my humble opinion, is ALWAYS a great place to start!

Chopped pecans for sauce lightly toasting in skillet for Southern praline sauce.

Add more butter, evaporated milk, brown sugar, flour and corn syrup to the toasted and buttered pecans. After they have cooked for several minutes, evaporated milk is added to the sauce.

Cook until you are left with a thick, buttery sauce that is so good it will make your eyes roll up in your head! Okay-not really. Your eyes will definitely NOT roll up in your head, but it’s THAT good! Once the sauce has thickened and cooked, remove the VERY HOT sauce from the stove, and let it cool down some before using.

Thick and buttery, this praline sauce is a perfect topping for ice cream!

Time For Southern Praline Sauce!

This decadent sauce is also can be used as a wonderful little gift when packaged in a jar with a gift tag and a cute ribbon. Then you’ll have a homemade gift, made with love, from your kitchen to a friend or colleague. The Southern praline sauce can be served at room temperature or reheated slightly in a microwave.

Southern praline sauce is served over ice cream, with a cookie on the side!

I really hope you will consider making this decadent Southern praline sauce. It is very versatile and can be used on many different desserts such as pound cake, pies, topping for cheesecake, etc. The possibilities are practically endless!  Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
