I dont't like anything that's way too sweet either as I prefer to give my palate a chance to indulge itself with the other flavours too.
ReplyDeleteButtermilk ice cream would really work for me. Great photos too Emiline!
I've been tossing up whether or not to buy an icecream maker for months - this looks so delicious that you are tipping me into thinking "I must have one!"
ReplyDeleteI just love homemade icecream & I like to make my own too. I have a little icecream maker and it turns out wonderful. I have bookmarked this recipe to try it does look and sound so scrummy, thanks for sharing :)

Emi, it's creamy art. This ice cream would have been the bomb with black speckles from a vanilla bean in it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That looks sooo good. I've been craving a littl eice cream every night lately. It's a baseball season thing. I may have to make some if this! :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Ice Cream Season. I can tell this year's going to be a good one ;)
ReplyDeletei'm quite the ice cream aficionado myself, but i haven't invested in an ice cream maker yet. i'm afraid i would abuse it. :)
ReplyDeletenice sound of music reference. now that song'll be stuck in my head all day...and that's okay.
I think the buttermilk would be a great addition. I have no room in my tiny refrigerator freezer for my ice cream bucket so no ice cream making for me...got to get a freezer:D
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...just the word "buttermilk" makes me think of something pure and homemade. I bet the tangy flavor is perfect in this ice cream.
ReplyDeleteEmiline, I simply love ice cream but have never made my own. This looks so good, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI am an ice cream fanatic. I'd be embarrassed to say how many pints of Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry's have been gracing our freezer. But you really need to try the new Haagen Dazs Fleur de Sel Caramel - it is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried buttermilk ice cream, but it sounds wonderful! I bought an ice cream maker last summer, and it is one kitchen item that I am very happy to own!
I LOVE making homemade ice cream. And you're right, chilling it overnight gives the best texture. Sometimes I'm impatient and just let it chill for a few hours, and it always turns out too soft, so that it really kind of ends up freezing in the freezer, which is never good.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Ice Cream is a year round event. Your's looks so rich and creamy, I'm with cakelaw, I must have one!
ReplyDeleteEmiline that looks soooooo good. I love making my own home-made ice cream. I can't wait for summer to arrive so I can get started. You'd probably love The Perfect Scoop: Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, and Sweet Accessories by David Lebovitz. It's a must have book, check it out!

This sounds soooo good! We have an ancient (from the 70's lol) ice cream maker that uses ice and salt. How I long for a more contemporary model. Mine sounds like a train barreling down the tracks when we plug it in. But, when you want fresh, homemade ice cream or sherbet you have got to do what you can to get it, you know?
ReplyDeleteJeez...that not only sounds good, it looks good! Though unfortunately it doesn't sound so good for you. Yum though!
ReplyDeleteIt's getting so hot here in AZ, I am soooo ready for ice cream season! Your homemade ice cream is beautiful. I love all of your pics! Very nice and creamy.
ReplyDeleteIce cream season is year round for me too, I love it and love making my own. That buttermilk would definitely be good with lemon and blueberries!
ReplyDeleteOh Em, I want some. Dont you just love making your own ice cream. My problem is that I forget to put the bowl part in the freezer< so its not on hand when I'm in the mood to make some.Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI eat ice cream year round too.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those ice cream makers that takes the rock salt. I really want one of the newer models.
Ooh, it looks elegant in the first shot. You're the second blogger today, convincing me I need an ice cream maker.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try a buttermilk ice cream. I have bookmarked quite a collection of ice cream recipes to try during ice cream season and I am looking forward to it. :)
ReplyDeleteIce cream is one of my all time favorite things to have. I always have to have it, or else I'd go insane. :P
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ice cream store I loved to go to as a kid was Marble Slab Creamery. If you've heard of it, I don't know, but, it was amazing.
And this sounds really, really good. Just the name says delicious in it. Looks wonderful.
I so miss Ted Drew's. That's the best frozen custard and one of the few things I miss from living in St. Louis! I will definitely mark your ice cream to make at a later date!
ReplyDeleteWow that does look amazingly creamy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, homemade ice cream is the way to go. This batch looks particulary delicious.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, i tried the million $ peanut butter cookies the other day - your recipe! They were a big success at big bossman's house. You can take my job anytime. :-)
I'm with you. I like sweets, but not overly so.
ReplyDeleteI have never made ice cream. I don't even own an ice cream maker. But when I do, I'm using your recipe first.
ooooh it looks so good and partially melted in the pictures that I'm sitting here fantasizing about having it in my mouth...
ReplyDeletemmmmmm and I can taste the buttermilk... and the lemon and blueberry idea sounds so amazing. I really need to steal my ice cream maker back from my parents.
There's nothing like a bowl of simple, pure ice cream to cool off a hot summer (or spring) day :0)
ReplyDeleteIf Häagen-Dazs is a smart company, then they WILL hire you, Emiline!! Your ice cream-making skills and passion for it are uncanny!
Emil, I have always wondered about buttermilk ice cream because I see recipes for it quite often in my cookbooks. Thank you for explaining how buttermilk affects the flavor and texture. Also, I had no idea about freezing the ice cream before processing! WoW! I learned oodles from your blog. . .Hugs,
ReplyDeleteShandy
Emiline this Ice cream looks wonderful and I love ice cream almost every time, I will try this soon!!!!! Lovely pictures!!!! xGloria
ReplyDeleteI like my ice cream sweet, not sweet whatever! And yours looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of Andy's before, but their ice cream sounds awesome. I went to their website and saw that they're a franchise. But the form for information was way too long and my ice cream (sadly, not theirs) was melting.
8 egg yolks? hello!
ReplyDeletethis sounds excellent, especially the lemon-and-blueberry variation. i just realized 30 seconds ago that the bowl of my ice cream maker is NOT in the freezer. blah.
Deborah- That ice cream sounds really good. That reminds me-we have a towel hook in the bathroom, and it says Fleui de lis. It came from the Dollar Store though.
ReplyDeleteToontz- I prefer that kind of maker. It's just more work. Better ice cream!
Glamah- I do that too!
Tarah- We have a Cold Stone Creamery. I've never been to it.
Mary- Yay! You're from MO.
Zen- Glad the cookies worked for you.
Michelle- Yeah, it's pretty custardy.
Your Ice cream rocks Emiline! The buttermilk certainly adds another dimension to this version. I admire you for making your own!
ReplyDeleteI too am obsessed with ice cream. This post really makes me miss my ice cream maker that I had to leave behind while on my travels. I've consdired trying to make a batch with just whisk, freezer and a free afternoon. The buttermilk sounds great, but a little to cream-heavy for my taste.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the lemon zest and berries, consider topping with a dash of salt? yes, of the flaked variety. and shaved cocoa too
Hey,
ReplyDeletelast summer I made a buttermilk ice cream and also made baked figs with lemon and vanilla bean it rocked! It was from a southern cookbook I have.
Yummy! There's nothing better than homemade ice cream.
ReplyDeleteIf I was Mr. Haggen Daz, I would hire you!!!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of making my own ice cream is fascinating! But, girl... I'm not burning my calories at the same speed you do!!!! :D
Ooh we're going to have to try out your recipe...we love ice cream year round too and there is nothing like homemade. Haven't tried making Buttermilk yet, can't wait!
