It's Time for Ice Cream🍦
Desserts for a heat wave!
The hottest days of summer call for ice cream! And all you need for a simple, tasty homemade treat is a good ice cream base. My recipe for vanilla custard ice cream is easy, delicious and has wonderful flavor for all your favorite ice cream pairings. Find it here, along with my other favorite ice cream recipes. Or try some of these favorites:
Few flavors can beat strawberry ice cream—bonus points for using fresh strawberries!
When fresh corn season rolls around, my sweet corn ice cream can’t be beat.
You can still make this delicious and fun red, white and blue baked Alaska, even after the fourth!

Here are a few recipes from my exclusive Recipe Index for paid subscribers that might fit your menu this time of year.
Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches: These are so easy to pull together! Get your favorite cookies, your favorite ice cream and some sprinkles and you have a festive dessert for a get-together or any old summer day.
Molly Yeh’s Modern Jello Mould: The flavors and colors of this dessert salad are surprising and fully Molly. She always plays with unique combinations of the flavors she grew up with, plus those from the Sweet Farm she now lives on in the Midwest. Adding coconut milk to pomegranate in a jello mold is not something you’d typically find in a church basement, until now. It is bright, creamy, gorgeous, and worthy of a party or just a fun weekend at home with your family.
Christine Nguyen’s Vietnamese Che: In an episode of Zoë Bakes, Christina, a James Beard award-winning chef and owner of two Minneapolis restaurants shows me how to make this Vietnamese chilled dessert soup called “che.” Che is something Christina has been eating since she was a kid, going out for pho with her family every Sunday followed by a refreshing bowl of che. We are so lucky that she shared this amazing recipe with us!
Hi Zoe, I've made lots of ice creams, and lately I tried one with 7 yolks (normally I use 4) and found it rich and luxurious, however, when I took it out of the freezer (each time) it smelled of sulfur. So my question is in regards to your custard having 10 yolks - have you ever experienced that? Love the fermenting idea also. Can the fermenting be done when I've already added my flavouring or only when its at the custard stage? i do lots of fruit based ice creams.
Had my first pot of Mom's Blend today. Fantastic! Thanks and congrats to Henri!
