If it’s Tuesday, then I’m baking with Dorie. But… this week, a funny thing happened on the way to TwD…
This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie host was Dolores of Chronicles of Culinary Curiosity who selected the Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream recipe. I love ice cream… and I love making ice cream at home. Since getting my Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker attachment for my stand mixer a couple of months ago I’ve made several different kinds. Vanilla Custard, Mint Chocolate Chip, Strawberry, Bubble Gum, Coffee, Orange Pineapple and even a Lemon Sorbet. So let there be no question as to my love of making home-made ice cream :) I wanted to make the blueberry sour cream ice cream… really, I did. But for a variety of reasons it just wasn’t going to happen.
First problem… I didn’t have blueberries. Trying to be supportive of this week’s TwD recipe, I considered using a different berry since I had a bunch of strawberries from another recipe I just made. I seriously toyed with the idea of strawberry sour-cream ice cream. Then came the second problem… I didn’t have sour-cream. Not only didn’t I have it… I don’t like it… no one in our family likes it and that was a much bigger issue. I thought about just omitting the sour-cream but wasn’t sure how that would work out.
While perusing the net I found a variation on blueberry ice cream… blueberry cheesecake ice cream. Oh do I love cheesecake ice cream…. ohhh-boyyy do I :) :) But I didn’t have fresh blueberries… only strawberries… so in the final analysis that’s how this week I ended up making strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Hey, it’s TwD… sorta ;-)
The recipe I used can be found here and I only made about 1/4th of the recipe since I didn’t want too much of this on hand. Some things are just way too tempting. The result was most excellent and I will definitely make this again!!! It’s smooth and creamy like egg-based custard but without all the time and hassle. My good friend and best-baking-buddy Jamie did her own version of this recipe which you can check out on her blog here. Guess you could say we’re both just a couple of TwD “rebels” this week ;-)
Check out the results of the rest of the Tuesdays with Dorie crew… they made some great looking Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream!
Have a delicious day :)
Strawberry Cheesecake icecream TWD style! that looks gorgeous! must taste even better.
It’s funny how sometimes we avoid the stuff that we don’t like.
What a wonderful twist to the recipe. I love the result – it looks pretty and delicious!
Glad you still made some ice cream. Yours looks great! I have a lot of strawberries in my freezer. I better make this!
Looks delicious…and we are some rebels!! LOL
Oh wow that looks ridiculously good. Seriously. Ridiculous. I would buy a quart of that right now if I saw it.
wow, that looks gorgeous! Even if it only tasted half as good as it looks, it would be delicious! I am impressed!
Wow! That looks so yummy!
This looks wonderful! I love that flavor combination!
Wow, even if that’s not TWD, it’s amazing. Gorgeous.
You gotta work with what you have!!!And this looks mighty tasty my friend!
mmmmm i love cheesecake too! love your variation
i don’t like sour cream either. not by itself. but i will eat things w/sour cream in it. like this ice cream. or beef stroganoff…
Rebel or no, your ice cream sounds (and looks like) heaven! Well done!
I’ve made the blueberry sour cream ice cream in the past and I’ve actually made it with strawberries too and it’s fantastic! However, if you don’t like sour cream to begin with, I could see that as being a problem…
TWD or no TWD, I would eat the heck out of that ice cream! Thanks for the kind words and the excellent idea for a future ice cream!
MMMM…strawberry cheesecake Ice cream. I love it, and yours is lovely.
Oh boy…looks dangerous! I so want to try this one. Looks awesome.
sounds awesome, maybe even better than the original!!
Oh my! Fresh strawberries AND cheesecake together in one. Can it get any better than that? I’m going to think of it as “healthy” ice cream, too, because of the fruit in it. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. ;)
