I Found My Thrill





I've had this recipe for Blueberry Gelato bookmarked for over a month now, and I finally got to give it a whirl. I'm an ice cream connoisseur, but if anything can topple my love for ice cream, it's gelato. Creamier, prettier, and less fat! Can I get an amen?!

The deliciously subtle blueberry flavor played off the tart lime accent beautifully. It was extremely simple and mixed up very well in our ice cream maker. Wouldn't the color make a beautiful couch or something? I'll for sure make the blueberry flavor again, but I'm itching to try a few other kinds first.

Top Three: Flavors of Gelato I Really Want To Make
1. Caramelized Pear
2. Peach Raspberry
3. Avocado

I know, the last one sounds totally bizarre, but at the same time, incredibly appealing (to me, at least).
Thanks, as always, to Rachel for feeding (pun) my love of trying new foods.

I'm not a huge ice cream eater, but gelato? I can't get enough of it because the fruity flavours are so crisp and delectable! Maybe I should invest in my own ice cream maker to make myself loads of gelato at home!

Mmmm, that sounds delish! I've never made ice cream before, I think it would be a total disaster. Avocado ice cream? Bring it on!

Wow that looks absolutely amazing. Love the color.

The caramelized pear sounds really interesting. I'm very intrigued.

I approve of avocado gelato mostly because it sort-of-rhymes.
