The latest Bloggers Scream For Ice Cream challenge was open for two months and had a wide open theme of Anything Goes. Here’s the round up of everyone’s tempting creations:
I love the pretty pastel of this Strawberry Vanilla Bean Coconut Ice from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary. Although her ice cream machine died last year, Elizabeth has the same power blender I do (see my post here for more about the Optimum 9400 Blender). Eschewing the high-fat, high-sugar recipes she found online, Elizabeth developed a healthy alternative using coconut milk, vanilla, frozen strawberries and maple syrup. It was so good her family and friends deemed it the best ice cream she’s ever made!
Manion is definitely a blogger after my own heart – I love bourbon and I love brown sugar! In Manion’s case, this combination is also the name of her blog! Her Bourbon and Brown Sugar Ice Cream is a non-churn recipe, which is a technique I use regularly too. Win win! When you visit her blog, check out her recent recipe for ginger cookies – I reckon an ice cream sandwich of this ice cream between those cookies could be a match made in heaven!
Two bourbons in a row? Don’t mind if I do! The idea for my Burnt Apple & Bourbon Ice Cream came directly from a recipe I spotted on my beloved Pinterest but I developed my own version with a different ice cream base and pushing the apple roasting farther for an edge of bitterness against the sweetness of the custard. Not only is it delicious, the spiced fruit gives it an unexpectedly Christmassy flavour profile.
Kate, the Gluten free alchemist, used the last of her home grown rhubarb to make this Rhubarb, Blueberry & Honey No Churn recipe, and preserve the summer for just a little longer. There’s also a little pomegranate syrup in the mix too, which must surely give a wonderful depth of flavour. It may be dark outside but this pretty pink ice cream is the perfect antidote!
Laura lives up to her blog name, how to cook good good, by translating a classic combination into ice cream. Her Figs and Honey Ice Cream was inspired by the Mascarpone figue she and her husband so enjoyed in South West France this year.

What a fantastic collection of ice cream recipes! Loving the sound of that last one in the round up… goodness me!
Yes, lots of lovely ideas – as always, I want to try all of them!
I think ice cream is one of the best ways to try out new flavour combinations and there are many here I would love to enjoy but most of all Monica’s zabaglione!
Yes, it sounds so good doesn’t it!
I die for that fig ice cream! Great round up! Sorry I couldn’t play this month.
Me too, love figs in ice cream!
