(#45) DULCHE DE LECHE:Featuring Five-Spice

We put an asian twist on the oh-so-popular salted caramel ice cream. We kicked it up a notch by switching out the salt for 5-spice and the plain old caramel for creamy dulce de leche. The caramel pairs so well with the warm spices making this flavor reminiscent of your favorite autumnal pie.  We're keeping this recipe a little sweet secret for now, but we hope you enjoy the photo for the time being!

(#42) GINGER: Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice!

It's not easy to get a well-balanced Ginger ice cream!  But we found the right recipe after experimenting and making this flavor several times.  This would be best paired with a light and sweet asian pastry!

Scoopsies' Ginger Ice Cream

  1 1/2 cups cream

1 cup milk

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

pinch of salt

3/4 cup fresh ginger

5 egg yolks

zest 1 lemon

1/8 cup fresh lemon

1/2 TBL honey

(#41) DRAGON FRUIT: Cooking With Cacti

Dragon fruit is the first in our series of asian-inspired flavors.  We took a trip to Chinatown to pick up some fresh fruit and spices and came up with five of our best flavors yet! 

You might not guess dragon fruit would make a good ice cream flavor, but we were pleasantly surprised with the subtly sweet outcome.  

We used pink and red dragon fruits (or "pitahayas") in our recipe.

Each fruit was only $1 each -- a STEAL (compared to $6/each at Whole Foods!) Thanks, Chinatown!

Scoopsies' Dragon Fruit Ice Cream

3 cups dragon fruit 
2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup whole milk
3 large egg yolks
2 large whole eggs

1/4 tsp guar powder
1/8 teaspoon salt

(#35) GREEN TEA: Mix & Matcha, Ice Cream & Mochi

We made this flavor four times before we got a perfectly balanced green tea ice cream.  Smooth, creamy, and light--our top flavor in the texture department.  

Make sure to use an imported good quality matcha powder.

As if we could make green tea ice cream without making mochi...

1 1/2 cups whole milk
