Ice cream, parfait, sorbet, gelato, granita and sherbet – we love a frozen sweet treat whether it’s creamy, fruity, icy or smooth. Here are some of my favourite ice cream recipes and recipes for other frozen treats.
Philadelphia-Style Ice Cream Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class featuring the food of America’s Deep South! While classic French ice cream has a crème Anglaise egg custard base (see video below), quick and easy Philadelphia-style ice cream doesn’t contain egg. Sometimes called American ice cream or New York ice cream, Philly-style ice […]
Black Truffle Ice Cream Like truffles? Join me for a hands-on truffle hunting food & wine weekend! One of the best ice creams I’ve ever tasted was made by Tim Pak Poy at Claude’s in Woollahra in the early 2000s when Australia’s first truffles were harvested. It was flavoured with violets and black truffle. Inspired […]
Paloudeh Talebi (Rockmelon Slushie) Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Persian cooking class! Paloudeh talebi are rockmelon slushies sold by street vendors and made in homes throughout summer in Iran; paloudeh is a variation of the word faloodeh, Persia’s famous rose water, lime and noodle granita. These Persian rockmelon slushies can be simply fresh […]

Pomegranate Sorbet Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Italian cooking class featuring the food of Sardinia! I love this Italian pomegranate sorbet – and the Italian name for pomegranates, melograno meaning ‘many seeds’. It’s so appropriate for this jewel-like fruit. This simple pomegranate sorbetto, with its balanced sweet/sour flavour from the pomegranate juice, lemon […]
Mango Lassi Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Indian cooking class inspired by Ajoy Joshi! Sometimes made with buttermilk instead of, or as well as, yoghurt, lassi is a refreshing drink that can be served for breakfast or as a snack at any time. It can be flavoured with pureed fruit such as mango […]
Coffee Granita Join my food & wine tour to Southern Italy to discover more Italian regional specialties! My favourite dessert at MG Garage – in fact perhaps my favourite dessert of all time – was coffee granita with chocolate mousse. When chef Janni Kyritsis and I wrote Wild Weed Pie, we did a whole section […]
Pink Grapefruit & Passionfruit Ice Cream Like this recipe?Master more frozen desserts here! This pink grapefruit and passionfruit ice cream is a variation on a sherbet recipe I make with all sorts of different fruits. I like the tang of grapefruit with the sweetness of passionfruit – a combination I came up with to try […]
Deep-Fried Ice Cream Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Chinese cooking class! Like most Anglo-Celtic Aussies growing up in the 1970s, Chinese was the first foreign food I ever tasted and, at the time, frying ice cream was about as exotic a thing as I could imagine. Thankfully Chinese food in Australia has come […]
Raspberry Lime Sherbet Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet! I love the way good basic recipes can be rejigged to suit different occasions and ingredients.
