I Scream, You Scream…

Who doesn’t like ice cream?

But when somebody mentions they’re gonna go into experimental lock-down mode in the kitchen so as to concoct a Ben & Jerry’s style “throw everything in that isn’t nailed down” haroset flavor, my eyebrow lifts in consternation.

Adloyada bought an ice cream maker last year. And she has been workin’ it. Now…

On the second night, I’m going to G’s family Seder. They’re going to have a meat meal. So if I want to make them some charoses ice cream to add to their meal, what can I make it with? The soya cream I usually use for parev ice cream won’t do for Pesach, as it’s not kosher-for-Pesach for us Ashkenazis. Ah…but how about coconut milk? Or even coconut cream? I’ve been inspired by looking at this site of a US based luxury coconut ice cream maker. The problem, though, is that in England you can’t get kosher-le-Pesach coconut milk.

No, I’m not going to let that defeat me. I’m going to work on a dummy run … using ordinary coconut milk. Once I get that right, I shall make my own coconut cream from real coconuts. And Google‘s found me a convincing looking recipe on how to do that without gouging myself to bits trying to get the coconut flesh out of its shell. S and P are coming round for Erev Shabbos dinner, so I’ll have the most discerning taste testers you can get.

Dying for that recipe? Head to Adloyada’s site….Royal Taster! Get ye to the Galley!
