Ice Cream Machine

This recipe is an accompaniment for Pear-Cranberry Crisp with Cinnamon Ice Cream.

Regular oranges work just as well, but they won't impart the same fiery sunset color.

Though perfectly delicious on its own, this ice cream also makes a great accompaniment to spiced apple cake or caramelized apple crêpes. Active time: 25 min Start to finish: 12 hr

With a texture somewhere between ice cream and sorbet, this dessert has a slightly tangy flavor all its own.

For a quick and easy version, just stir one cup of praline into a one-quart tub of vanilla ice cream that has been softened slightly.

Present these light sorbets in tall glasses, and garnish each dessert with large pieces of the pine nut brittle for a dramatic effect.

A pretty, pale pink sorbet enhanced with a splash of Champagne.

(GLACES AUX TROIS PARFUMS) These lavender, honey-saffron and nougat ice creams show off true Provençal flavors.

Be sure to use extra-ripe mangoes when preparing this rich, creamy dessert.

I recommend that you strain the blackberry mixture, because the little seeds will only get caught in your teeth.

You'll need a candy thermometer to monitor the fudge sauce and the marshmallows.

A modern version of a childhood favorite.
