A friend of mine called me at the last minute and asked if I wanted to join her in an ice cream making class since one of her friends can't make it for personal reasons. My initial response to her was "You've hit me right at my Achillias heel, of course I'll HAVE to go now that I know it's ice cream. Damn you!" ... all in good fun of course.
The class was fun. Well ... anything would have been fun if it involves ice cream! The presenter was a lot of fun and totally in tune with the way I feel about the subject. She was talking about having granitas for breakfast and how her husband doesn't understand. It was like ... yeah! what's wrong with him???
Anyhow, she ended up making about 4 different kinds of frozen desserts. A basic vanilla ice cream using heavy cream and whole milk; a chocolate custard cream with bananas, peanut-butter, using egg yolks; a champagne sorbet; and an espresso granita with whipped cream topping.
All in all, very enjoyable. I picked up some rock salt for some impromptu ice cream making when I get home. Of course, that didn't happen since I forgot to pick up a large bag of ice as well. D'oh!
