My blog post today will be short and sweet. I love chocolate. I love peanut butter. If I could pick two foods to eat on a dessert island, these would be my foods. So I decided to make a scoop that uses both ingredients.
Blueberry Mojito Sorbet
This sorbet is seriously one of my best scoop creations yet. Fruity, full of citrus, with a hint of mint, and smack of rum, this sorbet tastes exactly like the real thing. If you live in New Orleans (like me) you may have visited the St. Joe’s bar from which this sorbet is inspired. At this bar they muddle fresh blueberries and mint into mix of sugar and alcohol for a truly refreshing drink. With all of the blueberries in my fridge after picking my own, how could I pass up the opporutunity to make an equally refreshing scoop?
Lavender Honey Ice Cream
Lavender is one of my favorite flowers. The scent is calming and soothing, sweet and gentle. A few years ago I had the opportunity to tour a lavender farm in Maui and it was an enlightening and relaxing experience.
