Sadly, the branch near my mum has been discontinuing my favorite flavors one-by-one: Fior di Latte, Crème Fraîche, Yogurt, Black Tea... I hesitate to mention my current favorites for fear they could be next!

But I need no longer mourn the demise of Crème Fraîche, as I've just made my very own batch, again using a recipe from David Lebovitz' The Perfect Scoop:
Amazingly, it has the same creamy texture, slightly sharp flavor, and smooth finish as the Pitango version. And while I'd always rather go to Pitango, I suppose I better start looking out recipes for some of my other favorites...just in case!
It looks delicious. I'm always in awe of your ice cream making skills.
ReplyDeleteKristina, words fail me - it's just as well you don't live next door to me or I'd be overdosing on ice cream! It always looks irresistible!
ReplyDeleteOoh sounds delicious.Black tea next?
ReplyDeleteFor a moment I thought that was a London shop that I'd never heard of. Probably just as well, really!
ReplyDeleteBoy those flavours sound wonderful esp Fior di Latte! You make an ice-cream maker sound like a must have for sure!
ReplyDeleteI need to pull my ice cream maker out! this looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think I might've picked a bad year to give up dairy.
ReplyDeleteThe flavour of Crème Fraîche ice cream is an acquired taste: not very sweet, but very tangy!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious! Welcome back. Cat x
