A pirates life for me!, Captain sweet tooth, Holiday Celebrate

Lavender Honey Ice Cream!

Cassandra D'Kay

Yesterday was NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY!  As if Americans needed a reason to celebrate Ice Cream. I’m not too much of a fan of the sweets but my crew sure is. Hence, the minion and I created a savory sweet treat to stick in their mutinous face holes.  I have always wanted to try lavender ice cream, but I never thought to use ricotta too! Then I saw Giada De Laurentiis do it and it looked sexy as fuck.  I thought it would be more time consuming than it was… but then I remembered… I HAVE A MOTHER FUCKING ICE CREAM MACHINE! Huzzah! So I dug out the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and we had an accord. I found several recipes for lavender ice cream but I always end up making my own version anyway…would you like to see it… well, here it is: 

……in-greed-ients:

  • 2 drops of Doterra LAVENDER essential oil (it’s cheaper if purchased through a sales rep…like myself)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (lick spoon now)
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • electric purple food coloring- depends on how purple you want it

……..Creamy magic:

  1. Must have ice cream maker “ice pot” in the freezer for at least 24 hours prior to making ice cream
  2. mix first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer for 2 min
  3. add next 3 ingredients and….
  4. whip it, whip it good

  6. pour the mixture into the pot and place the churn tool in and put the lid on. Flip the switch and watch your creation come to life in 20-30 min. –

This creamy badassery gets more solid the longer it is in the freezer so if it is still a little soft serve-y just pop the “ice pot” in the freezer with cling wrap over it, for a few. Everyone has there spoon in my pot today, I can’t blame them. Even I am indulging… right after breakfast… I needed a hit. SOMEONE lost my fancy schmancy ice cream scooper so a mellon baller makes cute little balls just fine. I placed my ice cream on top of a warm chia cinnamon pancake and sprinkled it with coconut shavings and chia seeds….. because cones are for kids. I am a grown ass wench and have pallet needs that have surpassed my crews.  So get creative and make it your own! Savy?!

First things first, I'm a realist. I am one tattooed mother, a "pin up" wife, with the mouth of a pirate, the mind of a Virgo, and heart of a foodie. I am a Part time caterer, meal prep service & pop up dinner chef, part time candle maker, and hot sauce maker and reviewer. I also work for "The Man" full time in the oil and gas industry. I am a wearer of costumes, planner of parties, tripper of roads, mixer of cocktails, and slave to my animals. I might not be every ones cup of tea, but I'd rather be a few peoples shot of rum anyway. Fore warning: I write like I speak, i'm kind of vulgar. I over use unnecessary punctuation all. The. Damn. Time! I'm blogging because everyone I know said it's the next thing to do after you flood IG, Pinterest, and FB with food pics and cooking memes. If you want to read about a slightly funny, real life person, cooking what ever the fuck is in the fridge, theme nights, skull food, hot sauce reviews and a lot of badass brunch.... While also talking shit to in animate objects and taking shots...I be your girl. Most people like to cook, but I LOVE to cook, I love to make my food pretty. I cook when I'm happy, when I'm mad, when I'm bored, when I'm hungry, and when I'm so busy all I can do is procrastinate and cook instead. I always make too much, but usually give all my food creations away because I want to share it with the world. I loathe to grocery shop, but I celebrate having a fully stocked fridge, and I've got some pretty cool ideas I'd like to share with you. Also, I might be an excessive picture taker.
