Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream







This week's Tuesdays with Dorie pick was an inspired choice. What could be better than chocolate ice cream on a hot summer day?

A pretty simple recipe (although it required two bowls and two pots) involving cream, milk, good chocolate, egg yolks and a little sugar.

Lydia and Tim (the happy couple who will be married this month) had dinner at our house with their photographer, Stephen. We served two delicious gourmet pizzas from the Cafe Flora cookbook, salad with greens from our garden and tomatoes from the farm market, and ended it all with Dorie's delicious Chocolate Ganache Ice Cream. Wonderful!

  1. Your dinner together sounds delicious. Love gourmet pizzas created at home! The recipe did dirty up a few extra dishes but what a decadent ice cream. Sounds like everyone in your kitchen enjoyed the chocolate ganache ice cream too =).

  3. Thanks again for the chocolate teacake recipe. I should have saved the egg whites from this ice cream for those cookies.
