New Classic Buttercream

This is real French buttercream reorganized to eliminate the trickiest steps. Traditional French buttercream requires pouring hot sugar syrup over eggs while beating steadily -- without scrambling them or splattering most of the syrup around the sides of the bowl. Then the mixture is reheated (to be sure that the eggs get cooked but not scrambled) and beaten again to cool before beating in the butter. Pastry chefs make this all the time, but home cooks are at a disadvantage because small batches are trickier than large batches. This recipe produces classic results with fewer, easier steps. Recipe from Flavor Flours: A New Way to Bake With Teff, Buckwheat, Sorghum, Other Whole and Ancient Grains, Nuts, and Non-Wheat Flours (Artisan, 2014).

Makes 3 cups, more than enough for one 8- or 9-inch layer cake

Vegan Roast Peach Ice Cream

This ice cream came about as part of ongoing experiments with Psyllium husk. Vegan ice creams tend to be icy as the fat content from the milk cream is missing. Often, recipes incorporate starches, such as corn, potato or arrowroot, thicken and correct the texture of thinner nut milks. Psyllium does a similar trick of thickening the fluids and cutting through some of the icy-ness that may result when frozen. This recipes uses coconut milk that has a higher fat content than nut milks. It helps to use only the cream part of the coconut milk, that part that floats onto the top inside the can, and discard the watery bits. This is not a blended ice cream and it tastes as such. You get to taste every flavor with integrity.

Mini Mounds Bites

The very idea of coconut and chocolate together makes me weak in the knees, but I assure you it wasn't always that way. As a kid I would hardly look twice at a mounds bar or an almond joy because, uh hello, SNICKERS! But as I've ripened and explored outside beyond the overly sweetened flaky variety, I've fallen deeply in love with the purity and versatility of this fruit. Pair it with dark chocolate and that snickers bar can't hold a candle. For a decadent treat full of real ingredients that shine without being masked by extra sugar, or a sweet craving that whips up in no time, or even a last minute dessert for your girls wine night, these little babies are adorable and reminiscent.

watermelon and tomato gazpacho sorbet

I have a garden bursting with tomatoes, and had a small sweet, but somewhat older watermelon forgotten on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. I made gazpacho, but my family does not like gazpacho. So I added sugar and froze it in an ice-cream machine. It was yummy. not very sweet. Refreshing, surprising, and with an olive oil flavor note. Just the thing to go the very creamy basil ice cream I made earlier in the week (yes, that is here too).

Teacup Chocolate Mousse

My friend Mary tried it and wrote, " It was magic. Dangerous magic. Every woman should know how to make your mousse. Thousands of horrid days simultaneously melting away with the taste of this mousse. A 5-minute investment. Serious stand-at- the-counter medicinal joy." I can't explain it better than that. This recipe is uncooked, very flexible, scalable, easily customized to anyone's taste and is a balm for my soul. Had some about an hour ago in larger quantity (3 x the recipe below) and it worked. Yes, I ate about half of it.

Strawberry Hard Ice Cream

The high sugar content of the condensed milk and the pectin in the strawberries is what keeps the ice cream smooth. Do add that extra splash of vanilla, which gives it that old-school ice cream parlour oomph. You don't need an ice cream machine, but you do need a powerful blender for this to work.
