Clean out the freezer

March 2009

Coconut Mango Ice Cream Cake.
In an effort to get rid of the left over mango ice cream I made a cake. The top layer is coconut cake and the bottom, mango ice cream.The frosting was marshmallow and Italian meringue. If I was thinking, I would of reduced the fat content of the coconut cake. Fat gets really hard when frozen.

Looking through a few ice cream cake recipes there are a few things that get neglected when making an ice cream cake.
1. It takes a long time to make.
There is 1-2 hours between steps as things chill.
2. If it isn't good frozen then it should not be in an ice cream cake.
High fat cakes need to be good frozen too.
3. Frosting. I went with the light Italian meringue and marshmallows because it doesn't freeze up into an ice cube. And I needed to clear out a few marshmallows from the cupboard.


BlueBerry Pie
When you find 1.25 gallon bucket of blueberries in the freezer what you gonna do? PIE. I made a standard blue berry pie but ground some nutmeg into the pie dough.
Outstanding. Blueberry Pie in March.
