I just tried this ice cream and it's gorgeous - bursting with flavor and so creamy! Thanks for sharing! I just put it up on my blog - http://sweettoothcraving.blogspot.in/2012/04/honey-lavender-ice-cream.html.

I stumbled upon this recipe and tried it this morning for a breakfast-in-bed menu for my fiancee. It turned out so well! Orange zest gives it a 'fresh' taste while earl grey gives it depth. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the update Shawn. I tried the recipe and the flavours came out wonderful.

However, the bread had a very moist interior and seemed a little uncooked even after I baked it for 1.5 hours.

I wonder if I should be baking this at a higher temperature instead of 350 or use less buttermilk maybe?

I love the fact that your recipes are health oriented with the wheat flour instead of all purpose.

Thanks, Carla! Glad you like it! Can you believe y...

Thanks, Carla! Glad you like it! Can you believe you lived without an ice cream maker? Of all the gadgets I've picked up over the years, the ice cream maker is one I could never live without again! Take care....thanks for stopping by.

Hi Misha! Thanks for the comments. You are absolutely right - it should, of course, be 1 3/4 cups of flour. Have corrected the error. No need to let the dough rise, although I will say that this is a denser and more moist loaf for this reason as well as because of the buttermilk. I think you'll find it quite edible. :) Will be checking out your blog and thanks for the comments again!

The measurement in the recipe call for 1 3/4 tbsp wheat flour. Should it not be 1 3/4 CUP instead?

Does one need to set the dough aside for it to rise like the usual yeast breads?
I've faced some issues with yeast breads that sometimes they don't rise enough and its because the yeast was not that active. As a result, the bead is very dense and not much edible (one time)
I'm also a food blogger at http://thefoodoholic.wordpress.com/ and would really appreciate any help. Please advise.

I've never made my own ice cream at home. Used to make it all the time when I was a pastry chef. I think it's about time I give it a shot. I'm going to throw some cinnamon and cayenne in there too though!

Lovely photo! It is really wise to keep a herb garden: fresh herbs are ready for the picking once the craving sets in.

tryityoumightlikeit: Yes! I've just picked up a book on preserving and it encourages you to freeze fruit when it's at its peak so you'll be able to enjoy making preserves with it the rest of the year. Give it a try. :)

Would this work with frozen berries?

hello Shawn
i just had lunch with your dad at my hotel the royal Tahitian in Tahiti.we had not seen each other in many many years.
among our reminiscences we talked about the weekend( June 1990) i spent with you and your dad and together with a young friend of yours from new Zealand we went down to the bullfights in Tijuana and i believe we also went to a ballgame at dodger stadium.you were 14 at the time so i don't know if you remember me.
anyway it was just great to see your dad after all these years. he showed me a photo of you and the baby and i hope you are all doing well.
he very proudly told me about your blog. i have been an avid cook my whole life so i will definitely enjoy going through it.maybe we could exchange recipes one day.
anyway i just wanted to say hello.please also give my very best to your mother.
hope to see you in Tahiti one day take care and very best regards
