I put this off until I absolutely could not put it off any longer. I love homemade ice cream but I didn’t want to make blueberry ice cream. I love blueberries - really I do! But, blueberry ice cream just didn’t appeal to me. Honestly, I had been eying recipes for ice cream and I am truely a vanilla fanatic when it comes to homemade ice cream. I had found a recipe in Rachel Ray’s magazine for White Russian Ice Cream, and I was really wanting to make that….but I didn’t…..yet! Saturday when I went through town and saw the fruit stand had some awesome, beautiful peaches, I made up my mind then and there that I would use them instead of the blueberries to make t…
I sure did! I wasn’t so sure I was wanting to though. The challenge this month ~ Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream from Great Cakes by Carol Walter was chosen by Chris of Mele Cotte. The recipe is quite long, with many different components, but what else would we expect for a daring baker challenge?! Great choice Chris!
With the costs of everything rising, I had a hard time convincing myself to buy hazelnuts that maybe nobody here would eat in the cake. But, I knew if nobody but me at home woud eat it, that someone outside of my home would. So I splurged.
Skinning the nuts wasn’t as hard as I thought it might be! I even have some hazelnuts left over for a special treat in the future.
This week, for Tuesdays with Dorie, Michelle from Michelle in Colorado Springs has picked Summer Fruit Galette. As soon as I saw this recipe, I knew I was going to love it. I had fresh peaches that I had just bought and the previous day, my parent’s had just given me a quart of their very first red raspberries of the season! This was going to be my summer fruit!
