A challenge could be fourth of July recipes. A good recipe should be easy, fun, and tasty. And it is always better if it is red white and blue. So what could possibly be better for the Fourth of July than ice cream and sorbet?
The basics of frozen desserts
Frozen desserts, ice cream and sorbet alike, could be great for a Fourth of July barbecue dessert. To make a frozen dessert, you need to take a mixture of ingredients and freeze it while agitating it. Mixing the ingredients with air when you freeze it keeps the dessert light and edible. There are numerous choices of how to freeze ice cream. First, you are able to do the picnic-friendly double can method – take a small coffee can, fill it with the dessert mixture, and tape it closed. Put the small can inside a larger can filled with ice and rock salt, tape the whole thing closed, and then you can just kick it around until the ice is very close to melted. You will find also ice cream makers.
For red we have a strawberry sorbet
Although strawberry sorbet sounds simple, you are able to do whichever to make it fancy. Blend in a blender or food processor:
Do 1 pound of cut and hulled strawberries
1/2 cup agave nectar
The 2 sprigs fresh basil or mint

A good white dessert could be a basic vanilla ice cream. Mix together:
2 cups half and half
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flavor extract – mint, almond, or vanilla bean.

Blueberry sorbet for blue
