In Linz, Austria there is an enchanted place where adults can indulge their wildest ice cream fantasies. It’s called Eisdieler: Verboden Lekker. The ice cream shop is decorated like a Modern Baroque oasis, their trademark black sugar cones, unusual ice cream flavours and business class clientele distinguish them from your typical ice cream parlour.
If you find yourself in Linz, this Eisdieler looks like a great place to visit.
*NOTCOT.org was so enchanted with their black sugar cones they went back and did this great article on what they found.

This ice cream is sinful, to say the least. And the recipe only has two ingredients, unless you want to get fancy and flavour the ice cream, then it can have as many ingredients as you want.

I’m the kind of girl who will make ice cream using traditional custard, real vanilla beans, fresh fruit, full cream milk. I might not have an ice cream churn (that’s next on my wish list) but I will churn it the old-fashioned way, by hand. That was before I found this recipe, chocolate ice cream, without a churn, could it be possible? Apparently it is. Joanna Goddard’s recipe is proof that it can be done.

Pomegranate is something of a scary fruit, as a lot of people are at a loss as to how to get the beads out of the outeer skin. But, if you can get pure pomegranate juice, you can make these yummy pomegranate ice cream pops, and if it’s warm enough, you can make them heart shaped for Valentines Day.

Anybody who has ever been to Italy, knows that their gelato is out of this world. Put it this way, if the Devil came up to you and said, “Come over to the dark side, we have ice cream”, more than likely your answer would be, “Meh”, but if he said “We have gelato”, you’d be dancing on those hot coals faster than you could say gelato Italiano. Me, I haven’t been to Italy yet, but you know what I’m getting, first thing after I step off that plane. These Minifruits are an assortment of around twenty different fruits which have been hollowed out and the pulp made into an gelato and refilled into the fruit shells. The fruit is fresh, and the ingredients are simple and not overly processed, so they keep their flavours and colours, it looks delicious. I think, I’ll make ice cream this summer.
