Ice Cream Round-Up 2019
Welcome to MsM’s Ice Cream Round-Up 2019, everyone! Being summer in the Northern Hemisphere, I thought it would be nice to share my favourite ice cream, gelato, granita, and sorbet recipes with all of you.
Torrontes Ice Cream
I am so happy to be able to share the recipe for Torrontes Ice Cream on the blog. Torrontes is a white wine quality, typical from the north of Argentina. So, yes… it’s white wine ice cream! And it tastes amazing!
Malbec Ice Cream
I am so excited about today’s recipe: Malbec Ice Cream. Malbec is a red wine quality, typical from the north of Argentina. So, yes… it’s red wine ice cream everyone! And it tastes amazing!
Strawberry Granita
The weather here is getting warmer and strawberries are in season, sweet and full of flavour! So I didn’t think twice and took my ice cream machine out to make this easy and delicious Strawberry Granita! Italians are famous for their frozen treats and we often have granita for breakfast. Make sure to serve this strawberry…
Pear Gorgonzola Gelato in Hazelnut Balsamic Tuiles
Today I am teaming up with Jomei’s Fine Foods for a very special recipe I developed to showcase their newest product: their Organic Sweet Balsamic Reduction. The moment I tasted it, I knew I wanted to make something sweet with it, but I wanted to go beyond the usual pairing of balsamic vinegar and strawberries. You…
Affogato al Caffe
Today’s recipe is very simple. I am not even sure it can be considered a “recipe” per se, as you don’t really have to cook anything for it. However, Affogato al Caffe is a traditional Italian dessert that deserves to be on this blog, which is all about traditional Italian food! I personally love it…
Fiordilatte Gelato #SundaySupper
Welcome to this week’s #SundaySupper event! This Sunday the #SundaySupper team has organised an Italian Fest! Being Italian, when the Italian theme was announced, I knew I had to host it. This is the first #SundaySupper event I host and I am really excited, especially since it will be showcasing some amazing Italian food! I am very excited about today’s recipe…
Baileys, Chocolate and Salted Almonds Ice Cream
Baileys is my favourite “non-traditional” ice cream flavour. When I say non-traditional, I mean not sold in Italy when I was young. It’s a flavour that got introduced to the Italian market by a well known brand when during my teen age years and I have loved it ever since. I have already shared with…

Nutella and Frangelico Gelato
Since I came back from Italy, I have been craving gelato. We had some amazing gelati when we were there and even though nothing can quite compare with the original Italian ice cream, home-made ones like today’s recipe come close to it. I love to add a little liquor in my ice cream mixture, as…
Marsala Gelato with Pumpkin Sauce
Today’s recipe is inspired by the month of October. I know I say this often, but to me getting used to what I still consider “reversed” seasons is almost impossible. So October is still autumn to me, even though down here we are in the middle of spring! That is why, I decided that combining…
Caramel Apple Bars
Winter, I love it. I know I may be among the few people out there who prefer winter and cold weather to summer… but I have always loved it. I love short days, cozy evenings reading on the couch covered with an old woollen blanket while sipping a cup of hot tea. Even better if…
Salted Caramel Gelato #SundaySupper
This week the Sunday Supper team is sharing recipes for food that is served cold… as the majority of the group is based in the Northern hemisphere and it is a hot summer up there at the moment. It has actually been quite cold down here lately. I do not mind it one bit though, as…
WATERMELON GELATO
Today, for my Regional Italian dish series, I am going to take you all back to Sicily with the perfect summer recipe. I know, I know… it’s winter down here and it’s also been quite cold lately, but my family and friends are enjoying summer in Europe, so I thought of publishing this today. I…
WALNUT AND ORANGE GELATO WITH CHOCOLATE SYRUP
I love ice cream and not only in summer! Today’s recipe in fact, is perfect for autumn/winter as it is made with walnuts and candied orange zest These flavours always make me think of autumn, cold days and cozy nights. The home-made chocolate syrup adds a touch of decadence to the whole dessert which is always…
COFFEE AND KAHLUA GELATO
Today’s recipe is a spin off of my Bailey’s Ice cream. Actually, I wanted to make Bailey’s Ice cream and got all the ingredients for it… until I realised I did not have enough Baileys! Aaargh! That’s when I looked inside my liquor cabinet and saw Kahlua! Mmmmm I love coffee gelato, it is actually…
PARMIGIANO REGGIANO GELATO
Today I want to share with you a recipe that may sound unusual, but it is one of the best appetisers I have eaten in a looong time: gelato made with Parmigiano Reggiano! It is very easy to make, yet it is very fancy… it is one of those dishes that I love serving at…
PISTACHIO GELATO
Sicily is very famous for its nut production, especially almonds and pistachios. There is a town in the Eastern part of Sicily called Bronte which is reknowed for the quality of the pistachios that grow in the area. I wanted to make ice cream and serve it in a brioche (as it is typically served on…
FOODBUZZ 24X24: SICILIAN STREET FOOD NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY
The majority of you know that, even though I now live in Australia, I was born in Milan – Italy, by Sicilian parents and even though I was brought up in one of the most glamorous and fashionable cities of the world, I have always been attracted to the simple yet amazingly delicious food that…
GELATO DI CASTAGNE – CHESTNUT ICE CREAM
This is one of those recipes that I sometimes create on the spur of the moment because I do not want to waste something that I have left over from another recipe. Don’t these kinds of recipes often turn out terrific? I had some sweet chestnut infused milk left over from making Mont Blanc and…
