After years of eating ice-cream, it's always been my dream to own a homemade ice cream shop. Beside the usual vanillia, strawberry and chocolate flavours, I want to spice it up with adding special ingredients such as vodka, rum, or even whiskey. Hell, if eating ice-cream is to give you pleasure, might as well go all the way ! =)
Finally on my 31st birthday this year, Paul had bought me my first ice-cream/yogurt/sorbet maker and a recipe book thus I am 1 tiny baby step towards fulfilling my dream. As usual, with my vivid and wild imagintions, ideas instantly flooded my mind, as wild as creating an ice-cream line call Diana & Diana or Diana & Paul (afterall he did buy me my first ice cream maker) and defeat Ben & Jerry. Of course this was all my insane thoughts, but hey, big things always start small !
So what better ice-cream to make rather than creating with my favourite ingredients -Berries ! Being the Berry Monster, I've found the perfect recipe "Summer Berries Yogurt" (not too bad cause yogurt have slimming effect too ??!!) and I decided to make Lemon Sorbet to reward Paul for his wise selection for my birthday present (he loves sour stuffs to shock his taste bud). Without any delay, I headed off to the supermaket and gathered my ingredients.
It was fun, cause it was something that I always wanted to do and most importantly it released the mad scientist in me. So here I was following the recipe of the Summer Berries and then I realised "Hey, I have a bottle of raspberry vodka sitting in the fridge !!!" And then wicked ideas took over and before I knew it, I started pouring the magic potion (a couple of shots, OK, maybe more than a couple) into the berries mixture which is happily churning in the ice-cream maker....Thanks to the automatic function of the machine, I just need to prepare the ingredients and throw them all in the machine and let it will work it's magic.
And the end result of "Summer Berries yogurt WITH Raspberry Vodka" - simply delicious and butt kicking good. And the best part beside the yummy flavours, it makes me happy too. However, I have not sorted out if the happiness derives from my accomplishment of my creation or from the vodka !
