Coconut ice cream

Thibault — Tue, 01 May 2012 09:10:13 +0000

Hi folks, We took a few days off for Easter and went to visit David and Peter in their respective cities. This led to two ice cream experiments, one of them being related here. At the end of 3 amazing days in Newcastle, after a day of bike-pushing in the rain, an intense Shakespeare play [...]

S’long to South Africa with lime and blueberry ice-cream

Jen Lee — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:19:05 +0000

I have been in South Africa for six years now. I came here to do my PhD and liked it so much I stayed on to do a post-doc. It really is an amazing country with diverse landscapes and diverse cultures. I could write a ten page testimonial about why it is great here but [...]

Pistachio and Chocolate duet

Thibault — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 17:41:51 +0000

Howdy folks! This weekend, we realized that we had never seen Celine and Pierre’s ice cream machine, which was sent a few months ago by Walt. We therefore decided to unite what are probably the only two existing machines in Clermont Ferrand, and to prepare a nice double dessert. Pierre, driven by enthusiasm and ambition, [...]

Blackcurrant ice-cream and petanque

Thibault — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:56:32 +0000

Every year, in August, Celine’s friends meet in a small campsite in Ardeche, a warm, hilly and dry region in the center of France, to celebrate the end of the holidays. It’s the occasion for everybody to enjoy the last summer days, to take a dip in the nearby cristal-clear river or in the pool, [...]

Watermelon and mint sorbet

Thibault — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:03:56 +0000

Gosh, it’s been so long I haven’t posted anything! This is not due to a decrease in the ice-cream making activity, but rather to a lack of pictures, making posts less interesting. Fortunately, I now have a phone with a camera, and will try to post more often. Anyway, August has been very hot in [...]

From green bean to ice-cream: coffee ice-cream from scratch

Jen Lee — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 14:42:30 +0000

I have been fairly quiet on the Triple Motion blog for a while now. I feel slightly embarrassed that I let life get in the way of a good cranking session and so as part of my mid-year resolution I am determined to make a mends. I was not really sure what flavour to go [...]

Frozen Bellinis – Peach Sorbet in Sparkling Rosé at Festival de Cannes

Peter Gerard — Wed, 25 May 2011 15:46:35 +0000

As you might have guessed by the relative quiet on Triple Motion over the last few months, we’re not always just making ice cream and sorbet. Among our other activities is my new business: Distrify – the revolution in online film distribution. Naturally, film and ice cream go together. So when we’re at film festivals [...]

119th Anniversary of the First Ice Cream Sundae?

Peter Gerard — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 09:03:34 +0000

Apparently 119 years ago today someone somewhere invented the Ice Cream Sundae – the classic dish of scoops of ice cream topped with syrup, whipped cream and the ubiquitous cherry. According to Wikipedia, there is some debate about where and when the ice cream sundae was invented, but today Google has featured the ice cream [...]

Redcurrant Sorbet

Dr Big D — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 00:02:05 +0000

Thibault and I made this sorbet 2 summers ago at a farm house in the Auvergne. It was a great couple of days relaxing in the countryside with the only memorable stress being and an epic game of petanque. There were a clutch of red currant bushes in the the orchard in front of the house [...]

Rum Ice-cream and Christmas Pudding

Dr Big D — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 12:52:00 +0000

I’ve been making this for a number of years now to accompany christmas pudding and as an alternative to hot rum sauce. I like the contrast between hot dark rich pudding and cold refreshing ice cream. It’s become something of a family tradition. Here’s the recipe I used this year: 2 US cups of double cream (48% [...]
