Wasabi Ice Cream (with roadkill venison steaks)

Peter Gerard — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:40:38 +0000

Just because I’ve been quiet on here recently doesn’t mean I haven’t been cranking. Quite the contrary! What follows is a surprising treat, part by ingenuity, part by accident. Jess invited me to make ice cream at her birthday party on a recent weekend and I was of course delighted to take two machines out to Fala [...]

Paw-paw/Papaya icecream in the Cederberg, South Africa

Dr Big D — Mon, 17 May 2010 07:50:58 +0000

Back in March I took a trip out to South Africa to visit my sister, and whilst there we cooked up this little adventure. Soon after arriving we had some beautifully ripe paw-paw for breakfast and decided to see if they’d make good icecream. To add a bit more interest we decided to try making [...]

Rhubarb Ice-cream

Back to business! It’s been a while since my last post, but the ice-cream frenzy is still on! Last weekend, my friend Bastien had a few visitors : his brother and his girlfriend, who live in Youngstown, Ohio. Bastien’s sister and a friend of hers also joined this happy family gathering. Knowing that Bastien lives about twenty meters [...]

Maple Syrup and Rum Ice Cream

In celebration of Cheryl’s 30th birthday, I hauled my trusty half-gallon White Mountain freezer down to Brighton on the overnight MegaBus (10 hours of sheer pain!). Despite my sore back and neck, we were determined to make the effort worthwhile and decided to crank a simple batch of Maple Syrup Ice Cream. Cheryl’s friend had [...]

Whisky and honey ice-cream – Antarctic style

Jen Lee — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:24:07 +0000

SANAE IV research station is located on a small nunatak called Vesleskarvet, in Western Dronning Maud Land. Although the building its self is rather impressive, it is but a tiny spec on the immense landscape of the Antarctic. It is this landscape that I have been privileged enough to be working in for the last few [...]

Calisson ice-cream for New Year’s Eve

Thibault — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:52:04 +0000

Calisson ice-cream had been on our mind for a while now, since we got offered a tiny ice-cream recipes book with this one featuring. Calisson is a small delicacy from the south of France. It is aesthetically perfect, a smooth and silky pebble with sharp angles making it as streamlined as an Airstream van. I’ve always [...]

Making Ice Cream in the Land of Ice

Jen Lee — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 06:48:28 +0000

Close your eyes and think about Antarctica. You will probably think of ice-bergs, pack ice, icy waste lands…generally a whole lot of icy thoughts. This is for good reason as 90% of the world’s ice is found on the continent. As part of my work a researcher at the University of Stellenbosch, I am privileged enough to [...]

Apple & Cinamon Ice Cream on-sea

Jen Lee — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 08:51:15 +0000

Although I have only been a bonefide cranker for a few months, I have followed the antics of the Triple motion crew for several years now. Each new entry seems to be an exploration of the wonderful world if iced deserts, tantalizing the taste buds and exciting the soul. The bank of recipes which has [...]

Green Tea Ice Cream for Ben’s leaving party

Peter Gerard — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:02:59 +0000

I love green tea ice cream. I think the first time I tasted it was with my brother at a Japanese restaurant in New York more than a decade ago. I still think that some of the best green tea ice cream I’ve had is in New York, at the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, a must-stop [...]

Coconut, cardamom and banana ice-cream in the clouds

Jen Lee — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:53:49 +0000

Once upon a time, some Triple Motion crankers had a crazy idea…the conversation went something like this: Jen: ”Hey Dave I’m coming to the UK, lets make some ice-cream” Big D: ”Sounds good. What did you have in mind?” Jen: ”How about cranking on top of a mountain in the Lake district?” Big D: [...]
