Maple Syrup and Rum Ice Cream

Peter Gerard — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:40:26 +0000

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: [...]

Pear, ginger and lemon ice-cream

Jen Lee — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:24:38 +0000

South Africa is a great country. One of the many reasons for this is the abundance of public holidays bestowed upon its people, my favourite of which is National Braai day. For those of you who do not avidly follow the Triple Motion website and so missed out on the ‘Triple motion reaches the Southern [...]

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream in the new White Mountain Junior!

Peter Gerard — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 00:09:47 +0000

This year for my birthday I received a wonderfully big surprise in a very small package. Turns out that Big D, my dad, and Thibault conspired to find the world’s smallest White Mountain Freezer and sent it for my birthday. After the usual debacle with Parcel Farce, I received the newest edition to our White [...]

Passion fruit icecream

Dr Big D — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:26:08 +0000

With autumn approaching I’ve been kicking back with my feet up on the 1/2 gallon freezer (log fire, pipe, slippers, smoking jacket – you know the scene) and reflecting on a long successful summer of cranking. Looking back it seems that I’ve been so busy that I’ve written up precious few batches into the blog, so [...]
