Honey-Peach Ice Cream with homemade waffle cone - Tuesdays with Dorie

Food LIbrarian - Honey-Peach Ice Cream

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Tommi of Brown Interior selected Honey-Peach Ice Cream on page 437 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. I really like Rainbow Brown's blog - be sure to stop by her blog and give her encouragement about getting an apartment with an electric stove. Oh dear.

Food LIbrarian - Honey-Peach Ice Cream

I got to use my new ice cream maker for the second time...and get sucked in by the glory of Target.

I went to Target yesterday and they are having a little summer appliance sale. My friend JustJenn has a bunch of great appliances like a Williams Sonoma Mini-Donut Maker they don't sell anymore! My newly adopted JustJenn motto when shopping: "When I see an appliance, I buy it."

Rival Waffle Cone Maker Rival Waffle Cone Maker
So, when I saw the Rival Waffle Cone maker, it went straight into my red Target cart. And it's on sale for $19.99.

Sweetness, come to Momma.

I so so so love the waffle cone. I love the cone MORE than the ice cream that comes in it.

These cones aren't as thick as the ones at the ice cream shop...but it could be the recipe and my technique! But I am happy with the cones. I have plans for the summer...stay tuned!

As for the ice cream, my peaches weren't the ripest...so it was nice but I think it can be improved with better fruit. Must make again! :)

I picked up these cute ceramics at the Japanese store. Damn. I have been stimulating the economy lately...

Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And find the recipe for Honey-Peach Ice Cream in Dorie's great book Baking: From My Home to Yours or on Tommi's blog, Brown Interior.

  11. on sunday we made frozen yogurt. I told my husband I wanted to try and make homemade waffle cones and he laughed. He said that there are things that no one ever makes, waffle cones included. I'm going to have to rub this in his face. all day.

  12. Ooh, waffle cones! I *need* one. Great job and thanks for doing your part to stimulate the economy!

  13. I'm going to have to go to Target to check out the waffle cone maker. I mean, how can I resist for only $19.99?

    Your ice cream looks wonderful and so does the waffle cup.

    (by the way, King Arthur Flour catalog has a mini-doughnut maker.)

  14. I was watching Food Challenge last night and thought of you, my dear FL. It was a 10K cookie baking challenge. You HAVE to try to get into one of these challenges. You could have totally kicked those contestants butts and taken the 10K prize!!! P.S. Loved this post. Mmm..., Racheal

    Fresh waffle cone with home made ice cream?!

    Can I live with you?

  16. I never used to like peach ice cream till I ate mochi and was hooked! You make me want an ice cream maker...

    ReplyDelete
  17. One of my favorite things in this world is the chocolate-dipped bowl waffle cone filled with rocky road ice cream at Marble Slab. Your homemade cone is awesome, it's making me want to run out to Target right now!

  18. Ooooh I am so jealous of the waffle cone maker! So the weird thing is that I love a waffle cone the most when it's left out with the ice cream for a few hours and it gets soft and saturated with ice cream. I guess it reminds me of childhood and eating ice cream cones on the beach!

    ReplyDelete
  19. So what you are saying is that I should ignore my husband when he says I don't need said appliance and just put it in the cart anyway! Perfect, Target here I come!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Weird, I am making ice cream today, too!

    I thought my motto was, "If there is Hello Kitty on it, rob a bank to pay for it"...

  21. Thank you for stimulating the economy.

    Your making up for my lack of it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Stimulate away! I always find it easier to stimulate the economy while at Target, too. Cute little waffle cone/bowl. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm so jealous of your waffle cones. They sound so good. I don't know if there is a better smell than that of fresh waffle cones. Yummy. Everything looks perfect.

  26. I was totally looking at your first picture and coveting the waffle cone bowl! Now I'm coveting the waffle cone maker appliance...maybe there's a target trip in my future. Gorgeous photos as usual!

  27. forget the ice cream, bring me the waffle cones. Waffle cones are the best ever, I am going to look for this wholly unnecessary appliance this weekend.

  29. omg a waffle cone maker?? i didn't even know that those existed! i just moved a block from a sur la table, and i can tell already that walking by all of those nice appliances everyday is going to be a problem...

  30. I love your waffle cone maker! I also love the cone just as much, if not more, than the ice cream in it! I've got to put one of these on my wish list. Great job on the ice cream - it looks terrific!

  52. The ice cream sounds delish! I'm actually getting a waffle cone maker in the next few weeks and I can't wait! You are making me extra excited about it!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I have yet to make my weekly Target expedition, so I'm putting that waffle maker on the list. Thanks!

    I've learned to taste the ice cream base for flavor. I've had a few that needed "something" but only realized it after I had already churned the ice cream.
