I kind of wanted a tried and true recipe after my first failure yesterday but I was craving something fruity. So I opened up my massive baking wishlist and pulled out this Blueberry Crumble Ice Cream I found over at My Man’s Belly. I’ve been living off of oatmeal and blueberries pretty much for years now, my standby for breakfast. So yep, I already had everything in my pantry, including the rum and vodka.
Don’t judge, those are the only hard alcohols I have in my house. They are both brilliant for baking, and it seems great ice cream making (you all should know by now I only really enjoy drinking cider, sheesh). You couldn’t taste the alcohol in the finished product anyway. For the granola I used the Olives For Dinner recipe. I found that the seedy granola worked great in ice cream. The base texture was pretty nice too, I think mostly do to the cooked oatmeal in the base. It didn’t get super creamy but it was still darn tasty.
This sounds great! I love the combination of textures
How funny—this is the exact recipe I plan to use this week to break in my new ice cream maker, since it fits my theme! I just made some granola in preparation. 🙂
Hi Shannon,
I’m so happy that you made this ice cream and liked it enough to post. 🙂 This is one of our favorites around here.
