Chocolate Vanilla Swiss Swirl Ice Cream Cake … of ice creams & beautiful desserts
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; It is because we do not dare that they are difficult.” Seneca The July 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Sunita of Sunita’s world – life and food. Sunita challenged everyone to make an ice-cream filled Swiss roll that’s then used to make a bombe with hot fudge. Her recipe is based on an ice cream cake recipe from Taste of Home. This was a challenge I wasn’t going to do because it had way too many steps for me as my kitchen was going to be under ‘attack’ beginning the month of July. Then again, fate…

Mango Vanilla Bavarian Cream Cake … and a FOOT for MacTweets!
“Through flour, sugar, butter and eggs, you’ve created the best recipe ever – friendship!“ Janet @ LaDue & Crew Yes, still summer here, with the rains that came and went, leaving us in a puddle of hot and humid misery. Not the perfect weather for macs, but then again, it was the finding my feet time of the month. Needless to say, they proved elusive again. The theme Jamie and I picked at MacTweets was ‘SING, SING A SONG‘, asking you to cook up something special, something toe-tapping, sing-along good! Sing I did, and the numbers being belted out in my mind were wide ranging. Primary of course the theme…

DARK CHOCOLATE ICE-CREAM…for days when life hands you yolks!!
“O when the yolks, come marchin’ in, O when the yolks come marching in, There’s gonna be dessert tomorrow, O when the yolks come marchin’ in…” These are pretty happy days for the family. Desserts of every kind entice them, and footfalls from the mac attack seem to be never ending! Faux tiramisu, mango mascarpone budini, basil sandwich cookies, flat pathetic macs … the sweet run continues. The last day of mac frenzy left me with something I didn’t particularly relish the thought of … egg yolks , and 6 of them! I’m pretty much an egg yolk hater. I’ve confessed this several times, yet have passion to bake. Eggs…

MANGO MOUSSE TART…forced into obligation!
“All men’s gains are the fruit of venturing”Herodotus You might remember the French tart I tried to make here on Mother’s Day, & it didn’t oblige at all. I admonished the misbehaving tart shell, & it cooled it’s heels in the fridge for 2 days, while I tried to figure out how best to resurrect it. I tried, & managed to come up with something, which worked out quite well eventually! Not one to take a baking defeat lightly, a bruised ego very much there, the tart shell bugged me for 2 days. Each time I opened the fridge, it sat there cheekily trying to engage me in conversation! Phew…

FROZEN STRAWBERRY YOGURT…a refreshing ice-cream in disguise!
“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” Voltaire And when it is ‘N O F A T’, as in fat-free, insanely fruity & tangy, & has yogurt, then it’s even bettah! This refreshing Frozen Strawberry Yogurt is much the ice-cream that I crave, & has all the goodness of the world stirred inside it. Stirred because it’s hand made, yes you heard right, as I don’t own an ice-cream machine, & David Levobitz is quite right when he says you can make ice-cream without a machine. Rolling lasagna for Daring Baker’s Lasgana of Emilio Romagna (embarrassingly I was amongst a large number of us who thought Emilio…
