☀️it’s here. Popsicle weather. This is the ☀️it’s here. Popsicle weather. This is the one that thoroughly satisfies every sweet and salty craving. Salty caramel popsicles 🍦 We keep a pile of these in the freezer every summer. Just the thing when we’re working and need....something. With a soft almost creamy consistency they melt almost instantly on the tongue and the lingering traces of caramel goodness leave you craving the next bite. WFH coffee break - this is ours right now! Actually, these would be great without a shot of espresso, kind of a popsicle affogato!!! 🍨 Want some? Find out how to make them at TheGelatoLife.com (linkin bio). 🍦 ☀️ 🍨 . . . . #icecreamlovers #icecream #caramel #saltedcaramel #popsicle #icepop #icepops #thefeedfeed #foodbloggerpro #foodphotography #woodville #summervibes #summerdesserts #gelato #straussdairy #silkomart
Ice cream season - the happiest (creamiest ?) time Ice cream season - the happiest (creamiest ?) time of year!! Don’t have a machine? Don’t let that stop you! 🍦🍦🍦 Everyone can make ice cream - everyone. People are always telling me they wish that they could make ice cream but don’t want to get a machine. You don’t need one. There’s no churn, semifreddos, granitas and a whole world of frozen desserts that don’t require an ice cream machine. In that spirit, here’s a wonderful no churn fresh strawberry swirl - it’s a no churn (no machine) version of my cream cheese 🍓 swirl that many of you have been asking for. 🍓🍨 Recipe link in profile or go to TheGelatoLife.com Good scooping everyone!! . . . . . . . . . . . . #icecream #nochurnicecream #nochurn #strawberryicecream #thefeedfeed #foodbloggerpro #foodphotography #strawberries🍓 #summerdessert #icecreamlover #icecreamlovers #thegelatolife #gelato #icecreamcone #driscollsberries
Summer 🍓 luv . Sweet Strawberry Cream Cheese Ic Summer 🍓 luv . Sweet Strawberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream. I know summer is truly here when I can smell the strawberries - I swear you can taste them just from the aroma. Capturing that sensation in ice cream is - challenging. 🍨 Even meh vanilla and chocolate are still pretty damn delicious. Bad strawberry is just...bad 🤷‍♀️ . I found the best way to tap into that amazing summer flavor is just to let the berries do what they do best without trying to blend them into the ice cream (which creates all sorts of texture challenges). A big jammy swirl bursting with fresh berries surrounded by a slightly tart cream cheese base. Berries and cream in every bits. @halstellini finished the entire batch before I even had a chance to post this (I ‘might’ have helped) . If this sounds good head over to TheGelatoLife.com for the recipe - linkin bio . 🍓🍓🍓 . 🍦🍦 . ☀️ . . #icecream #icecreamlovers #icecreamlove #gelatolovers #gelato #strawberries #strawberryicecream #dessertsofinstagram #summericecream #foodphotography #foodbloggerpro #thefeedfeed #woodville #driscollsberries #trivetrecipes #summervibes #freshicecream #frozendessert #canonphotography #recipes
Drown me dark chocolate and I’ll die a happy dea Drown me dark chocolate and I’ll die a happy death! Coconut joy popsicles - my summer 💕 🥥 I always thought the best part of summer isn’t really about breaking the rules, it’s about relaxing them. Less gravitas. More fun. Particularly this year. When I first moved to Santa Monica (and for a long time after) nothing was more fun than the secret frozen candy stash at the Laemmle’s on 2nd street. A tiny movie theater with ice cold air conditioning and (if you knew to ask) frozen Junior Mints and Mounds bars at the concession stand. The best. 🥥 These popsicles are all that. 2 kinds of coconut, some rum to tame the sweetness and a dark dark chocolate shell. As for sitting in the dark with a bunch of strangers watching a movie - I don’t know if the Laemmle’s will survive this summer but I suppose we could just turn off the lights and fire up Netflix. . If you want some Coconut Joy head on over to TheGelatoLife.com for the recipe (linkin profile and all that) . 🥥 🌴 😎 🍦 . . . . #popsicle #foodporn #icecream #icecreamrecipe #summervibes☀️ #chocolovers #darkchocolate #gelato #traderjoescoconutmilk #foodbloggerpro #bristolfarms #santamonica #coconutmilk #frozendessert #chocolatecovered #thegelatolife #summerfood #instafood
Hard to believe but the color is 100% real. Red g Hard to believe but the color is 100% real. Red grapefruit & Campari Italian style sorbet. 🍨 A big part of why I started The Gelato Life is because I became disillusioned about starting a gelato business after seeing what actually goes. @forbes reported this week about “the ice cream con” in Italy - gelato stores using industrial mixes and whipping their product full of air. . While I can’t speak for Italian shops, I did intern at two very big ‘name’ gelateria outposts here in the states. Was that an education! One was a well known Italian franchise that claimed to be artisanal & organic. The gelato was a mix shipped over in bags, thawed and then churned in their machines. Sometimes a big had clearly been thawed and refrozen. The other place straight up used Pre-Gel industrial mixes - the equivalent of whipping up a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese and saying it’s farm to table. No shame in the boxed stuff, just be honest about what is being sold. . Anyway, glad to see that Italy wants to crack down on this. There are so many amazing truly artisanal gelato makers out there. It takes a lot of time, money and experience to run a legit gelato shop, it should be a fair playing field. . In the spirit - here’s one of my favorite naturally pink Italian inspired sorbets, Grapefruit Campari. If you want to give it a try I’ve shared the recipe at TheGelatoLife.com (linkin bio and all that) . 🍦 . 🍨 . . . #gelato #gelatolovers #icecreamlove #artisanfood #sorbet #italiangelato #desserts #foodbloggerpro #thegelatolife #foodphotography #bristolfarms #campari @campariofficial
