colors and flavors


Now that the summer is all around us and my freezer is being filled up with ice cream, I thought I'd first do a post about frozen treats I made last summer (because I made A LOT!). As I put together photos and text, I'm giving you a little something to work on - here is a glimpse of some of the ice creams and sorbets I made last year. Guess what flavors they are? Each of them either has a mixture of different flavors, or uses something a bit unique for ice cream/sorbet.


What about these?

Don't say "chocolate!" - that is exactly what my sister said when asked what flavor she thought the one she'd just had was, after she had tried three of them. They are all chocolate - with an added flavor that is different for each of them.


There is no prize or anything for those who got them right, just for a little fun. You can either speak out and leave a comment here or keep your thoughts all to yourself. (To my Japanese blog readers - it's too easy for you as I've already done posts last year, so let us keep it between us for now!) I'll do a full post in a few days, and you'll see how you have fared. See you soon! -c x

i'm guessing canteloupe/chanteraise melon, avocado, peach, and raspberry or plum with some sort of liqueur. i don't know about the chocolates, but hazelnut seems like a good guess for one of them!

Oh, I love it! But I can't possibly imagine guessing without tasting them. C'est la vie.

Gotta taste to be able to make the guess. This sounds like a fun game. Are they all naturally colored? no food coloring involved, right?
