When the temperatures climb, something cool to cold is called for while we try not to perspire! Ice cream comes to mind and there are a multitude of flavors easily available in the stores. However, it is fun to come up with your own version, especially for treating and surprising family and friends.
Almond Ice Cream
8 ounces heavy whipping cream
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
1/3 cup amaretto liqueur
1/3 cup slices, toasted almonds
Combine everything except the almonds and freeze in serving glasses. When ready to serve, top with a spritz of good whipped cream and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Ideas . . .
Try a coffee liquer for a more grown-up dinner party. You can top each serving with a few chocolate-covered coffee beans.
Peel, slice, and puree a ripe peach and use in place of the 1/3 cup of Amaretto. Strawberries or blueberries also come to mind.
