Chocolate Raspberry Redux
The Cypress Hill edition.
Astute readers of this blog (of which I know there are a few), as well as anyone who knows me at all, will not be surprised to learn that I had another go at making Chocolate Raspberry ice cream. I simply could not let the previous results stand.
Not only that, it turns out David Lebovitz has a recipe for Chocolate Raspberry in The Perfect Scoop, and it is damn near foolproof.
I won’t bore you with a lot of explanation for this one. Just gonna get straight into it.
I missed taking photos of the blending and straining process. Oh well. Here’s the churn:
And the final results:
The texture and scoopability? Excellent. The taste? Also excellent. The use of fresh raspberry makes it taste like you’re eating a creamy, chocolate raspberry. Good stuff, and very easy to make.
Why can’t I keep my other blog posts this short?
As for the subtitle to the post…well, I’m a child of 90’s hip-hop, and this song was at the back of my mind as I was stewing over the results earlier in the week. I was never all that into Cypress Hill (the vibe is too dark and menacing), but the chorus resonates in moments like these.
