Almond Brittle and Salted Ganache Ice Cream

Pin It
I Scream for Ice Cream Saturdays!

I don’t know what is more exciting: a warm, sunny day, or the anticipation of a warm, sunny day.  In the northwest, we spend 7 months waiting for the summer weather to arrive.  As I find myself on the spring-side of winter, I think I choose the later.  The forecast is predicting temperatures in the mid-70’s and possibly even higher.  I can’t help but start preparing for it now. 

 

What better way than with a sweet and salty ice cream with a bit of crunch?  The inspiration for this recipe comes from a new ice cream shop I often walk to on Alberta Street, called Salt and Straw.  The shop is known for its homemade ice cream with adventurous flavor combinations, like Honey Lemon with Ricotta Walnut Cookies, or Pear and Blue Cheese.
