David Lebovitz's ice cream board
Pastry chef and cookbook author David Lebovitz's board of ice cream recipes: nearly 500 pins, from black sesame to rum raisin.
What it is
A board from David Lebovitz, the pastry chef and cookbook author, whose profile says he shares recipes for baking, cooking, drinking and more. This one is about ice cream. It had 477 pins when we checked.
Why we picked it
Lebovitz has been writing about ice cream for years, and it shows. The board mixes his own recipes with ones from other cooks that he saved for himself, so it reads less like a promo feed and more like the working notebook of someone who knows the subject. In our scroll: Devil's Food chocolate ice cream, malted milk, black sesame, rum raisin, panforte, coffee caramel, white chocolate ginger, a rose ice cream flavored with rose water and vanilla, and an elderflower strawberry float. A few non-ice-cream desserts slip in too, like a caramelized panettone bread pudding.
Many pins lead to his newsletter, others to other food writers' sites.
The flavors are also nicely seasonal: fruity and floral ones for summer, and spiced, coffee and holiday flavors like panforte for the colder months.
Where to start
- Begin with a classic like coffee caramel or chocolate to get the technique down.
- For something different, try the black sesame.
- Rum raisin and panforte are good bets as the weather cools and the holidays approach.
- Check whether a recipe needs an ice cream maker before you start.
Who it's for
Home cooks who already make ice cream, or who just bought a machine and don't know where to begin. Dessert fans tired of the usual flavors. Anyone who reads recipes for fun.
