Move past the same old ice cream recipes and make some unique frozen desserts. I've put together a series of the "best of" different frozen desserts, featuring my own recipes and recipes from About.com Experts in other food topics. Some of them have really amazing recipes! Start with a new granita recipe and put together something refreshing in a heartbeat. With the upcoming holiday, I am thinking about trying to get a cranberry granita that is just right.
Next up, start making the best homemade sherbet recipes and skip the store-bought varieties. Use fresh fruit and milk to make these flavors, which range from traditional to exotic. Get some great ideas for substitutions and changes to make the recipes your own.
If you're getting really adventurous, try making a new semifreddo recipe. This article starts with a definition, since not everyone has had semifreddo before. It's really a shame! This frozen mousse is easy to put together and doesn't require an ice cream maker, so you can do it without buying new equipment. Give one of these great recipes a try and let me know how they turn out!
