Fourth of July recipes could be a challenge. A good Fourth of July recipe should be easy to make, incredibly tasty and have an element of fun. If it can be made red, white and blue, that’s even better. What is more fun than sorbet and ice cream?
The basics of frozen desserts
Frozen desserts, ice cream and sorbet alike, could be perfect Fourth of July barbecue desserts. To make a frozen dessert, you have to take a mixture of ingredients and freeze it while agitating it. The dessert is light and edible this way. There are numerous choices of how to freeze ice cream. You might do the picnic-friendly double can method – take a small coffee can, fill it with the dessert mixture, and tape it closed. Put the small can inside a larger can filled with ice and rock salt, tape the whole thing closed, and then you are able to just kick it around until the ice is very close to melted. There are also hand-crank, soccer-ball shaped and electric ice cream makers.
For red we have a strawberry sorbet
Although strawberry sorbet sounds simple, you are able to do no matter what to make it fancy. Blend in a blender:
1 pound of cut and hulled strawberries
Do a 1/2 cup agave nectar
Do 2 sprigs fresh basil or mint
Then you just freeze and enjoy!
Ice cream that’s a simple white
A good white dessert could be a basic vanilla ice cream. Combine:
2 cups half and half
Do 1 cup whipping cream
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flavor extract.
Enjoy after freezing and combining!
Blueberry sorbet for blue
The blue sorbet can be tried for Fourth of July. Combine ingredients in blender:
The 2 pints blueberries
Do 1 pint blackberries or huckleberries
1/2 cup agave nectar or 1 cup simple syrup
Then freeze, scoop, and enjoy!
These recipes, of course, are just suggestions. You can combine, blend and love just about any kind of fruit, sugar, and flavoring to create fun kinds of desserts. No matter what, remember to enjoy the Fourth of July!
