Oh this sounds heavenly, although I can imagine tasting an elegant amount of this rather than tucking in with gusto would be better for this ice-cream. I love marzipan, especially homemade and I'm just thinking, this would be super super delicious with chunks of marzipan in it too. Thanks for sharing this with WSC.

This is great - I live in England and am going to make this for our Street Party this weekend (for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.) Thanks for sharing.

What a cake! It looks fantastic. Oh my goodness. I just adore old editions of the Betty Crocker cookbook. The one at my parents' house is from the early 70s and I have a 1950 edition. They're so much fun.

How clever and patriotic! Hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend, although I bet in your heart of hearts this weekend you're really missing the glam & glittery glory that is... Eurovision!!! ;-P

Mmmm...scrumptious scones! I love that you used both the chives and their blossoms. Absolutely beautiful.

2012-05-23T17:41:23.038-04:00

These are beautiful and delicious too, I'm sure. As much as I love sweets for breakfast, I usually choose an onion bagel if it's on the menu.

I'll have to try your scones!

I am growing chives right now. I had no idea they grew blossoms. What a nice treat and I like the spelt and flax addition too.

These look divine. A bit butter-laden for me, though. Do you have Earth Balance in Canada? Unsweetened coconut milk is also a good sub. Love the new website design!

Wishing I had a few flowering chive plants around right now. I believed you when you said they were good but reading that the Dr. declared them delicious really makes me wish I had some for breakfast ;)

2012-05-22T12:41:49.693-04:00

The raspberry swirl idea is great. I almost doused the ice cream in leftover chocolate wine sauce but that would have been just wrong. No?

2012-05-22T12:40:30.155-04:00

The marzipan is not too solid. I just added it in 1/2 teaspoon fulls as the ice cream was churning. Easy peasy.

Actually I do not know the answer to that question...

2012-05-22T12:39:22.160-04:00

Actually I do not know the answer to that question. I used it 24 hours later and the ice cream didn't last very long. Three days tops before it was gone.

Whoah. I'm a complete marzipan fanatic and als...

2012-05-22T03:56:49.452-04:00

Whoah. I'm a complete marzipan fanatic and also an ice cream whore, and yet I never thought of putting them together! Brava for making your own marzipan. How long will it keep, given that you used raw egg whites? I remember one summer in Cyprus my mom made about a bucketful of marzipan from the almonds on our trees, and my brother and I ate it by the spoonful until we were sick. And then we ate some more. That's dangerous stuff to have around!

2012-05-21T12:12:39.862-04:00

Oh how fabulous and I adore marzipan, been meaning to make my own for so long. When you add the marzipan to the ice cream, is it solid and you have to break it into tiny pieces or is it liquid enough that you can spoon it in?

That talk sounded wonderful. Could do with something like that. So jackets are a winning number? Your cookies are incredible. Love all the detail, including the flashy bits!

White chocolate and almond 'anything' go so well together. I would love to make this ice cream and add some kind of raspberry swirl..so it's like a frozen Viennese Torte :) As always, so creative!

Oh..BTW..the cookies below..DAYAM, Lora, you are an artist!
