a few weeks ago i tried to recreate this fancy dessert we had as a part of a 9 course meal in spain. the most challenging part of this particular dessert was a thyme honey ice cream, which i failed miserably at. i hadn't planned right and didn't have time for the ice cream to actually freeze before it was time to eat it. my new ice cream machine and i were in a fight. well, last night we made up.
i got home from an exhausting trip to that fancy new buffalo market (heb-central market love child) with general ice cream making supplies: milk and cream and lots of random potential ingredients. i was uninspired by my cook books and quickly turned to the trusty internet, where bobby flay called out to me... peach-maple ice cream, of course!
with rachel zoe in the background (i wouldn't say guiding me... i have a feeling she doesn't often enjoy ice cream), it was pretty easy to throw the custard together. after my tragic first run with the ice cream maker, i was extra careful to make sure everything was very cold. and it turned out to be fantastic! i left the peaches a little bit chunky. next time i might add a bit more maple, which was very subtle, but that machine is kindof my new best friend.

next up: chocolate ice cream!
