Alissa's Crepes Transformed into Unbelievable Ice Cream

[threedogs]

A while ago I posted a question about Alissa's crepes - I made a whole recipe (I added some lemon juice to the crepe mixture when I made it, and some raspberries to the strawberry stuff - and I think I made extra of the sauce, too), then there was no one around to even try it. Since they got mushy in the fridge, I finally decided to first whip up the whole thing in my food processor, and then freeze in a plastic ziplock bag.

I finally decided to resurrect the mixture last night. Put the frozen mass in the food processor once again, and added some cocoa powder (know it's not raw, but it's what I have right now). I whipped that baby up with nothing else, until it was smooth and looked JUST like beautiful, soft ice cream.

Man, was it GOOD. Incredible. I could not believe I was eating something that was so GOOD for me - it tasted absolutely decadent!!! :D :D :D :D

Yah I have had the same experience with her Blueberry Bars. I didnt have enough room in my dehydrator and so tried the batter "wet" and it was devine! Like a porrege!

I also found I like her Carrot Pecan burger mix as pate! So I now look at all recipes as more than just face value! :rolleyes:

Great job on the ice cream - you can NEVER have too many ice cream recipes!

EPPP

LOL! this is always a good strategy to use stuff as bases for something else.

I really couldn't stand the Date-Nut Torte :eek: when I made it (and I went to all lengths to get raw organic raisins), so I took it all (icing and cake) and threw it in the Cusinart with other ingredients for carrot cake, like grated carrots, fresh pineapple, spices, I can't remember what else, and it made the most amazing Carrot Cake Cookies!!!

I did the same thing with the crepes. I made a whole batch and nobody liked them. I didn't want to just throw it all out it was too much work.

When I made the ice cream no body liked it either. They said it tasted just like the crepes. :( I thought it was good though.
