white chocolate ice cream
I’d like to start by thanking all of you for your kind comments and emails regarding my baking school news. It means more to me than I can express without getting mega sappy on ya. I’m feeling more and more excited for September, and maybe even a little braver. Also, I’d like to thank you for convincing 2.0 that an iPhone is something I actually need. It’s pretty clear that you’re worried I won’t be as cool as the kids in my class come September. And sure, I should probably be insulted by this, but I can overlook it if it brings me closer to posting tweets from the can.
That being said, 2.0 is convinced that most of your comments are fake, and were, in all likelihood, written by Apple employees. He’s also threatening to unfollow me on Twitter and facebook – to make up for any fake follows from the aforementioned Apple staff members. In case you are tempted to do the same, I should mention that my nemesis, Mrs. Rutherford, just got an iPhone. I think we can all agree that this is unacceptable. First off, she’ll wreck iPhones for everyone. That’s just what The Rutherfords do. Secondly, I don’t want to live in a world where The Rutherfords are cooler than me. I’m sure you don’t either.
So, to celebrate my baking school news, and picking up about four new followers, I have a little treat for you. White Chocolate Ice Cream. On its own, white chocolate makes me want to gag. But in desserts? Magic. This ice cream is like a pimped out version of vanilla. Makes it a little… next level, if ya know what I mean. And just so you know, I found out that there’s a chocolate room at baking school. Yah. A whole room dedicated to all things chocolate. Brilliant.
This ice cream is perfect on it’s own, but would be even perfecter over a fudge brownie. With hot fudge sauce. And white chocolate shavings. Right? Aaaaaand that’s why I should be on Kanye’s dream team.

I am so very excited to see what comes out of that chocolate room, Movita! You HAVE to promise to share. I have another favor to ask of you, could you sneak a camera into class with you so that the rest of us may have a chance to become a professional baker just like you without having to PAY into the educational system? I can’t afford baking school but I want to learn too….MOVITA, HELP EDUCATION/INFORMATION BE FREE 🙂
Oh, and that white chocolate ice cream looks so delicious!
PS I am having second thoughts on the phone, it may be handy 🙂
So, you’re in agreement. I NEED an iPhone. Glad to have you on board…
I am so on the same page as you with white chocolate. I HATE it on its own, but with creamy goodness? Yes, please.
I would like to inform 2.0 that I am in no way affiliated with Apple and genuinely excited for your cooking school adventures. I am actually secretly jealous and would love to quit my job, go to culinary school, and write about it all day.
Live the dream for both of us!!
I will! I will! (And 2.0 almost believes that you aren’t affiliated with Apple…)
It worked it worked! I’m back in business!! Yay.
WordPress is looking into the situation as well. I’ll keep you posted! (Man, I hope they don’t tell me WHY they hate you. Could be awkward.)
So much for eating healthier! I am sure you are just eating a little though.
Do remember Pepsi Clear from the 1980’s. It was Pepsi Cola without the dyes. When i tried it my mouth said “Pepsi” but my eyes said “Nah, that’s got to be Sprite”. It was somewhat disconcerting.
That is what white chocolate makes me think of. That strange disconnect between the eyes and mouth. I’m no fan of “albino chocolate” so I will just have to trust you on this one.
PS All of us here at Apple thank you for promoting our phone!
Okay. You’ve just summed up my problem with white chocolate. I couldn’t put my finger on it!!
Aaaaaand then you go and tell 2.0 you work for Apple…
First, Congratulations on baking school! Going to school with a Chocolate Room should be mandatory everywhere, not just baking school! 😀
Second, this white chocolate ice cream looks like it’s going to send vanilla out of business…love it!
Thanks! And you’re right… maybe we should make chocolate rooms a credible design feature in new homes. Someone email Decor8!!
This ice cream looks sinful – creamy and full of flavour! Yum 🙂
And congratulations for all your wonderful news!!!
Cheers

Thank you, thank you!! (Love your blog!)
2.0 has to accidentally “water” Mrs. Rutherford’s iPhone while watering your yard. Or he has to dump it into a sack of flour while he’s over there borrowing some flour for one of your recipes. You know it, and I know it. That iPhone has to go.
And these pictures are stunning.
I fully agree, those pictures are lickable (not that I would do that, no) and I would have to say that Martha Stewart is probably weeping into her clogs right now as she watches her future crash and burn. But that’s what happens when you wear clogs Martha.
Emma, you make a good point about clogs. No good can happen from clogs. I wonder if she likes crocks? Do you think she wore them in the shower when she was in… PRISON?
she did learn how to use a microwave while in prison !
You make a good point, my Eggton friend. I mean, it’s not like 2.0 LOVES iPhones. He’d be the perfect assassin…
If it were not for the fact that I know you adore me on multiple levels I would be convinced that you are trying to kill your sugar avoiding friend. But no, it is not true I know it.
I will also admit that when you said there is a chocolate room at baking school I gasped, felt tears in my eyes and then attempted to come up with a good reason to move to Halifax in the next 10 minutes. I might need assistance convincing my family and the chickens but I think it is worth a shot.
I’m not trying to kill you. I’m just showing you what awaits you when your body can handle sugar again. You know, so you know sugar and I are out here. Lovin’ ya.
Don’t chickens like chocolate?
This ice cream looks divine!
Thanks!
Chocolate room? OMG I just died…
A woman working in one of our local bakeries told me. I just stood in front of her with my mouth hanging open.
Just another reason to get excited about baking school! (And my iPhone. Because I’ll need to take photos and tweet the sh*t out of them.)
Movita – that looks truly ridonculously delicious! So glad we’re blog buddies :D. Thanks for your comment the other day, it was far too kind! It is winter though, you know. Ice cream, pah :D. (I want some).
Aw. Love ya, blog buddy! Also, I’ve contacted wordpress to work on your… situation. They assure me that they are working to keep us together. I’ll keep you posted…
oooh-a chocolate room, that would surely be the first place I would snoop into! White chocolate does sound like a delicious alternative to what I have been seeing out there. It just looks luscious and creamy-yum! Thanks for sharing this recipe and enjoy the weekend!
Happy weekend, Tina! Sending love out to ya!
I bet this ice cream is super delicious. I wish I had a bowl right now! Well done Movita.
Thanks!!
You’re the only reason that, as of 30 seconds ago, I have a Twitter account.
Movita,
It has come to my attention that Scott, a.k.a “Rembot.” (P.S. WTF), has learned to use the internet. It was only a matter of time because he’s a physicist, after all, and does quite a bit of programming, Who knew.
Anyway, now that we are both following your blog (and apparently Rembot is stalking you on twitter), we will try not to use your comments section as a place to air our grievances and resolve our personal disputes. But if this does happen from time to time, I promise to make you a referee jersey with your name on the back, that you can wear while blogging. Like I said, that would be a worse case scenario.
Toodles,
Katherine
Ahem.
“Eggton,” aka “Katherine,” aka “Should be taking Thunder to the backyard to do her dirty business right now instead of trolling the comments section on the intertubes,” apparently doesn’t know that Physicists invented the Internet and there’s no reason to try to make me feel bad about being late to the game and I’m obviously really good at it anyway and whatever, whatever.
So I’m sorry that she’s buggering it all up. I’ll toss the Food Bible in front of her to maybe distract her from all this.
You can have my iPhone.
Besos,
Scott
What about Al Gore?
I can’t believe how powerful I’ve become.
I am most assuredly not from Apple, you can make that clear to Mr. 2.0! If i were, I’d have my own iphone, wouldn’t i? But instead, i’m in your boat, patiently waiting for my chance… one day it will come!
also–CHOCOLATE ROOM? Will they let you take pictures? blog about EVERYTHING in baking school, please!?
Consider it done. (That’s why I need an iPhone, dude!)
Dear Rembot/Scott,
1. What the hell is a rembot? It’s something robotic right? As in: you’re the perfect roboman?
2. I can only imagine what your life with Katherine is like (read: awesome). Trust me, it’s only gunna get better now that your following my tweets.
3. Can I really have your iPhone?
4. If not, can you rustle up about 900 Facebook followers and 700 Twitter followers for me? I’m assuming physicists are good at these sorts of things (read: magic).
5. Please kiss Thunder on the lips for me.
Sincerely,
Your greatest Twitter Fan (movita beaucoup)
a. It’s proprietary. I’ll explain in a postcard accompanying the lil gadget from trois.
b. Seriously. Now we have things to talk about that aren’t Thunder or the mailman.
3. Yes, after I finish my current recipes on Bakery Story.
4. My followers are your followers, so, yeah.
0101. Thunder kisses with her eyes open, so you’re going to owe me for it.
Smooches, et al.
Dear Eggton/Katherine,
1. What the hell is a physicist? It’s something robotic, right? As in: he’s the perfect robot?
2. I can only imagine what your life with Scott is like (read: filled with boring science analogies), Trust me, it’s only gunna get better now that I’m stalking him on Twitter. I can make ANYTHING cool.
3. Can I really have his iPhone?
4. If not, can you buy me one?
5. Please kiss Thunder on the lips for me.
Sincerely,
Your Bestie, movita beaucoup
In the interest of brevity (for the time being) we have conferred and agreed that the answer to all of the above questions except number 3 is a YES. Number 5 got really weird, really fast, but what’s a little making out among family, right?
Alice Medrich makes lovely things from white chocolate with mint and white chocolate with lemon: combining it with mint is particularly fetching.
Sounds A-MAZE-ING!
this ice cream sounds amazing!! and your pictures are stunning! congrats on baking school as well 🙂
Thank you, thank you!!
heavenly!
I mean, what’s not to like about frozen milk, whipping cream and chocolate? Tee hee!
FIRST OF ALL, TELL 2.0 I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A APPLEBEES. I LIVE KINDA IN IN A WOODED AREA WHERE THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE STORE. NO GAS STATION.NEXT, I THINK YU REALLY DESERVE A IPHONE FOR SCHOOL, FOR EVERYONE IS GONNA HAVE ONE. YU MY DEAR DON’T NEED A SMART PHONE, TO CHEAP LOOKING.

I THINK 2.0 IS REALLY GONNA MISS YU WHEN YU GO TO SCHOOL. BUT, JUST THINK OF IT THIS WAY, YU CAN CALL ON YOUR NEW IPNONE…VIC
I am SO much more of a white chocolate than a regular chocolate lover. So I basically want to eat my computer screen right now thanks to you.
You’re welcome!
You know, I’ve never really “gotten” white chocolate. The whole idea is kind of oxymoron-ish to me. But I think I could definitely “get” this ice cream of yours and I think I just may have to! Your photos do a gorgeous job of selling it too by the way. (and you’ve probably been asked this before, but – have you ever thought of upgrading from 2.0? Of course I’m kidding, but the upgraded version might see why you absolutely must have an iPhone. Just sayin’….)
(and Movita, you are so darling to have tagged me on FaceBook! Thank you so much for that! It’ll be coming back around to you – I positively Love your blog and intend to shout it!)
Apparently, 2.0 IS the upgraded version. I guess once you’ve got the best… He’s also warming to the idea of an iPhone. Mostly because I’ve been talking about it non-stop for over a week now…
Sending some love right back at cha! xox
A… chocolate room? Really? That’s my dream come true. This ice cream looks so yummy, and I love the way you described it – “a pimped out version of vanilla”. That made me laugh.
RIght? A whole room dedicated to chocolate and the wonderful things you can do with it? I CAN’T WAIT!!
I have to say, I am quite a fan of white chocolate. I won’t sit and eat a bar of it like I will with milk and dark, but I’ll have the odd square.
It is definitely better in desserts though and this ice cream looks beautiful! I’m thinking I should make it next time I have Mars bar brownies. Nom nom nom.
Mars bar brownies topped with white chocolate ice cream? Genius, I say, GENIUS!!
People, head over to Julia’s awesome blog to get the recipe for Mars bar brownies. Then make this ice cream. Then jam your faces with the wicked combination and thank us later…
In my house we’d call this ice cream on crack! What an awesome way to celebrate!
Tee hee! It IS ice cream on crack!
YU TELL 2.0 THAT I DON’T WORK AT APPLEBEES….I AM DISABLED SITTING AT HOME, READING YOUR POSTS. I ALSO GO TO THE SITE WHERE I CAN BUILD THINGS AND DISTRESS…I AM SO HOPING YU HAVE A GREAT TIME IN SCHOOL. MAYBE ONE DAY YU WILL HAVE YOUR OWN SHOW ON T.V. TEACHING ALL OF US HOW TO COOK..AND YU WOULD HAVE YOUR IPHONE RIGHT IN YOUR POCKET…VICKIE HAPPY CHEFFING..
Blerrgh, white chocolate. I cannot imagine it tasting tasty, but I trust your at-this-time baking school-less skills to tell me that in some place, at some time, white chocolate can taste good.
I think Kanye would prefer dark chocolate to white chocolate. Or maybe not. Racially insensitive comment?
I’m with you about the worth of white chocolate, but your photos are so pretty that I might actually give this ice cream a shot!
Let’s face it, ice cream = good. It can improve just about anything…
Your enrolment in baking school sounds so exciting – I’m immensely jealous! I also love the look of your white chocolate ice cream – it looks rich, creamy and utterly divine.
Oh, yeah…I want this AND a brownie AND some hot fudge….heaven….
White Chocolate Ice Cream??? I’m not really an ice cream fan, but even i want this one!!! Wowsers!!!!
