Scooped: Apple, Browned Butter, & Sour Cream Ice Cream

The time has come for us to end this ice cream series, October being halfway to Halloween. We wanted something to complement fall's palette of desserts: crumbles, crisps, cakes, and quickbreads, filled with apples, pears, walnuts, and cinnamon. With that in mind, apples and sour cream were a no-brainer, a lusciously tart rejoinder to rustic late-harvest food.

Scooped: Lemon, Honey, and Brandy (or Guggle Muggle) Ice Cream

With no Jewish grandmother in sight, I made the common cold cure-all drink my family has always whipped up in the face of illness: a guggle muggle. If you hail from Mittleuropean or Slavic Jewish stock, the thought of a guggle muggle probably warms your heart and soothes your throat. I set out to unify the diverse and diffuse guggle muggle camps under a banner they could all get around: ice cream.

Clementine Sorbet

Mild, easygoing clementines make this sorbet taste like a dairy-free creamsicle.

Strawberry Sorbet

The quickest, easiest, most intensely flavored strawberry sorbet. Our recipe calls for just fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and a hint of salt (trust us on this).

Rich, Tart Lemon Sorbet

The title says it all: this is a smooth, sweet-tart sorbet that's perfect for summer. Or dinner.

Pear, Riesling, and Ginger Sorbet

Pears, sweet-tart Riesling, and spicy ginger come together in a sorbet that's ripe and juicy with a clean, refreshing heat.
