Kaffir Lime and Gin Ice Cream
Kaffir lime leaves are somewhat hard to come by but well worth the effort. You can find them in Southeast Asian markets, either refrigerated or frozen. This ice cream is just begging to crown a warm, toasty fruit cobbler in need of a perfumed, citrus element.
Lemon Ice Cream
Sweet and tart, light and creamy, more than a little like lemon meringue pie. If you've only ever had lemon sorbet, give lemon ice cream a chance.
Meyer Lemon Ice Cream
Make the most of seasonal Meyer lemons with a sweet-tart ice cream that's refreshing and light.
Scooped: Kaffir Lime, Ginger, Star Anise Sorbet
Star anise contributes more depth of flavor, elevating this from a citrusy ice to something more exotic. You don't need much, and it doesn't need to steep for very long to impart its flavor. The coconut water base is subtle and anise easily overwhelms everything it touches. But when your flavors are balanced, you'll be rewarded with a dessert that's bright and exotic, with a tinge of gingery heat and a kiss of licorice sweetness.
Lemon Ginger Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream
This ice cream pairs a bright, slightly spicy lemon-ginger base with a dark, sweet, and tart blackberry swirl.
Toasted Coconut and Lime Ice Cream
Nutty coconut and bright lime come together in an especially creamy ice cream.
Kumquat Tart
Everyone's had a lemon tart, so why not kumquat? I couldn't resist creating a dessert that used the mighty kumquat as the focal point.
Coconut-Palm Sugar Ice Cream
Palm sugar lends a soft caramel flavor with a tinge of butterscotch that makes this ice cream special. Add coconut milk, eggs, and pandan to the team and we've got a combination of flavors that South East Asians have enjoyed for ages.
Saffron, Honey, and Orange Ice Cream
This ice cream is all about balance: heady saffron, floral honey, and bittersweet orange zest.
Scooped: Black Sesame and Orange Ice Cream
In Asia, black sesame ice cream is as classic a flavor as vanilla in the States. The rich, roasted flavors of the seeds are a perfect match for a light custard.

Islas Flotantes de Coco (Coconut Floating Islands)
Though some recipes call for baking the meringues and then slipping them into the custard, I follow the more traditional route and poach them. A bite reveals that these islands are rather more like clouds.

Scooped: Jasmine Tea and Rose Petal Sorbet
After my Thanksgiving excesses, I needed to atone. I also needed to shake my head clear of the pumpkin-spiced everything clouding my culinary imagination. This sorbet was as easy to make as a pitcher of iced tea, but much more refreshing.
Cardamom Caramel Palmiers Recipe | Bake the Book
Palmiers are some of my favorite cookies. I'd always thought of them as the perfect combination of flaky pastry dough and crisp cookies mixed with just the right amount of caramelized sugar. But this recipe for Cardamom Caramel Palmiers from Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich took these cookies to the next level by mixing in aromatic cardamom and a pinch of salt.
Vegan Cardamom Meringue Cookies With Strawberry Compote
Aromatic cardamom and a strawberry compote masks any 'beaniness' in aquafaba meringue cookies.
Sweet Coconut Soup with Fruit Pearls
Sweet dessert soups are common in East and South East Asia. I'm partial to those made with coconut milk, which make a silky base for inclusions of fruit, red bean, tapioca pearls, and jellies. Spherified fruit juices combine the best of these add-ins: intense fruit flavor with a dynamic, juicy texture. I used guava juice, but use whatever flavors (perhaps in combination) you like.
