Here's a newsflash: ice cream is hard to photograph. It melts. (Cloudberry Quark - bringing you the very latest in physics. Since, um, February.) Also our ice cream scoop is not made for scooping, I think.
One of the problems with having a food blog, I've discovered, is that I rarely repeat fabulous recipes after I've blogged about them. Because what would I have to blog about then? It really takes some begging to make me repeat things, and even then, unless I'm strictly supervised, I tend to... tinker.
This is more or less a repeat of the incredibly lemony ice cream from last month - the proportions are 4 yolks, 120 g sugar, 200 ml whipping cream, 100 ml light cream, 100 ml milk (or just 400 ml liquids to make it simple), zest and juice of two lemons and one fairly mild chili pepper. (It could have been zingier, is what I'm saying.) Throw in the chili with the lemon zest. The sauce is from Nigella's Forever Summer and is very simple: simmer 250 ml water and 250 g of caster sugar until it thickens (without stirring), dump in one finely chopped chili (again, not a mild chili necessarily), wait until it cools a bit, then stir and store in the fridge.

I tried photographing ice cream, too, a couple of weeks back. In the end, I actually started to like the look of all the melting puddles on the plate - but I guess I was the only one... Your attempt is pretty good, I think!
Well I think you did a pretty good job with the camera - I want to eat this ice cream right now! I'm absolutely going to try this.
This is my first visit to your blog but definitely not the last - I like the style, kind of pure and tranquil - the Nordic light?
Great icecream. I have the same problem. Repeating is boring if I want to have anyting to blog about. But also a pity that the favourites just are made once.
My family is always bemoaning the fact that I refuse to make the same recipe twice!
And I agree, ice cream is hard to photograph, I always freeze the bowl first to help keep it cool a little bit longer.
oh my god that looks so amazing, and your picture looks pretty good. I mean, really good.
I read somewhere that on TV they use mashed potatoes for "ice cream" because it melts in seconds, with all those bright lights.
I feel exactly like you about making recipes twice! It's like my diet revolves around the blog now,.
THIS is THEE ice cream! :-P I'd love to have a go. And good job with the picture, it's beautiful. It's quite common to use this kind of wax material in "professional" food shootings as ice cream. This I found out when I was on the 5th grade (my classmate's dad was/is a photographer) and the photos of ice cream have never looked as tempting since... So it's better to have the real thing with the melting effect and really make people drool ;-)
I do repeat recipes but I hear you in not re-doing. Blogging does have an impact on what kind of dishes you choose to try. And as it has turned out, not only ice cream but also several oven dishes are hard to photograph. Mushy is demanding.
Loved your idea of using a fancy napkin(? it prolly has a proper name too) as a background in the previous post!
Great idea! I've been going crazy making ice cream lately and I just love combining chili with sweets. Besides, it gives me an excuse to make a batch that only I'll like and have to eat.
Oh wow - those photos are absolutely GLORIOUS! And the recipe sounds incredible - lemony for me and a chile bite for hubby. The perfect match!
I guess every food blogger would tell you that they don't try the same recipe twice just because they wouldn't have anything to post about this way. Your ice cream looks fabulous and if you need somebody to clean up the mess from the melting ice cream , I would happy to help.
I absolutely love the look of that syrupy chilli sauce on the ice cream. Beautiful photos again.
Eva, half-melted ice cream does look appealing to me on the plate. It's just through the viewfinder that it drives me to a panic (mostly because those two were the very last scoops of that batch).
Görel, I like the pictures OK, but in all honesty it took a lot of tweaking on the computer to get them that way. And it's so stressful to shoot things that are literally melting away, regardless of the end result.
Oh, and welcome! I suspect the pureness has more to do with my great ineptness when it comes to props. Oh well, I kind of like it this way.
Kinna, indeed! Sometimes if something is beyond wonderful, I'll just go my pictures didn't turn out well enough, I'll have to make it again, but once it's posted... It's a bit stupid, maybe, but seems to be a universal issue for food bloggers.
Brilynn, oooh! What a good tip! It sounds like a good way to buy at least a bit of time.
Village Vegan, we all seem to share this problem!
Ylimuuli, I got the idea as someone begged me to repeat the lemon ice cream when I'd just read about lime/chili ice cream in Ruoka & viini. I'll have to try that, too. Y'know, just to make sure the ice cream maker gets used enough to justify its existence.
Monkey Wrangler, chili is SUCH a fabulously versatile spice, even when paired with sweets. With chocolate it does one thing, with lemon, there's quite a different sort of edge to it.
Jeanne, thank you! I hope you get the chance to have a go at it.
Rose, part of the stressfulness of shooting these came from the fact that we'd already eaten most of the batch - these were the last scoops. Rookie mistake?
Wendy, thanks! The syrup is a nice touch, and I still have some waiting for the next batch of ice cream...
You and I are thinking alike - chilli goes so well with cold dessert.
I made an Orange Chilli Ricotta Frozen Yogurt - the photo came out ok. I only had time to snap a dozen frames before it started melting.
I've just posted my photo - come take a look!
