First up was a Buttermilk Sorbet from Cooking Light. So light and refreshing, with a little tang from the buttermilk, this would be fantastic in the summer! I enjoyed it on top of a vitatop, out of the container, and topped with fresh berries :)
Buttermilk Sorbet w/VitatopTo use the bag of strawberries in my freezer, I also did a half batch of Strawberry Buttermilk Gelato, also from Cooking Light. Good thing, too, this was was just as good! I don't like to discriminate when it comes to ice cream... or nut butter, for that matter :) They each shine in their own right!
Strawberry Buttermilk GelatoAnd in other exciting eats, I finally tried a bowl of blended wheat berries (with milk and half a banana),a la Katie, topped with Heather's chocolate pudding. Delish!! Mine were probably half-blended, but i like the chew :)
And while I'm at it, visit Foods that Fit for a giveaway to celebrate her new site :)

Oh goodness, now I really want to break out my ice cream maker! And I'm so excited you made blended wheatberries! I usually half-blend mine too-- chew is important ;). I'm giving you three extra entries!
Oh my gosh, I need a freaking ice-cream maker. That buttermilk recipe sounds sooo freaking good.
Raw chocolate pudding on top of blended wheat berries...couldn't have said it any better myself. :)
OH! I love your homemade ice cream!!!
Blended wheat berries? That sounds like something I have to try!!
You've been very busy! I love buttermilk donuts, so I know I would enjoy your buttermilk sorbet.
I recently moved to Boston too for a postdoc. We should chat sometime :)
ohhh. that strawberry buttermilk gealto is calling my name - it sounds delicious :)
Wait!
Hello?
Strawberry buttermilk gelato?
Ummm where do you live? I'll be right over. (gelato is my downfall, seriously)
Yay for the ice cream maker! Your results look deeelicious :)
That sorbet sounds interesting. I just made some more yogurt sorbet. I'm obsessed.
ohhh my mouth literally watered at sight of the strawberry gelato.
These look so good - I think it's time to pull my ice cream maker out of hibernation!
They look so delicious! Especially that pink strawberry one, YUMMY!!
Whooo - tons of good lookin' frozen treats here - looks amazing!
WOW! I am so impressed and somewhat drooly (lol, sorry for the image) over these pictures! Buttermilk and strawberry buttermilk?! That's awesome. I love that you had some with a Vitatop. Sounds 1,000,000x better than any restaurant dessert I know!
I can't wait to try blended grains! I plan to experiment over spring break, fo sho :o)
Looks yummy. What's a vitatop?
And wheatberries for b-fast? How do you do that?
Thanks for answering the rookie food q's!
Delicious frozen buttermilk creations! Yum!
Strawberry buttermilk gelato? Holy cow does that sound good. Mmm. It looks great.
I like the snow in all your pictures. It soothes me. :)
The buttermilk sorbet sounds awesome! I'm sure freeing up space for both of these was well worth it!
You should make coconut sorbet next ;)
Rachel- Check out vitalicious.com for the muffin tops (mine was choc pomegranate). They're 100cal of protein, fiber, vitamins and yumminess :)
For the wheat berries, I cooked them in a large pot of boiling, slightly salted water until they plump up and start to "burst". Drained them, then blended with some milk.
Elina- that sounds like a VERY good idea :)
I've always wanted an icecream maker but can't justify another kitchen appliance - you may have changed my mind! :D
As if I didn't already want a Kitchen Aid with all my heart...now I know you can buy an ice cream attachment?!!
That is way too fabulous for words.
I am always looking for new buttermilk recipes. I can't wait to try a frozen treat!
Seriously, this really sound like goodness.
Cheers,
elra
i was asking my sissy this yesterday, whats the major difference in gelato?
You're one of those people who makes their own ice cream. I should have known. ;)
Wow this looks awesome, but I don't have an ice cream maker. Booo for me.
Delicious looking homemade gelato and sorbet!! : )
wow, i'm so impressed with all the frozen buttermilk amazingness!! i bet it adds such an extra layer of flavor to the ice cream/sorbet.
This makes me want to use up my strawberries for a very good cause now... :)
I wish I'd known about the buttermilk sorbets when we were covering frozen desserts in class! Those sound delicious. Maybe it's time to break out the ice cream maker?
I want an ice-cream maker too!
I like the sound of a frozen buttermilk ice cream.
This is fa. Just recently made yogurt saffron ice-cream..& have to say your sorbet looks like the way to go!!!
