Fluffy Banana Cake
This is another one of my mother's old recipes.
Chef John's Strawberry Semifreddo
My lighter, no-cook adaptation of semifreddo skips the traditional egg custard and cuts down on fat, sugar, and time. It just so happens to be lighter, with a cleaner, more distinct berry flavor and a texture that's less creamy than classic semifreddo, falling somewhere between strawberry ice cream and a strawberry ice pop.
Kulfi
Kulfi is a delicious Indian ice cream dessert. I got this simple but delicious recipe for kulfi from my sister-in-law. I have made it several times, and it always gets rave reviews - even the kids love it! Add a few drops of rose water or some ground pistachios for a different flavor.
