It was really only a matter of time before my Peach Strawberry Sorbet turned into a frozen drink. The texture is simply perfect for it, the colour already makes me happy, and on warm days, I can hardly think of anything better than a drink that sits somewhere between a cocktail and a slushy.

Frozen cocktails have long been part of summer in our family. The Strawberry Daiquiri is probably the best-known favourite and makes a very reliable appearance in our kitchen as soon as strawberries are in season. This margarita is a little different: fresher, slightly tart from the lime, and less sweet thanks to the tequila than you might expect from a drink made with sorbet.

The sorbet does several things at once here. It brings in the peach and strawberry flavour, creates the frozen texture, and makes any additional sugar unnecessary. Blended with fresh lime juice and crushed ice, it becomes creamy, almost silky, while still staying wonderfully cold and refreshing.

For the rim, I couldn’t decide between salt and sugar. Salt alone would have been too intense for me, while sugar on its own felt a little boring. A mixture of both works best because it brings out the fruit without making the drink any sweeter. With every sip, you first taste a little salt, then the lime, followed by the sorbet – and that is exactly what makes this margarita so good.

It is also practical that the drink can be blended in just a few minutes when guests stay longer than expected or you suddenly feel like having something a little special in the evening. The sorbet can wait in the freezer, and the remaining ingredients are things you will probably already have at home if you make margaritas from time to time.

This Vanilla Ice Cream Espresso Martini is both a cocktail and a dessert: bold espresso, coffee liqueur, and tequila meet a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream that slowly melts into the drink. It makes the Espresso Martini smooth, cold, and almost like an affogato served in a cocktail glass.

Sometimes, Classic Vanilla Ice Cream simply ends up in an Espresso Martini. This version is made for those evenings when you do not want to choose between a cocktail, coffee, and dessert.

To me, an Espresso Martini is one of those drinks that gets to be a little bit of everything at once. It is cold, bold, slightly sweet, and usually arrives at exactly the point when the evening has already been very good, but does not quite feel over yet.

For my version, I used tequila instead of vodka. It is joined by Kahlúa, a little sugar syrup if needed, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, ice cubes, and a fresh shot of espresso. The drink stays strong and slightly bitter, while the coffee liqueur adds just enough sweetness.

And then comes the part that turns the cocktail into a proper dessert: an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream placed directly into the martini glass.

The ice cream slowly melts into the Espresso Martini and changes it a little with every sip. At first, the coffee and tequila are still quite pronounced, but later the drink becomes softer, creamier, and almost reminiscent of an ice-cold affogato with coffee liqueur. That is why I skipped the classic coffee bean garnish altogether. The scoop of vanilla ice cream is already the main event.

This yogurt lime ice cream dessert tastes like an ice-cold, creamy limeade, only with crunchy lemon cookies and little pieces of meringue in between. Fresh, slightly tangy, and just sweet enough, it is the perfect summer dessert for hot days. The best part is that the dessert glasses can be prepared in advance and served straight from the freezer whenever guests stop by unexpectedly or an ordinary Tuesday could use something a little special.

Of course, the Yogurt Lime Swirl Ice Cream had to become a proper dessert. One that looks as though you spent a long time in the kitchen, even though it actually takes barely five minutes.

The idea mostly came about because I still had some lemon cookies and a few of those little meringues left over, and they were far too pretty to simply disappear into the back of a cupboard. So I layered everything in dessert glasses: crushed cookies on the bottom, creamy yogurt lime ice cream on top, and then a generous layer of crumbled meringue. A slice of lime on the rim, a little of the remaining lime swirl spooned over the top, and suddenly it looked very much like a carefully planned dessert rather than a way of using up leftovers.

We had actually planned to eat it straight away. Then we spontaneously decided to go out, so I simply placed the finished glasses in the freezer. To be honest, I was not entirely sure how the cookies and meringue would handle it. But the following evening came with a very pleasant surprise: the cookies were still crisp, the meringue had kept its texture, and the ice cream was, of course, exactly as it should be.

Ever since, I have thought that keeping ready-made dessert glasses in the freezer is almost a little ingenious. You open the freezer on a completely ordinary weekday and take out a dessert that is already finished, served in an ice-cold glass, with nothing else left to do.

Flavour-wise, it reminds me of limeade, only in the form of creamy ice cream. Fresh, slightly tangy, and sweet enough, with crunchy pieces in every spoonful. On a really hot summer day, this combination is hard to beat.

Bruleed Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Imagine tapping your spoon through a thin, crisp caramel shell to find ice-cold, creamy salted caramel ice cream underneath. That is exactly what this crème brûlée ice cream is: warm and caramelized on top, soft, cold, and slightly salty underneath. Every spoonful brings together shards of caramel and melting ice cream – and that contrast is exactly what makes this dessert so good.

A Little Love Letter

You probably know by now that I like things to be a little special. Not necessarily complicated, but whenever a small idea can turn a good dessert into something even better, I have to try it. That is exactly how this Salted Caramel Crème Brûlée Ice Cream came to be.

It started with my Salted Caramel Ice Cream, which is already perfectly good on its own. But then I started thinking about crème brûlée – more specifically, that moment when the spoon breaks through the thin, firm sugar crust. Probably one of the best sounds a dessert can make. Naturally, the question followed: why shouldn’t that work on ice cream too? It does. Surprisingly well, in fact.

Underneath the caramel layer, the ice cream stays cold and creamy. With the first spoonful, the crust breaks into small pieces that mix with the soft salted caramel ice cream. Sweet caramel, a little salt, and that contrast between crisp and creamy.

For the crust, I did not simply use regular sugar this time. I first melted it into a dark caramel, let it cool and harden completely, and then ground it into a fine powder. This allows the caramel powder to melt especially quickly under the blowtorch while adding even more depth and toasted flavour. It does not just taste like caramelized sugar, but intensely of caramel, which is of course perfect with the ice cream.

You can still skip that extra step and use regular sugar instead. The dessert works very well that way too. The caramel version is more for those days when you feel like a small kitchen experiment and a little extra effort suddenly seems entirely reasonable.

A Little Love Letter

Thursday, 7 a.m. While other people are still sleepily stirring their coffee, I’m in the kitchen puréeing fruit. Not because I have to, but because this sorbet wanted to get made and my calendar had no other slots left. This is what dedication looks like. The plan was actually a different one. Peaches were on the list, the supermarket had other ideas, and so it ended up being white nectarines. The recipe is still called peach strawberry sorbet, and I’m sticking with it.

That’s the beauty of homemade sorbet anyway: whether peach, nectarine, or whatever happens to be ripe and looking good, what matters in the end is that the fruit tastes like summer. Originally, the sorbet was also supposed to be two-toned, hence the two separate purées. Then I did some quick math on the extra waiting time that would have meant, and changed my mind. Both purées together, into the ice cream maker, done. And honestly? Best decision of the day. Sometimes impatience isn’t such a bad thing after all.

The result: a sorbet that’s fruity and refreshing, completely dairy-free, and feels like instant relief on a hot day. Sweet peach, strawberries, a squeeze of lime for freshness – that’s all it takes to make hot days a whole lot more bearable. And the best part: once it’s made, the sorbet waits patiently in the freezer for its big moment. Whether it’s unexpected guests, a warm evening on the balcony, or just a Tuesday that deserves a little reward. You’ll be glad it’s there.
