Olallieberry Milk Pudding

Another combination of flavors that Dylan concocted during our olallieberry-brainstorm yesterday on the way home from picking olallies = milk + cardamom + olallieberries. So, I came up with an olallieberry milk pudding for breakfast this morning. Super fast and super tasty!

2 C milk
1/4 C organic granulated sugar
3 eggs, beaten
dash of ground cardamom
splash of pure vanilla extract
2 T flour
3 T butter
handful of olallieberries, rinsed, dried, and smashed + olallies to garnish the individual servings

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently bring to boiling, stirring, then turn off heat. Whisk the eggs and milk together over a low to medium heat. Add in the cardamom, vanilla, sugar, flour. Whisk until smooth. Continue whisking until the pudding coats the back of a spoon. Remember it will thicken as it cools. Incorporate the smashed olallies and watch the pudding turn to a pale pink. Stir in the butter until it's completely melted and the pudding is glossy. Serve warm or chill in the fridge for a thicker version. Garnish with fresh olallieberries.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
