What’s on the menu:

  • Fresh Fruit Granita
  • Frozen Custard and Frozen Yogurt
  • Stone Fruit Sherbert
  • Dulce de Leche
  • The best Root Beer Floats and Banana Splits

After guest teacher Rose Wilde taught a Mini-Intensive earlier this year about sorbet, ice cream and gelato, we started getting a lot of questions. Namely, you wanted to know: what about all the other creamy, frozen desserts out there? What’s the deal with sherbert—and does it only come in rainbow colors? Is granita something that has to be made by some kind of specialized machine? Is frozen custard just another name for ice cream? And can frozen yogurt possibly be as easy as it sounds?

So we asked Rose to come back, and thankfully, she said yes. Over the course of two more sessions with Rose, you’ll get answers to all those questions and more. Rose will elaborate on the frozen dessert matrix, helping you to understand further how simple ingredients—sugar, dairy, eggs, fruits, citrus—are turned into desserts with such a huge range of textures and uses. As always, we’ll embrace seasonal fruit and fresh herbs to create treats that are much more than just sweet. And Rose will bring her enthusiasm for the seriously homemade and give you ideas on how to serve your creations as extraordinary banana splits, root beer floats and more—complete with homemade dulce de leche, a concoction that Rose calls “peanut butter magic” and a shattering, satisfying chocolate shell.

Didn't make it to the frozen desserts Mini-Intensive earlier this year? Don't worry! You can purchase the recording of both sessions for just $9.95. We encourage (but don't require) you to watch them before this Mini-Intensive.

This Mini-Intensive consists of two sessions, each 90 minutes long, on Monday, August 25 and Tuesday, August 26.
