When God Closes A Door...

It's probably because there's a big freakin' draft. What were you, Jesus, born in a barn?

I ran out of crème brûlée ice cream last night (yes, I used the "when God..." line for ice cream, did you really expect me to be less tacky?). I used it in an attempt to make a malted shake. Sadly, I didn't even have enough for that, so I ended up with malted milk with some ice cream flavour. Hey, at least I got use the malt powder. Now to turn it into homemade Whoppers.

Now, since I made said ice cream, it's not like I can't get more. But it does open up a container that was previously full. So the question is... what flavour to make? I currently have some mint chocolate chip and lemon meringue tea ice creams in the freezer. Do I make another batch of the crème? Another round of Cool Britannia (which involved making shortbread, fudge sauce, and strawberry ice cream)? Perhaps some green tea? Pick up some cheap Matcha to use in there? Earl Grey tea, ice cold? A sorbet? Peanut butter? Dulce de Leche? Perhaps something more exotic? So many choices. Decisions will have to be made.

Perhaps towards to lighter side of flavours. It is summer after all. I promised someone I'd make them sorbet... or more Cool Britannia. Hrmm...

What a quandary!

I can see why you are beside yourself in anguish.

It is a hand that you'll ultimately be forced to play though. And, no way to wait for the flop to help out the decision tree, I fear.

How about a caramel or butterscotch. I like to make a sauce but it'd make a killer ice cream. Also, a caramel malt is a favorite of mine. Its really a tasty malt that few get to beyond the classic flavors.
