Apparently, I am obsessed with frozen desserts, and think you should be too.

There’s something just so comforting about frozen treats. {Did you see Jon Stewart offer Robert Pattinson Ben and Jerry’s for example? hehe}

Because when things get rough? Frozen deliciousness makes it feel better.  Like an ice pack for your heart… ya know?

I’ve been a bit down lately – busy learning how to balance and fit in my new life in Copenhagen.  I’m so happy to be here, but you know: I miss my mom!!!!

And this incredible, low-fat, fruit-loaded ice cream helped me feel much better.  It truly, truly did.

Buttermilk Ice Cream with Peaches and Rhubarb

• 1 cup maple syrup
• 3 peaches, cored and finely chopped
• 1 cup finely chopped rhubarb
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups buttermilk

Combine the peaches, rhubarb, vanilla and syrup in a pot over low-medium heat.  Cook until fruit has softened and thoroughly mixed with the syrup, resembling a fruit compote.  Remove the pot from heat and cool.  Then mix completely with the buttermilk.  Pour mixture into a lidded container and freeze until hard.  Remove from freezer approx. 20 minutes before serving to soften.

Enjoy!!!!

  Homesickness for family is so normal, hope the ice cream helped soothe the soul!
