Yay my very first big giveaway contest I am so excited. For details keep reading all the way to the end. I you have been following my blog for a while you probably have figured out I am big on ice cream. And with spring here and summer arriving…its ice cream season baby!

I have been working on less then traditional flavors too. If you recall my last one was Roasted Black Sesame Seeds ice cream. This time I am going Provencal on you. Today we will make Lavender Ice Cream. Recipe is below.

Lavender ice cream is actually the first less traditional flavor I have ever had. I remember it so well. I was at Meu Meu on St-Denis Street (my fave ice cream spot in town) and after ordering this unusual Lavender scoop I sat on one of the barstools of the ice cream bar and had my first bite.

I was in heaven. It was so good. I wanted more. I wanted to make my own. I wanted my very own ice cream maker. That was a few years back. I put in on my Christmas and birthday list (yes as an adult) for 2 years and I never got it. I asked my mom why and she said she did not think it would be something I would use very long. I was disappointed.

I could not financially excuse the personal expense either. But that dream was finally realized last summer while I was visiting a friend in Toronto. She was moving and cleaning her place. She had one and said she was going to sell it. SOLD! I screamed. She actually ended up offering it to me as a gift. I have been making ice cream every since. So when I was able to pick my prize I knew right away it was going to be an ice cream machine. I want to bring you the joy mine has brought me!
