Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream

Don't let its loveliness fool you. The lemon packs a lot of punch and the poppy seeds provide a fun little crackle with each bite. 

Inspired by one of my favorite treats: lemon poppy seed bread.

Lemon Raspberry Sorbet

It's a million degrees outside. Coming from Colorado, the hot humidity of DC summers just makes me want to melt. Thank goodness I write an ice cream blog, right? Cold treats are always on hand. I can't think of any sorbet more refreshing on a day like today than this one. It's tart and sweet—but not disgustingly sweet like some Italian ices. Plus, the raspberry morsels and specks of lemon zest make it pop.
