Key Lime Doughnuts

Tried making some key lime doughnuts for my niece's birthday. So far I've gotten mixed feedback regarding the filling. It's either too much key lime flavor, or it's perfect lol. I will continue to work on it.

Blueberry Glaze Doughnuts

Made some blueberry glaze doughnuts. I'll be investing in a doughnut cutter next time. I feel like I'm going to be making them more often than I thought!

Key Lime Pie Macarons

My feet aren't as nice this time, but this flavor was great! I did a graham cracker ermine icing with lime curd in the middle. I'm still trying to figure out how to do a meringue decoration on top.

Is it possible to add a gelatin sheet to a margarita recipe to make it sorbet?

I was looking at a margarita recipe and wanted to make it into a sorbet for the summer by adding a gelatin sheet to it (I also have a good bit of frozen cranberries to use up), but I'm not sure if that will work? I think 1 sheet per 8oz is standard. Here is the recipe:

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1 1/2 cups silver tequila

2 cups no sugar added cranberry juice

3/4 cup Cointreau (orange liquor)

1 cup fresh lime juice

3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

1/4-1/2 cup honey, use more or less to your taste

zest from 1 orange

3-4 cups ice

rosemary and sugared cranberries, for serving (optional)

I'd appreciate any insight!

The Beginning of my Macaron Journey

These were really fun to make! I'd love to know everyone's favorite fillings! I filled these with vanilla ermine and raspberry jam.

This might be a long shot...

Does anybody have this cookbook that can tell me the chicken and waffles recipe ingredients list? I have the book at home and forgot to check what I needed before leaving for work this morning 🥲. I'm sorry if this is a stupid post. If anyone was wondering, I would recommend this cookbook, it's great!

I'm not sure where to start with this. I originally was using Salt and Straw's recipe in their book, but it had literally zero corn flavor. So, I tried using Salt and Straw's base, and part of this recipe too: https://stellanspice.com/corn-ice-cream/#wprm-recipe-container-13387

I didn't use sour cream or eggs. I pretty much took Salt and Straw's base and cooked it with the can of corn plus the cob, blended it, strained it through a sieve, and followed the rest of the directions from the Salt and Straw book. The flavor was much better, but my ice cream is.... Hard. Maybe it's because I didn't drain the corn water from the can? It tastes okay, I feel like I get some bitterness from the corn, maybe it's not sweet enough? I've thought about adding corn powder next time? I'm not sure what that would do with the texture.

If anyone has any information on what to do better, I'd greatly appreciate it 😅
