ALZHEIMER'S IDAHO SUPPORT GROUP DESSERT

If you follow this blog you know that I make the monthly dessert for the support group for Alzheimer's Idaho (local grassroots organization).  4th of July themed cupcakes and ice cream on the menu last Friday night.

Ever since I made Nigella Lawson's coffee ice cream I have been looking for other similar ice cream recipes and found one in this Caribbean Pineapple Lime ice cream.  Thought it would pair well with the pineapple cream cupcakes.
