Has anyone ever made or heard of this!

[Corey123]

I saw tonight, what I thought was the most repulsive and gross thing that you could ever imagine.

I was watching Emeril Live just now, and he was making some BLUE CHEESE ice cream!! He used gorgonzola for the blue cheese.

Has anyone ever tried this or has even had the courage to make some of it?

I don't think I'd want to try it at all!!

 

[Katie H]

I saw the episode, too, Corey. I'm not too sure about it either. I like ice cream and I like gorgonzola, but I think I'd have to have a little too much scotch in me to try it.

 

[Corey123]

I know that pregnant women eat pickles and ice cream and that ice cream goes with cake and I've heard of blue cheese dressing, but this, my God!!

What in the Sam Hill was he thinking?! Who is crazy enough to eat that stuff?
Obviously, there are some who would.

And yes you're right! I'd have to be drunk to try that myself as well!!

Well, sweet, sour and salty, are all unique qualities that can work together, but as for Ice Cream, I dunno...

I LOVE Avocado ice cream, and beets make a very good sorbet when paired with chocolate.

Not sure really, it might be good since it was combined with these other items.

Thanks,Amber!

Yeah, I saw that being made also, on that show.
No, I don't think I'd like that either!

Just give me the flavors of ice cream that I've eaten as a child and all my life.

The first thought that came to my mind was figs and either a lavender honey or a balsamic glaze. Pears also come to mind. I've made a blue cheese cheesecake - it was yummy.

I may have to make that one of these days - it sounds awfully good!

I tend to agree with this statement -

 

[Quadlex]

That sounds pretty good, to me. I think I'd prefer to use a blue bree however.

 

[Corey123]

Agggghhhh!!!! Still repulsive, gross and revolting!!

 

[sattie]

Hey, don't knock it till ya tried it... that is my motto!!! Who knows, it may be the best ice cream you have ever eaten!!! I do admit that it sounds strange. But I would definately try it.

 

[Corey123]

Good luck, because guess what? You can have it!!

 

[jpmcgrew]

I have been told by some people tha vanilla ice cream and a little fresh basil is really good.I would try that one.

 

[Corey123]

I'd probably try that one too, but not the one that Emeril made!!

 

[PA Baker]

I think if it's thought of it as a savory rather than a sweet flavor--like a blue cheese cheesecake is more of an appy than a dessert--it might sound more appealing. I'm not a huge blue cheese fan at all, but when pared with rest of that recipe, it sounds intriguing!

 

[obiwan9962]

it all depends on how much you like blue cheese/gorgonzola/roquefort
i love it
and yea ice cream i can deal with
i make alot of usual things at the restaurant
esp fruit soups
it's a fine line how you season these things

I agree, Sharon... I think it would be a good pair with my Fig Newton Tart. A l'il different.

i've had ice cream with cherry cheesecake mixed into it; it wouldn't be much different to have ricotta mixed in instead. maybe it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have gorgonzola instead? a guy i worked with who was the garde manger guy in a fancy kitchen told me that he learned that "if it grows together it goes together". since ice cream & cheese come from the same place maybe it could work. i'm sure it would be better than the cod roe ice cream that i saw on iron chef once. i don't think i'd even try that. (the judges said it was inedible btw)
