Reduce Your Food Waste with Cake Scrap Ice Cream
Hittin' the scraps No Images? Click here Level Up Your Ice Cream by Leveling Your Cake Don't worry, we're not here to suggest anyone has to bake a cake as part of some sub-recipe for ice cream—that would be completely extra, even for us. Instead, we're here to suggest saving the trimmed-off tops leftover from layer cakes and stockpiling them in the freezer. Cake trimmings are a thrifty and fun mix-in for ice cream, and they're rarely in short supply in the kitchen of an avid baker. More ways to use kitchen scraps Fresh pineapple is a luxury of its own, so make the most of it by putting the core (and eyelets) to good use in this fresh, no-cook syrup. Have leftover cheese bits hanging out in your fridge? Give them new life as pockets of beautiful melted cheese set in a custard base. |
