In preparation for this year's Valentine's Day, I decided to experiment with a new recipe I had in my collection of ideas. This recipe is for homemade, faux ice cream and there is no better time than Valentine's Day to give it a test run when sweets and desserts (real or artificial) are plentiful and adds a decorating element to the table.
A delicious vanilla ice cream sundae topped with heart-shaped sprinkles is the perfect dessert for my upcoming Valentine's Day tablescape even though the sundae is not real.
It still looks yummy even though it is fabricated, doesn't it?
Smooth and creamy even though it is not edible. Yet, it can still dress up a table.
This rich and silky treat is actually made as follows and is never edible even though it looks so tempting:
Faux Ice Cream
1 C White Hair Conditioner
1 C Corn Starch Powder
Mix together until blended and "serve" with an ice cream scooper in desired dish. Garnish with sprinkles of your choice. (A drop or two of food coloring can be added to change the color and "flavor" of the faux ice cream. In addition, if unscented hair conditioner is used, a few drops of fruit, mint or other essential oil can be added to also add a scent to the faux ice cream.)
This recipe is an inexpensive way to take your tablescape to a new level of realism.
