I love this dessert because it's simple, colorful and fresh. It takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare and in total about 1 ˝ hours including baking time.

This dessert is fantastic for a child's birthday party or a summer B-B-Q I've seen kids eyes pop when you cut into this watermelon bombe and adults love it as well. For the mold use a stainless steel 3 quart bowl.

Makes about 1 quart

Ingredients:

1 cup organic sugar
3/4 cup filtered water
3 1/2 cups seedless watermelon flesh

Makes about 1 quart

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups whole organic milk
2 vanilla beans
5 large organic egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup organic heavy cream

This recipe is amazing. When I tell people that I don't use chocolate or food coloring to make this ice cream, people flip out. The only mint and chocolate flavoring I use is home grown organic chocolate mint. When you steep the mint in the organic milk, the natural green color from the mint leaves gives the custard a beautiful sage color. You need a lot of fresh, chocolate mint, but it is well worth the reward. Additionally if you can find organic green eggs at your local farmers market, grab them. The extra richness and elegant flavor that green eggs add to this dish elevate the richness of this recipe.

This classic white cake comes out very moist with a delicate chewy texture that everyone will love. The buttercream is made with an Italian meringue which is the most stable type of meringue and is used to make frozen desserts and soufflés. This is a two layer cake. If you wish to have a three or four layer cake, make an additional cake layer. When choosing edible flowers make sure they are organic. You do not want edible flowers that have been sprayed with pesticides.
