Thank you, Dolores of Chronicles in Culinary Curiosity because I was waiting for some ice cream! I have made this once before, and of course, did not have enough foresight to take pictures of it. Guess I'll have to make it again *snaps fingers in an "aw shucks" manner*.
Such an interesting ice cream with such a delicious flavor. I'm not crazy about the texture, because I found it a bit chalky both times I made it, but I wonder if it was because I used frozen blueberries rather than fresh. It still doesn't stop me from eating it. I would eat chalkboard chalk if it tasted like ice cream, because ice cream is my one weakness.
I never ate chalkboard chalk as a child. Sure, I dabbled in glue tasting here and there, but I'm off that now. It was the 80's, we weren't worried about all of this crazy stuff that parents are faced with now, like transfats, the internet, and the effect of the Wiggles crazy dances on your brain. I'd take eat Elmer's glue over the watching Wiggles anyday.
What happened to the days of Fraggle Rock, The Disney Afternoon, Rainbow Brite, The Wuzzles, Jem and the Rockers, Thundercats, NINJA TURTLES!? When Saturday morning cartoons were actually good?! When we actually used animation?
I feel old.
And I just went from talking about chalk to ranting about 80s cartoons.
So what does ice cream go well with? I was going to make an ice cream sandwich, with the blueberry ice cream sandwiched between to white chocolate chip cookies. Or two lemon cookies. But as I was cleaning my kitchen, one item stood out at me. My beloved Belgian Waffle Maker. I asked for all sorts of crazy kithcen stuff for Christmas (yes, I still give my parents a Christmas list at the age of 26. And I'll never stop. But I've grown up now. I actually create a housewarming registry at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was their idea! Please don't judge me. I feel like an awful person.), and my most exciting gift was this waffle maker (is my life sad?). So I made a whole wheat waffle (I had to cancel out the negative effects of the ice somehow.) and some blueberry maple syrup (Just take equal parts blueberries and maple syrup and reduce). A. La. Mode. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, check please, wham, bam, thank you ma'am.

What a great idea to make the ice cream into a waffley good dessert. Looks wonderful.

Jem and the Holograms and Ninja Turtles were the best! Come to think of it, I really miss Jem.
Delicious looking post. Waffles and blueberry ice cream look great!

I loved Jem and the Holograms! I even had 2 Jem dolls, regular pink-haired Jem and Jem Gold. Those were the days. Boy, I feel old too! lol!
Waffles sound delicious with the blueberry ice cream, I need to get a waffle maker. :)

Great idea putting this ice cream on a waffle! We just had waffles this weekend too (I barely ever use my iron either), but no ice cream to put on top, unfortunately!
Posted by: Carmen | August 12, 2008 at 01:10 PM
Ooooh... I remember Fraggle Rock! And I'm 29 and I still give my parents a X-mas list, and will continue to do so until they tell me to stop! :-) Yours looks so delicious on the waffles.

Your pictures are my favorite so far. I could all most taste it through the screen. Wow great job!
Posted by: Michelle | August 12, 2008 at 01:31 PM
Yummmmm. What a great combo!
Posted by: Judy | August 12, 2008 at 01:56 PM
This combination would be such a hit around here with my guys...going to pursue that this coming weekend...thanks for sharing your ideas: always like to come here for the ideas and inspiration. My Belgian Wafflemaker is one of the favorites around here, too. I bought it for a Christmas gift for a family member and ending up keeping it and getting them another one. And, justsoyouknow, I would never judge you...LOL!

Beautiful!! And there's nothing (I mean nothing) wrong with giving a Christmas list at 26. ;)
