Imagine my surprise when, amidst a heated debate about whether cauliflower can serve as a legitimate pizza crust, a new culinary absurdity surfaced: cauliflower ice cream. Yes, you heard it right.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust: A Misnomer
First, let’s address the cauliflower pizza crust situation — it’s not pizza crust! It’s merely mashed cauliflower topped with tomato sauce and cheese. That’s like slapping tomato sauce on a flatbread and calling it pizza. Honestly, what are we doing here?
Before you come after me with pitchforks, let me clarify: if you genuinely have dietary restrictions and can’t consume gluten or dairy, you’re off the hook. You can enjoy whatever you like without judgment. This rant isn’t about you; it’s for those who buy into the latest diet trends and try to impose them on the rest of us during our cherished pizza nights. Keep your mashed cauliflower away from my pizza!
The Bizarre Cauliflower Ice Cream
Now, let’s circle back to this bizarre cauliflower ice cream phenomenon. It consists of six ounces of frozen riced cauliflower, four ounces of frozen strawberries, a quarter cup of frozen pitaya puree (I have no idea what that is), sweetened condensed coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste. And just like that, you’ve concocted a dessert that could bring any adult to tears.
If you’re in the mood for non-dairy ice cream, there are far tastier alternatives. Coconut ice cream is a delight. You can even freeze a banana and blend it in a food processor without creating the travesty we’re discussing here. Cauliflower will always taste like cauliflower, no matter what you do to disguise it.
I must admit, though, I’m a bit curious and might have to try this for myself—once I figure out where to find pitaya! For more on related topics, check out this post on home insemination tips.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while culinary creativity can lead to exciting discoveries, some combinations simply miss the mark. And let’s be honest, some things are best left untried.
