Sladoled od zamrznutog jogurta i višanja/Frozen yogurt & cherry Ice cream

Please, scroll down for recipe in English

Mjesec srpanj nacionalni je mjesec sladoleda i svakakvih smrzastih lizalica ;) 

Ovog puta bez kuhanja smiksala sam sladoled s jogurtom i jednostavno ga zamrznila.

Za sladoled kažu da je najstarija slastica na svijetu, a k tome i najpopularnija.

Prema jednoj priči, još su prije 3000 godina Kinezi poznavali sličnu recepturu koja je oduševila Korčulanina Marka Pola koji je nakon povratka s Dalekog Istoka prvi puta o njoj pisao 1292.g. kao slastici koja se služila u dvoru Kublaj-Kana. Kažu da su kasnije po njegovim recepturama na talijanskom dvoru spremali sladolede kao slasticu rezerviranu za bogatije slojeve ljudi.

Sladoled se i spremao na dvoru Catharine de Medici koja je tajnu recepturu odala svom suprugu, francuskom kralju Ferdinandu II. Kasnije se iz Francuske sladoled proširio i u Englesku, a nakon 18. st. receptura više nije bila tajna i počeo se širiti i preko Atlantika. Već 1774.g. u New Yorku sladoled se mogao kupiti na ulici, a tek u 19. st. počeo se proizvoditi u Europi u zanatskim radionicama.

Talijani još uvijek igraju veliku ulogu u ovoj kremastoj slastici pa stalno pronalaze načine kako je poboljšati. Tako, primjerice, na ulicama Rima možete pronaći sladoled od kamilice, što je meni fascinantan podatak. Radila sam ga jednom u kućnoj izvedbi i mogu samo reći da sam bila oduševljena :)

Na ovim vrućinama koje dosežu svoje granice funkcioniram jutarnjim odlascima na plažu, ponavljanjem do sada naučenog jer mi se ispit bliži, a u međuvremenu kuham. U zadnje vrijeme, a možda je i ljeto tomu pripomoglo, privlači me talijanska kuhinja, tako da ubuduće od mene možete očekivati većinu toga u tom stilu :)

English version

July is a national month of Ice cream.

The story of ice cream begins a long, long time ago in a most beautiful place. The story of ice cream begins over 3,000 years ago in China.

In 1292, Marco Polo, a great adventurer, returned from China to Italy with a new recipe for making snow ice cream. His recipe called for mixing yak milk into snow in order to make it creamy. The idea of mixing milk into snow ice cream caught on and soon the rich people of Italy were enjoying frozen milk.

In 1533, Catherine de Medici of Florence (Italy) became the Queen of France when she married the French king, Henry II. One of the things she took with her when she moved from her home in Italy to her castle in France was her recipe for making frozen milk. Soon, many of the cooks in France were making the delicious treat. One French chef opened a shop to sell the tasty treat. He was the first cook to add flavors like chocolate and strawberry to the frozen milk.

When Charles I of England visited France in the 1600s, he was served frozen milk. He loved it so much, he asked the French chef who served it to him to sell him the recipe. Charles I took the recipe back to England with him and the rich people of England began to eat the delicious cold dessert.

In 1700, Governor Bladen of Maryland, who was from England, served ice cream to his guests. Seventy-six years later, the first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City.

In 19th century the ice cream was produced in Europe in the craft workshops.

Italian people still play a big role in this creamy desserts, and constantly finding their ways to improve it. For example, on the streets of Rome you can find chamomile ice cream, which is a fascinating figure to me. I did it once in a home version and I can only say that I was thrilled ;)
