Morellis Ice Cream - East Atlanta

Morellis Yup, let me add my voice to the rave reviews: Morellis is absolutely worth the trip down Moreland Avenue to East Atlanta. G-man and I ventured down to Morellis on Friday night.  We both opted for waffle cones -- Bordeaux Cherry Chocolate for Gabe and the Ginger-Lavender for me.  Sublime!  And the vibe is great too -- families, kiddies in PJ's, geeks, freaks, the full tilt East Atlanta/Ormewood experience.

Next time I'll forgo the waffle cone and just have my ice cream in a cup.  Though the texture and crunch of a waffle cone is great, I'm not a sweet freak and for me the cone gunks up the pure flavor of the ice cream.

Flavors, did you ask?  Oh man, the signature flavor look amazing and we'll have to keep coming back to sample them one by one.

  • Dulce de Leche
  • Coconut Jalapeno
  • Sweet Corn
  • Death by Chocolate
  • Red Bean
  • Karachi Kulfi (made with rose water, cardamom, and ground pistachio)
  • Banana Chocolate Chip

I am so going there to try that Karachi Kulfi.

Seriously, I don't know whether to thank you or curse you for letting me know that this place exists. Just what my fat ass needs...

What I'm Reading

What I'm Cooking

  • Cheap Ceviche
    This is almost a mock ceviche because it's made with junk fish (tilapia) and surimi, the tofu of fish. However, with the right amounts of lime juice, cilantro, onion and hot sauce, even cheap fish makes a fabulous ceviche. I chopped up a 1/2 pound of tilapia and combined it with 2 packages of chunked surimi. Marinate in juice of 5 limes, 1/2 red onion chopped fine, and one head of cilantro chopped fine. Add a healthy squirt of Sriracha sauce and refrigerate.
  • Collard Greens
    My CSA is sending us lots of green love in the form of collard greens. Here's my very delicious veggie-but-smoky recipe. In a large pot add 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 cup water. Nice pinch of salt, and 3/4 tsp. Spanish smoked Paprika. Add your chopped collards and simmer gently for at least 45 minutes.
  • Tzatziki Sauce
    Just outstanding on everything. Take a container of Greek style yogurt (no-fat, low -fat, doesn't matter). Grate 2-3 thin skinned middle eastern cukes on a box grater and squeeze out all the water. Mince 3 cloves of garlic VERY fine. Stir cucumber and garlic into yogurt, add a splash of olive oil and a grind of black pepper. Dunk in vegetable of your choice, slather on spanakopitas, etc.
  • Polenta
    Apparently the par-boiled polenta I'm using is considered ca-ca by serious cooks. I've found it to be utterly delicious, especially smothered with sauteed portobello mushrooms. I will give plain old yellow cornmeal polenta a try after Thanksgiving.
  • Hangar Steak
    Grilled in a cast iron pan in the oven, on broil. Remarkably tender and so quick. Salt, pepper and smoked paprika for seasoning.
  • Brussels Sprouts + Corn
    A smashing combination -- the bitter tang of the Brussels Sprouts with the sweetness of corn. Saute with olive oil, salt and pepper. C'est tout!
  • Stuffed Cabbage
    My favorite recipe From the NY Times Jewish Cookbook, made with fresh cranberries and canned cranberry sauce. Total yum.
