As you know, I tend to experiment a bit with flavors (no kidding, really?) and one thing that I have been experimenting with lately with freeze-dried fruit powders… in other words, freeze dry lemon or orange peel, strawberries, cherries, blueberries, or even peaches, and then make a powder out of them. I don’t actually go through all that work — I buy the already made powders. They are often marketed as a way to am up the flavors of smoothies or as an ice cream ingredient. They are very flavor packed and I like them. Stay tuned this summer as I play with some in drinks.

For Easter this year, I decided to try adding powders to white chocolate to make fudge. I also added technicolor sprinkles, which is so not like me, but you know, the strawberry looked a little “Pepto Bismol” flavored (it’s not!) so I had to do something. These are good, not great, but I’ll let you be the judge.
