A few weeks ago I pinned a yummilicious ice cream recipe that inspired today’s brownie batter ice cream. A die-hard Coldstone Creamery fan, cake batter ice cream has my heart, so when I contemplated using brownie mix to flavor homemade ice cream, I’m pretty sure the hallelujah chorus sounded! Did I mention that this ice…
Fresh Mango Sorbet
Last week I promised a taste treat made from the gorgeous golden mangoes dropping into my front yard. How about mango sorbet?! A taste of the tropics straight from your freezer is just what this summer ordered. Sorbets are a great option for light, refreshing desserts that suit all ages & especially cater to those…
Bailey’s Hazelnut Ice Cream
Bailey’s hazelnut ice cream, the latest frozen sensation rocking out my freezer, happened by chance. Craving ice cream with a pregnant vengeance, Husband hurredly strapped the baby onto his back and we strode directly to the supermarket in search of ice cream ingredient inspiration. Nearing the dairy fridge he gallantly spotted a BOGO deal on…
Cookie Coated Ice Cream Mounds
Ice cream mounds coated in cookie bits are a simple, yet fabulous way to woo your dinner guests. They’ll think you’ve emerged fresh from the 1950s, a hostess refining every glittering detail. A strand of pearls, vintage dress, and heels are your choice, of course, but you might just be tempted to don the full…
Truly, Madly, Deeply Chocolate Ice Cream
I love chocolate. I probably dream about it, but unfortunately only wake up with recollections of wacky dreams with absolutely nothing to do with food. Bummer. Anyone else dream of their house falling over sideways after watching CNN’s documentary on the Costa Concordia cruise that went down in Italy? I didn’t think so. Wacky, I…
Crème de Menthe Chip Ice Cream Recipe
Last week I had a request for mint chip ice cream. If you know me well, you’d know I’d never pull this flavor from the freezer aisle at the grocery. It’s just not my thing. Give this girl chocolate overload with chunks of brownies and cookies and choco-swirls, oh my! and I’m all yours. Anyway…the…
Heaven on Ice and Some Real Flutzes and Waxels
No, Ice Capades doesn´t have a new lineup (although my mom and grandma would likely be 1st in line!) Heaven on ice, in this reference, means Straight. Up. Ice Cream. My friend Lindsay once shared with me that she imagined heaven to be a glorious place where one could lounge upon and nibble at giant…
‘Tis the Season for Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
This month’s Flavor of the Month is celebrating autumn’s favorite vegetable: pumpkin. When I saw Bridget had posted this theme, I smiled as I came to the exciting realization that this was my perfect opportunity to try cooking with fresh pumpkin. Many thanks to Bridget for encouraging this, as I’m very pleased to tell you…
Apple Pie Ice Cream
I love Blizzard’s, McFlurries, and Cold Stone Creations. It’s fun to pick out the yummy bits and pieces of the mix-ins and to play the artist putting together a culinary masterpiece. Except for one time at Cold Stone with my friend Amanda, who put together a horrific combination involving raspberries, gummy worms, and some kind…
