It is starting to get steamy in West Virginia! My plants and I are drooping pretty good come 4 pm so I made myself some sweet and salty Watermelon Ice Cream to reward myself after watering the plants. This is a no-churn frozen dessert that is easy to make and requires no ice cream maker.
I know that not everyone has seen warm temperatures come to stay where they live, but here in the south, we're seeing spring fade quickly into summer. And when summer rolls around, I find myself craving cold sweet treats-like ice cream and popsicles!
Raspberries and Cream Popsicles for the win! With the warmer hot weather rolling in, keeping some frozen treats on-hand is a must-have in our home! We all know what that means - POPSICLES! Who doesn't love a sweet treat that is not only delicious, but can cool you off on a hot summer day?
Welcome to the second addition of Cookie Dough Week! I am so impressed by the creativity of my blogging friends, and I only wish I could taste it all! I think today's recipe round up is packed with heavy hitters. We've got deep fried desserts, decadent ice creams, mile high cakes and bite sized truffles.
Nailing down big mama's vanilla ice cream is darn near impossible but I got as close as I possibly could. After asking for the recipe over the phone, I was told to add some heavy cream, half and half, sugar, eggs and yolks, vanilla and a bit of flour to make it.
Oh. My. Gosh. YOU GUYS! I made the most wonderful, best tasting, most addicting (and healthier) frozen treat ever. It only has 4 ingredients, it's ready in a flash, and it's a Disney Copycat. That's right my peeps: I made you a copycat Pineapple Whip (aka Dole Whip).
Lots of homemade salted caramel sauce, strong-brewed espresso and vanilla ice cream come together in this classic Italian dessert. Affogato. Affoga-WHAT?! Let's forget about the tongue twisters and just call this complete heaven.on.earth. Okay, so heeeeey! Happy Thursday otherwise known as the day before FRIDAY!
Okay, I love making popsicles, no surprise there. I've been wanting to make a wine popsicle for quite some time. But I wanted one that really showcased the wine. I love using wine as an ingredient but not just to dump it into some sangria with no consideration to the tasting notes.
Last year my family and I spent a few days in Charlotte, NC. We played at the Discovery Place Science Center, explored the NASCAR Hall of Fame and ate at some fantastic restaurants. One of my favorites restaurants was Pikes Old Fashioned Soda Shop.
This Crème Fraîche Ice Cream with Triple Berry Sauce is both beautiful and decadent. It's a most wonderful sweet treat! Crème fraîche ice cream? Oh my, yes. I'm pretty sure this is the creamiest, most decadent ice cream I've ever sunk a spoon into.
