What better way to start a Monday morning out, than with chocolate! (And yes, in my book, white chocolate is still chocolate! And my fav.) I'm also celebrating someone special today, so it's a double whammy. My friend Stephie is getting herself hitched! Stephie and I share a love for pie crust.
Before we talk about this Samoa Cookie Ice Cream Cake, let me tell you about how my weekend went. Did you all have a good Valentine's day? I was showered with chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite) and roses and I made bacon mini burgers for dinner.
My individual strawberry crumbles are here to brighten my mood. I'm have been annoyed with the spring weather lately in Chicago. Day after day, I am confronted with consistent 40 degree weather in late April followed by one random day of 70 degree weather, and I'm a little frustrated.

Peach Cinnamon Rolls with a Cream Cheese Glaze: These fluffy, gooey cinnamon rolls are filled with fresh peaches, peach jam, and topped with a rich cream cheese glaze. These peaches and cream cinnamon rolls are love at first bite. If it were up to me, Mondays would look a loooot less like this and a lot more like this ↑↑↑.
Tangy buttermilk is tempered by the richness of egg yolks and cream in these miniature tarts. The lemon-kissed tartlets make a perfect base for the juicy berries, but nearly any ripe summer fruit - from sliced nectarines and apricots to halved cherries - could be substituted.
