Irish Coffee Sundae
This winner of a recipe has two things that are absolutely essential to a good St. Patrick’s Day celebration: whiskey and coffee. You’ll probably want both at some point in the day. The fact that you can make the whipped cream green is an added fun bonus! My Irish Coffee Sundae really just has a few different pieces, but the most important one by a long shot is the homemade coffee syrup. Once you make this syrup, you’ll be finding all... Read More
Halloween Candy Ice Cream Cake
We’ve all been there in our childhood: In the after trick-or-treating candy coma. The tricks and treats are over, we’ve poured our mountains of candy treasure out of our pillowcases and traded Sweet Tarts for Rolos, Twix for Reese’s peanut butter cups, thrown off our tiaras and pulled back our masks and chowed down on our sweet earnings until it happens. The dreaded coma. And then we can’t even look at our Halloween candy again for at le... Read More
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Here in New England, ice cream consumption doesn't really drop off with the leaves in autumn as you might expect. After working at a small ice cream company for a few years, I realized that September and October were two of our biggest months! Our biggest seller by far this time of year was this super dense, creamy, and delicious Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream. The big secret to making this flavor so luscious on the tongue is to add lots of dried m... Read More
Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake
Tiramisu was the first dessert I ever got at a restaurant. I was on one of the first dates with my college sweetheart and she asked to see the dessert menu. It was kind of odd to me because I had never done that before, and also because I had just eaten a crazy amount of cannelloni and couldn’t imagine eating anything else. She wanted the tiramisu and said we would split it. I of course obliged, having heard of the dessert, but not knowing... Read More
Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream Cake with Butterscotch Sauce
Everyone needs a showstopper dessert up their sleeve – something that prompts an audible gasp from the crowd when it hits the table. My Coffee-Toffee Ice Cream Cake with Butterscotch Sauce is that dessert. It is ridiculous how easy both the cake and the sauce are. Can you mix? Then you can do this. The cold ice cream cake is smothered with warm butterscotch and it is heaven. The butterscotch starts to melt the ice cream and makes a gooey m... Read More
Pretzel-Caramel Ice Cream Sandwiches
Salted caramel is all the rage these days. I was eating a soft pretzel in Philly recently (the best place to eat a soft pretzel) when it occurred to me that the salty, dense bread would go really well with caramel. Because I’m an ice cream fanatic, the first thought was to sandwich some nice caramel swirl ice cream in between a sliced pretzel. The thing is, the holes in store bought pretzels are way too large for this to work. I had to take... Read More
White Russian Ice Cream Float
I own three DVDs. One is a workout DVD, one is a Neil Diamond live album, and one is The Big Lebowski. It’s one of my favorite movies of all time and I went through a phase where I drank a lot of white Russians just because, well, I like The Dude. It’s too hot these days for a simple white Russian. It needs to be colder! So that’s why I created The White Russian Float.  It’s a white Russian, but it’s so much cooler. As a form... Read More
Honey Nut Cheerios Ice Cream
I've been doing cereal milk ice cream for a while now, but I don’t think any have come out quite as delicious as this flavor! It even prompted one of my roommates to offer to invest in an ice cream shop that only sold cereal milk varieties. I think it’s actually a pretty good idea. You could make batches of all your favorite cereal-flavored ice creams, have crushed up cereals as the toppings, and even have some fun confections like the Ch... Read More
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ice cream sandwiches are a fun treat on a hot day, but it can be time consuming and a bit messy to make them individually. I came up with a little trick at my job to make large amounts of ice cream sandwiches with minimal effort, and I want to share it with you. The fun part of these sandwiches is using two ice cream flavors instead of one. This way you can make interesting combinations like peanut butter and jelly, or mint and chocolate. The... Read More
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Ice Cream
Have I ever told you guys about my day job? I may moonlight as a world famous food blogger, but that doesn't exactly pay the bills! I wake up and drag myself to work like the rest of you, and no one there knows about my secret life. At work, I make ice cream and gelato for a local artisan sweets company. Most of the time it’s pretty tedious (I make a lot of vanilla and chocolate), but sometimes I get to create new flavors and it’s really f... Read More
