I can’t think of a better way to enjoy the holiday weekend than this ice cream cake. We enjoyed making and eating it. The crust is made of graham crackers, peanuts, butter and sugar. It is chilled in the freezer and then baked until brown. I went with Dorie’s suggestion of vanilla, coffee and chocolate…

Three-Way Sugar-Cone Pizzelles
I put my husband in charge of this one for two reasons: first he is the official waffle maker of the family (this is a fancy waffle maker) and two he is an engineer. His previous experience with the waffle maker proved valuable and his meticulous engineering brain molded those cones with precision. Win-win in…
Salted-Chocolate Hot Fudge Sundaes
Chocolate and ice cream are our two favorite desserts. This one went over very well with the crowd. I made the salted chocolate bits but I am not sure it was worth it. This is the second time I have made salted chocolate and it just isn’t necessary for me. The fudge sauce is of…
Brioche Ice Cream Sandwiches
When I voted for this one, I fully had intended to make all the components but of course that did not happen. I used store bought ice cream and brioche bread but I did make the caramel sauce! These were a crowd pleaser. My son said he couldn’t wait to eat another one. I thought…
Roasted Figs and Bacon Ice Cream
I Heart Cooking Clubs Au Revoir, Chef Eric Rupert I got this recipe idea from SHIRLEY@EVEROPENSAUCE. This recipe was a grand experiment. Bacon ice cream? Who would of thought. Well Eric Rupert would have thought. I served this for a dinner party and it went over well except for my son who wouldn’t eat it. This…
Peach Melba and Raspberry-Cassis Ice Cream
French Fridays Around My French Table Before we officially say goodbye to summer, I was happy to make this Peach Melba and Raspberry-Cassis Ice Cream. It was a lovely summer dessert and one we would like to repeat. Peach Melba is named for the famed opera singer Nellie Melba. It is comprised of poached peaches…
Black-and-White Baked Alaska
Tuesdays with Dorie Baking Chez Moi This wonderful baked Alaska was the dessert for our Father’s Day celebration. The base is a flourless chocolate cake described as “fallen souffle with a brownie-like texture”. It was the perfect base because it did not get too hard in the freezer. I made anise ice cream from The…
Esquimaux Pops for Grown-Ups
I took Mardi Michel’s advice and made ice cream balls instead of the pops for this week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi. This is a no cook ice cream in which I used a pasteurized egg and the grown-up part is the inclusion of alcohol. I used Chambord as my liqueur selection. …
IHCC October Potluck Chocolate- Hazelnut Gelato
IHCC October Potluck Hotober is what the media have called this month in California and I would agree. We have had record breaking temperatures and it has been relentless. The best cure to beat the heat is ice cream! I decided to make Giada de Laurentiis Chocolate-Hazelnut Gelato. What can I say we loved it….
Piperade Stir-Fry
What we are making for French Fridays with Dorie. These ingredients screamed fajitas to me so that is what I made. Dorie says “Think of it as a salsa from Southwest France”. But I did not want raw onions, raw garlic and habanero in my dinner. To quote Mardi Michels I went rogue with this recipe….
