I used a combination of cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips which resulted in a mellow chocolate flavor, perfect for my Neapolitan ice cream. But the best part about homemade chocolate ice cream is that you can use your favorite chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate or any other specialty chocolate.
Happy National Ice Cream Day! We like to celebrate ice cream all year long but being that July is National Ice Cream Month and today is the actual ice cream day, I wanted to share with you something special: Homemade Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwiches.
This year we kicked off summer with strawberry ice cream. In addition to our inaugural strawberry shortcake, we transformed some of the juicy red berries from the berry patch into a sweet and refreshing frozen treat.
Patriotic Pop-Tarts are the perfect 4th of July treat. Raspberry jam “stripes” and blueberry “stars” give natural color to these little American flag hand pies.
If you’re searching for a quick yet festive dessert for a {belated} Father’s Day, the College World Series, a baseball team party or any other baseball-themed party, look no further. These Baseball Brownies à la Mode are perfect for any baseball fan and the combo of chocolate cake or brownies, vanilla ice cream and raspberry jam is a homerun.
Whether you call these pigs in a blanket, hot diggity dogs, corn dogs or hot dog pops, these chicken sausages baked in buns are a kid and crowd-pleaser. They are perfect for parties and they make a healthy snack or meal.
In this comforting and rich version of French toast made with a pumpkin quick bread, the soothing and intoxicating pumpkin mixes with sweet maple syrup, crunchy pecans and homemade whipped cream to make a decadent breakfast that could easily pass for dessert.
Bite-sized carrot cake squares covered in white chocolate? Yes, please! Naturally-dyed cream cheese frosting carrots add the finishing touch. Happy Easter!
Maybe it’s the thought of Easter bunnies munching on carrots but carrot cake makes me think of spring and Easter. In reality, the warm, spicy flavors of ginger and cinnamon make this an equally satisfying treat during the fall and winter or any other time of year.
The pastel colors of the naturally-dyed buttercream frosting are perfect for Easter. And my son loved yet another way to decorate Easter eggs.
