I had some some beautiful pink peppermint ice cream so I decided to transform it into little ice cream cakes for a Valentine’s Day treat. In miniature form these cakes are basically ice cream sandwiches with cake instead of cookies for the crust.

Peppermint ice cream has a reputation of being a Christmas flavor but it doesn’t have to be reserved for the winter holidays. Its beautiful pink color is just right for Valentine’s Day and its cool peppermint flavor makes it a refreshing choice when you’re trying to beat the summer heat.

I still remember the first time that I tried a Cookies and Cream caramel apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory so I decided to make them at home. They are super easy to make. Simply swirl the apples in melted white chocolate and then dip them in crushed Oreo cookies.

Sorbet is a lower fat alternative to ice cream and makes a refreshing dessert or snack. It is very simple to make – all you need is fruit juice and a little bit of sugar. The nice thing about making it at home is that you can control the amount of sugar added.

The ever-popular Halloween candy presented the perfect inspiration for a fondant layer cake. I knew that I could use basic food coloring and get perfectly colored candy corn layers. This time I wanted to see if I could achieve a similar result with natural dyes.

Though chocolate and avocado seem an unlikely pair, they share some rich, comforting qualities and make a surprisingly good match in this chocolate avocado cake.

The name of these cookies -chocolate revel bars – is fitting because you will take great pleasure or delight in eating them. Fortunately, I made them for a gift otherwise I would have had a hard time not eating the whole pan in one sitting.
