Kit Kat Ice Cream

kit kat ice cream recipe

What I really should call this ice cream is "Kitty Cat" ice cream. My children are getting to the point where homemade ice cream is no longer impressive to them. They are so jaded. I try to tell them that not all mom's make their kids ice cream from scratch. But they don't believe me. When I made this, they were skeptical, but once they tasted it, they begged for more. "Mama, can I have some more kitty cat ice cream?" Maybe I still can impress them every now and again. This recipe comes from … [Read more...]

White Dream Ice Cream

white dream ice cream recipe

Many years ago, I worked in an ice cream shop that made all of its ice cream.  White Dream was one of our signature flavors.  It is a vanilla base with white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.  I am not sure the exact recipe, but this is close.  I use my Vanilla Bean Ice Cream as a base for all of my flavors, and it makes such a smooth, creamy, and rich base.  I love it.  I cannot wait to make some raspberry and peach when we settle down and get into our new house. I am typing this … [Read more...]

Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Sundaes

milk chocolate peanut butter sauce

This is one of the easiest desserts I am ever going to share with you.  You put some milk chocolate chips, peanut butter, syrup, and cream in a saucepan.  Then you melt it.  Stir.  Pour the milk chocolate peanut butter sauce over some ice cream (I like vanilla, but chocolate is good too) and sprinkle some salty peanuts on top of that.  Done.  I can do that, and I think that you have it in you too.  Sweet and salty is my downfall.  I like to make this for dessert when people are expecting … [Read more...]

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

vanilla bean ice cream recipe

Simple vanilla bean ice cream.  Is there really anything better?  I know that most people don't like a bowl of plain old vanilla ice cream, but I do.  I love that the vanilla flavor shines and that all you have is a cold creamy bowl of goodness.  Not only is vanilla bean ice cream perfect on its own, but it is would be a perfect accompaniment to a warm apple pie.  Or truly decadent alongside this croissant bread pudding.  And just downright sinful on top of this brownie with maybe a little … [Read more...]
