Toasted Hazelnut Coffee and Nutella ice cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Today’s dessert is nutty, creamy sweet and delicious. It’s almost impossible to go into an ice-cream shop and not see a coffee flavored ice-cream. So I decided that us home cooks should have one in our arsenal as well. And this recipe is even better than the ones in the parlor because its jam packed with toasted hazelnuts and Nutella. As if coffee ice-cream needed to get any more awesome than it already is!

Honey roasted pistachio matcha ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Honey Roasted Pistachios, crunchy and delicious in some sweet creamy smooth matcha green tea ice-cream. This ice-cream brings back childhood memories of summers spent in NY and several trips made the Ice-cream Factory to fill my face with pistachio grape-nut ice-cream; Creamy sweet crunchy perfection.

Maple Bacon Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

Maple syrup, milk, bacon, cream cheese; this ingredient list would make anyone think your cooking up breakfast. But you’re all the way at the other end of the spectrum making a deliciously sweet and salty dessert.

Cotton candy ice cream with ginger snap cookie

I have several favorite ice-cream flavors and cotton candy is among the top three. This ice-cream takes you back to your childhood. One of the most nostalgic ice-cream flavors comes to your kitchen with a little new addition of the crunchy ginger snap cookies.

Chocolate cupcakes with Ganache n bacon

"Feast of Saint Valentine"

Well if is isn't chocolate and meat....again. This time good ole bacon. 

Remember as a child, when you did not want your food to touch? Your eggs bacon and pancakes had to be totally separated. Then you grew a little older and accidentally had pancakes, bacon and syrup all in one bite. You enjoyed the salty sweet combo. To seal the deal Mc Donald’s introduced the bacon egg and cheese mc griddles and you dared to brave this new territory of salty sweets. Yes I remember too, I think everyone on earth realized at the same time, how great a combo it was. I’m sure that’s when the world council unanimously decided that bacon should top everything, not just a breakfast plate.  And I totally agree with their decision.

Christmas Candy Crush Cookies

"Christmas is coming"

Here I am yet again with another baked item despite the fact that I hate to bake. This cookie dough really did stress me out quite a bit, but it turned out great in the end.  I could never have done Christmas recipes without at least attempting a gingerbread cookie. These babies are actually a cross between a short bread and ginger bread cookie. Very high fat content makes it nice and crumbly, with the sweetness and ginger undertones.
