Oreo vanilla Mint

Call me the Dairy Queen 

It’s Friday and FINALLY, the end of ice-cream month. This has been the longest month of my life and if I never see a box of heavy cream for the next 6 months I’ll be just fine. Today we have a super delicious creamy, perfect scoop of mint, cream and cookies. Its cookie and cream 2.0

Banana Rum Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen 

A banana ice-cream generally wouldn’t be high up on my list. Any time we have over ripe bananas we opt for delicious and moist banana bread. However this ice-cream has made me realize that we might have to start making an exception to that rule. I’m not a huge fan of bananas but I loved this ice-cream. If you love bananas this may be the ice-cream you need to try. Its rich and creamy bursting with banana flavor with hints of rum undertones.

Jackfruit Grapenut Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

This very large tropical fruit is now a delicious creamy ice-cream bursting with jackfruit flavor and filled with crunchy grape-nuts for added texture. Just opening the quart container, the smell of the jackfruit hits you as if you were eating the raw fruit. The fruit has been perfectly captured in this ice-cream.

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.

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice-cream

Call me the Dairy Queen

This ice-cream will be the hit will all the cheesecake lovers out there. Unfortunately I am not one of them. I could never wrap my head around eating a large chunk of cheese and butter. I generally peel off the crust and eat that with a little strawberry topping. However as a cheesecake hater I will say this ice-cream is quite good.  The consensus from everyone who has tasted it is that it tastes exactly like cheesecake. I think it taste better.

Cotton candy ice cream with ginger snap cookie

Call me the Dairy Queen

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.

Butter popcorn ice-cream with caramel and cracker-jack

Call me the Dairy Queen

This month is National Ice-cream Month in the US and it’s still “summa summa summa timeeee”, so I decided a month of delicious, unique and extravagant ice-creams are in order. Today I present to you the most delicious ice-cream I have ever made to date. (I still have 8 more to go for the month so that may change) It’s so creamy and buttery, taste exactly like butter popcorn with the addition of cracker jacks and caramel makes it even more perfect!

Cookie 'n' cream icecream cake

Cake Cake Cake...

As the years go by it seems that there is less and less cookie in an actual cookie and cream ice-cream, blame it on the economy. The cookie has always been the best part of that ice-cream flavor for me. What I began to do, rather than a ready-made cookie and cream ice-cream, I would go to a done to order cold stone or froyo joint, where I can add as much cookies as I would like. But sometimes you don’t want to wait in line, you want to open your freezer and have it your way. And as we know there is no better way to remedy culinary shortcomings by making the dish in question yourself. So I attempted to create a cookie and cream ice-cream with an overload of cookies…just the way I like it.

3 Ingredient Chocolate Shake

 "Feast of Saint Valentine"

Next to hot chocolate, a milk shake is the most common of the chocolate beverages. However I was sure no ice would be blended in this shake. 1 I don’t have a powerful smoothie blender, and 2 don’t you hate when the ice and other ingredients settle and separate? Yuk, so I came up with this simple recipe that is beyond easy using no blended ice. Best part is you already have all the ingredients…hopefully

Orange Hot chocolate

"Feast of Saint Valentine" 

There is just something about a rich warm cup of hot chocolate that makes you feel warm, fuzzy and special inside. If you’ve read my post on a chocolate orange crepe you would have already known I have an obsession with the flavors of orange and chocolate paired. I don’t know what it is, but I think the sweet citrus aromas of an orange with milk chocolate are just the perfect match. In my book, nothing else pairs better with chocolate; not mint, not strawberries, not even hazelnut (sorry Nutella). Orange and chocolate equal’s bliss, and this orange hot chocolate is blissful.
