Have you ever savored creamy, custardy Persian ice cream before?

Have you ever savored creamy, custardy Persian ice cream before? Now vegans and dairy-free dieters can enjoy the dreamy signature blend of saffron, pistachios, and rosewater in this coconut milk-based ice cream. The saffron gives the ice cream a beautiful golden hue; the rosewater imparts a redolent, floral perfume; and the pistachios offer a nice, contrasting crunch to the richness of the coconut milk.

Scream For It! Rocky Road Ice Cream

Rocky road ice cream dates back to the Great Depression, when this ice cream combination was named "rocky road" to put a smile on the consumer's face during tough times.

Rocky road ice cream dates back to the Great Depression, when this ice cream combination was named "rocky road" to put a smile on the consumer's face during tough times. Even today, I'm pretty sure a spoonful of homemade rocky road ice cream is bound to put a smile on just about anyone.

This is a custard-based ice cream, so the final product is exceptionally creamy — but for great texture, pay attention when you are cooking the eggs, since with just a little too much heat it can curdle in a flash. For the chocoholic in me, I added extra chocolate chips to the traditional marshmallows and pecans. Put a smile on your face when you keep reading for the recipe.

Scream For It! Coffee Ice Cream

Warmer weather means it's time for cool treats and our favorite frozen dessert is ice cream.

Warmer weather means it's time for cool treats and our favorite frozen dessert is ice cream. It's such a versatile dish; it can be made in countless flavors and can be used in endless desserts — that's why we're screaming for ice cream this Summer! In our new series, we hope to provide you with the best ice cream ideas.

Although you can purchase a pint at practically every gas station in America, I prefer to make homemade ice cream. It tastes so much better and once you've mastered the basic technique, it's not that hard to make, as the process is similar for most flavors.

You do need time: the base has to chill before being put into an ice cream maker and the final churned mixture should freeze a couple of hours before serving. To kick-start the series, I've got an amazing recipe for coffee ice cream. Get started on it today and enjoy a bowl or two this weekend. Here's the recipe.
