The Basics: Vanilla Ice Cream
There's nothing like fresh-churned homemade ice cream. It's cool, but melts in your mouth, creamy and smooth, and when compared to a grocery store variety, has a richer, cleaner, more pure taste. To make ice cream you need an ice cream maker and a little skill, but most of all, it requires patience.
Yummy Link: Root Beer Float Pops
By now you've probably noticed that this Summer we are officially obsessed with Popsicles. How delicious do these root beer float pops sound?! They're a combination of vanilla ice cream and root beer with a cherry garnish.
I Scream, You Scream We All Scream For Ice Cream!
Not only is today National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, but it's the ice cream cone's birthday as well! Charles Menches is credited with inventing the ice cream cone when he began scooping ice cream into pastry cones at the 1904 World's Fair. Nearby ice cream venders caught on and historians believe that there were over 50 ice cream stands serving ice cream in cones by the time the fair ended on December 1st.
Summer of Sandwiches: Vanilla Caramel & Saltines
What I'm about to say is going to sound a little crazy, but you're going to have to just trust me on this one. When I was a little kid, my uncle took me to an ice cream factory that made the most amazing ice cream sandwiches. There was a rich layer of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two crisp saltine-style crackers.
Summer of Sandwiches: Classic Choco-Vanilla
Last week YumSugar kicked off our new summer series - 14 weeks of ice cream sandwiches - with a delicious mint ice cream and cone cookie sandwich. For my first sandwich I thought it would be nice to begin with the classic chocolate cookie/vanilla ice cream combo. These little gourmet sandwiches - they're gourmet because they are homemade and much more sophisticated than their convenience store cousin - are super easy to make and involve NO gadgets!
Keeping It Simple
I love to go crazy making an expert level dessert with layers full of syrups, cakes, creams, and frostings, but I also love creating a supremely simple dessert with one or two easy components. It's because desserts are like handbags, one day you choose your Dior and the next day you feel more like your Target.
Yesterday I was in the mood for an intricate princess cake with marzipan dome and today all I want is vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Come Party With Me: Father's Day — Dessert
While planning a Father's Day menu, the most important thing to do is ask dad what he wants. The day will be more special if you involve him in the process. Since my dad is a fan of no-fuss classic cuisine, I originally thought to serve him homemade vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge sauce for dessert.
The Basics: Pear Crisp
A crisp is a deep-dish fruit dessert that's topped with a crumbly oat, butter, and flour mixture. It's a fabulously easy and versatile finish to any home-cooked meal. Once you know the basic topping ingredients, you can use whatever fruit is in season.
