Looks like Yum and I are not the only 2 people who are crazy about ice cream sandwiches this summer. When I went for cocktails and tapas at Two last Friday with my gal pals we ordered the trio of ice cream sandwiches. They were delicioso!

I spotted this recipe in Rachel Ray's "Everyday" Magazine last night at my mom's house and they look so darling and delicious. I think I could make this recipe even better by substituting crushed Oreos for the ice cream cones.
Cupcake + ice cream = happiness!

So crispet1 and I were very psyched to step up to this month's challenge. We again teamed up and created two recipes--but what's unique is that both recipes started out with the same base ingredients: fresh Asian mangos, fat-free yogurt and vanilla ice cream.
And from these three basic ingredients, we came up with two great ice cream recipes: a mango frappe and a scoop of mango ice cream with sticky rice!

Okay, partysugar posted this recipe about making peach ice cream like 2 months ago, and I made it the next day, but I haven't been able to get the pictures off of my camera until today, so here they are. Better late than never I suppose! :OY:
boiling the peaches in water
cooling the peaches in an ice water bath
softening the peaches in sugar and lemon juice
Infusing the milk and cream with peach skins and pits
Egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla mixture
Yes, it's true, my kitchen is filthy.

Ladies, I just had the best tasting ice cream flavor I have found in a while. I am quite the ice cream freak and can be quite picky about a good scoop of that wonderful;y frozen delight.
I picked up this Blue Bell Anniversary Cake Ice Cream at the local grocery store and it is just fabulous!!

Ooooh goody!
I found such a cute valentines day dessert, so eager to share with everyone.
This recipe is just like the one I always make for special occasions, except for the heart shaped part.
