Sweet Workin' It

Workin’ It: Sorbet Sandwiches (Michigan Fruit Part 3)

I want my whole world to be the color of strawberry sorbet. I’d like to match it to the paint sample of my life. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Click here and here for the first two posts. Check back for the last recipe next week! (This just might be the recipe I was most excited to show you!) Let’s make these components, assemble, and freeze! We’ll have them handy for…

Vegan Chocolate Cake Blizzard

I could eat ice cream every day. Winter or summer, hungry or full, before dinner or after dinner, today and tomorrow. Lately, I’ve been into soft serve of the chocolatiest-chocolate variety. I’m into blizzards and flurries with mix-ins. The more chocolate the better. So, I figured, why not make a vegan remix! I knew I wanted to use this chocolate coconut milk ice cream because it’s the creamiest and dreamiest. And these cookies are cakie like…

Speedy Banana Cocoa Ice Cream

I crave ice cream daily. It’s just the truth. So I thought I’d try this frozen banana business since it’s an ice cream that is ready for snacking quickly! You just need frozen bananas, cocoa, vanilla, and more chocolate. Top this with hot fudge for a remixed banana split! Go ahead and freeze a few freckled bananas. Blend it up! Add malt powder even (Man! Now I wish I would’ve!) and enjoy every bite without worrying…

Sweet Potato Ice Cream + Maple Glazed Pecans

This ice cream tastes like Thanksgiving. It tastes like the first sweet potatoes I ever liked served sweet (since I tend to like my sweet potatoes in a quesadilla). You see, last thanksgiving, my mom made the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for sweet potatoes, and they tasted like heaven. They had a streusel-ish topping with pecans. But really, what’s better than a dessert in a side dish’s outfit? Here’s my question: could you serve this ice cream with your…

Fruity Boozy Ice Cream Floats

If you want to impress your dog bake him these treats. If you want to impress your bread, make this jam. If you want to impress your sisters, make strawberry infused vodka and orange creamsicle ice cream floats. My sisters aren’t my neighbors. One lives in Illinois, the other lives in Minnesota. So when I knew these two lovely ladies were going to stay with me this weekend, I knew I needed to get girly with…

Custard & Co. {date night}

Our apartment is a major hottie. And not in the “good-looking” way, but rather in the “too hot to make a salad” way. So we opted to go out for dinner (again), and follow it up with frozen custard. I’m a waffle cone kind of girl. Jake’s a rainbow sprinkle kind of guy. We talked about tattoos and shorts. I totally recommend you try this place. The chocolate custard reminds me of French Silk pie, and…

Chocolate Ice Cream

Chocolate ice cream is my favorite ice cream of all the ice creams. Jake’s been asking me to make it ever since I made vanilla for our hot fudge sundaes while there was snow on the ground. I’m a total jerk for waiting this long to make it. I know that now. That photo up there is what the base looks like before it’s refrigerated for hours. That’s my face reflected in it’s lovely brown…

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie + Vanilla Coconut Milk Ice Cream

Sometimes pie makes me nervous and that’s a shame. I’m excited though because the July 5th Pie Party totally motivated me to make this lovely pie! You see, this party is happening to encourage people to just make pie and not worry about it being perfect. No drama. So, it’s time to just make pies and to love them just the way they are! (Like Mark Darcy and Bridget Jones! …anyone?) My mom is a pie…

Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream + Double Chocolate Cookies

Caramel ice cream is the prettiest ice cream of all the ice cream. It’s prettiness was the main reason I wanted an ice cream maker. The combo of this frozen goodness and these cookies is love. That’s what all the silly arrows, asterisks and that heart mean. So after a few pep talks to myself and after reading through the recipe 57 times, I finally felt prepared to tackle all the sugar-melting and caramel-making. Jake…

Cookie No Dough Ice Cream

I resolve to make a lot of ice cream this year. And I resolve to make swiss meringue buttercream again because it’s fluffy like a cloud. I also resolve to wear an apron so that I don’t get flour and chocolate all over my jeggings. But in non-baking life, I want to try to stop thinking about “what if” situations. It makes things harder. Like “what if I would’ve paid more attention and not put…
