Pumpkin Ice Cream

November 11, 2011 |

I enjoy homemade ice cream pretty much all year round, but once the fall rolls around I get so wrapped up in traditional Thanksgiving foods, and then Christmas, that my ice cream maker is typically pretty quiet from Halloween through New Year’s. One recipe I have been wanting to try for seemingly ever is pumpkin [...]

You all know how in love I am with homemade ice cream – to date, I have 25 ice cream-related desserts posted on the blog, and there pretty much isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not dreaming up a new concoction. Ice cream made at home is infinitely better than any store bought [...]

A couple of months ago I was on a serious malt kick. I had ordered some malted milk powder from King Arthur Flour and went on a malt bender; most notable were the Chocolate Malted Whopper Cookies and Malted Vanilla Milkshake. Seriously delicious. The malted milk powder takes just about everything to another level. Chocolate, [...]

I didn’t realize when I zeroed in on this recipe that it was yet another ice cream recipe with alcohol in it. Two weeks in a row of boozy ice cream, look out! My apologies. Sort of. I definitely can’t apologize for this ice cream though. Because it’s amazing. It’s certainly not your run-of-the-mill vanilla [...]

I used my fair share of alcohol in sweets for my birthday (Tiramisu Cupcakes), St. Patrick’s Day (Guinness-Milk Chocolate Ice Cream, Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes), Cinco de Mayo (Margarita Cupcakes), and the Kentucky Derby (Chocolate Bourbon Walnut Pie) but haven’t used any since that 6-week period. I guess my taste buds knew it had been [...]

I have been wanting to make roasted banana ice cream for what feels like forever. I finally got around to it this week and am totally smitten. If you love bananas, you will positively fall in love with this ice cream. It basically tastes like a frozen piece of banana bread. And it doesn’t take [...]

Ahh, ice cream. One of my very favorite comfort foods. In the summer, nothing beats a trip to the local ice cream stand for my standard order – a chocolate and vanilla twist with chocolate sprinkles. And ever since I got the ice cream attachment for my KitchenAid mixer, there is usually a constant supply [...]

Back when I talked about my Florida vacation and all of the wonderful things about it, I included all of the ice cream that I ate. We made a habit of polishing off a cone just about every evening, which I of course loved! While on vacation, I fell in love with the Chocolate Peanut [...]

Oh, the goodness that is salted caramel… anything. Sauce, frosting, cupcakes, brownies, caramel apples, ice cream. It seems that whatever salted caramel touches in the kitchen turns to gold. There’s something about that smooth, buttery, sweet, salty and almost nutty flavor that transforms just about anything into the best version of itself. I have had [...]

My history with the combo of beer and chocolate has been less than memorable, so I haven’t tackled it much on my own. Quite a long time ago I was attending a work conference out in California and had lunch at a place called the Yard House, where the beer list may have actually been [...]
