The other day Dustin was complaining that there was no more snickerdoodle ice cream left and that I should have made more. I completely surprised him when I opened the freezer and said, "I don't have snickerdoodle ice cream, but I do have maple syrup ice cream complete with maple creme cookies." He was pretty floored that I happened to have made...

Finally I made snickerdoodle ice cream! Since complaining about the ice cream shop in Seattle being out of their signature flavor, we have since made it back there and tried it. It was good ice cream, but for some reason I was under the impression that it would have chunks of snickerdoodle cookie in it. Well it didn't, so I was disappointed and...

I've been wanting to try the snickerdoodle ice cream flavor (a cinnamon ice cream with actual chunks of snickerdoodle cookie in it) at Bluebird Microcreamery, a small local ice cream producer here in Seattle ever since we went there towards the end of last summer. That first time, Dustin and I were sharing ice cream. Snickerdoodle didn't really...

Seattle's favorite doughnut shop recently came out with a line of doughnut ice creams, and as you can imagine, I was psyched to get into the cafe and try a scoop or two, particularly the apple fritter variety. The apple fritter is arguably Top Pot's best doughnut. So we went in and tried a scoop of the apple fritter along with a scoop of the...

This cupcake shop near us has started offering a line of Cupcakes 'N' Cream Ice Cream where they blend their cupcakes with freshly churned ice cream. Can you say delicious? This takes cake flavored ice cream to a whole new level. Obviously I am obsessed with this idea. I sampled some of the flavors at the bake shop and ended up going with a...

Mint chocolate chip is Dustin's favorite ice cream flavor, so it's something I've had on my to-make list ever since we procured our very own ice cream maker. I finally got around to making it and am very glad that I did. I toyed around with using fresh mint like I did with my mint chocolate chip cookies, but after some research I discovered...

Recently our Whole Foods had a one day cherry sale of beautiful red cherries from right here in Washington state on sale for $1.99/lb, so we went and stocked up. Be prepared for lots and lots of recipes with cherry over the next few days. Other than perfect weather, the best part about summers up here might be the fresh cherries. This should...

In keeping with my recent tradition of adding bacon to desserts (example one and example two), now I have added it to ice cream, brown sugar vanilla ice cream to be specific. I saw this ice cream at a deli when visiting my parents in Evansville, but passed on ordering it to be a little healthier. However, the idea stuck in my head, so I made it...

I have grown to appreciate the finer desserts in life, but when it comes to ice cream, I still like my nostalgic, childhood favorites the best. Cake batter, chocolate chip cookie dough, and ice creams based on other desserts are the best. Even better is when two dessert flavors are combined together. Trust me I thought about making some eggless...
