This rhubarb crumble ice cream is a variation of the rhubarb crumble frozen yogurt I made two summers ago. Thanks to the rhubarb, it’s sweet and tart, but the crumble and the ice cream base keep it rich and creamy. The other day my sister asked me whether I’d been using my ice cream maker this summer, and I […]
Real Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
Have you ever had mint ice cream made with real mint leaves, not mint extract? It’s actually quite different–it’s more mellow, but also more complex, with extra flavors from the mint leaves. Add in some dark chocolate, and you’ve got a killer mint chocolate ice cream.
Salted Caramel Vegan Ice Cream Bars
This recipe began as kind of a challenge to myself. Could I make layered, chocolate salted caramel vegan ice cream bars, even though I had never even made vegan ice cream or vegan caramel? It took a couple of tries, but the answer was a resounding YES. Along the way I learned some techniques for […]

Rhubarb Liqueur Float
Despite making a double batch of the rhubarb liqueur recipe I recently posted, it’s nearly gone. We did have help from friends at a party, but I can’t blame them entirely.

Salted Caramel Ice Cream
My baby sister’s birthday was last week, so my brother cooked her dinner and I baked her a cake. As she requested, I made her a black-bottom cake, and then went in search of a suitable ice cream flavor to go with it. I really only crave ice cream when it’s pretty hot outside, but […]
