Foodie Friday: You'll Scream For This Ice Cream

 

Sunday is National Ice Cream Day. So today's post is all about ....you guessed it....ice cream! We did an Ice Cream Sundae Bar on the 4th of July. It was a big hit. Any type of participartory mealtime event is always fun for a crowd.  Going out for ice cream is a fun summer tradition. After perusing this post, you just may want to stay in. 

Pina Colada Nice Cream

This is another no churn frozen dessert with a banana base. Add some coconut cream and coconut rum, and you have a boozy summer treat.  

The Rogue Brussel Sprout

Lavender Honey Ice Cream

How appealing, right? This recipe calls for making a custard...old school. But the steps just might be worth it. You'll need some culinary lavender. I sourced it for you at Amazon.

Frolic And Fare

No Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Have you noticed how good strawberries are this summer? They are expensive, too. At the Farmer's Market organic strawberries were $12! But they were the best strawberries I ever had. This recipe calls for store bought cheesecake. And that's such a step saver.

The Cozy Plum

Ice Cream Sundae Flute Glass

Serve your homemade creations with style. Let's face it, ice cream cones are messy, but these glass cones are both chic and mess free.

Anthropologie

Coconut Sorbet
I grew up on homemade coconut ice cream, but I never had it made in a sorbet. It sounds so light and refreshing. The best is that it can be made in a blender or ice cream maker.

No Churn Chocolate Bar Ice Cream

I'll be trying this on very soon. The perfect chocolate fix!

Half Baked Harvest

No Churn Southern Banana Pudding Ice Cream

The ingredients include cream cheese and vanilla wafers. What a delight this must be.

No Churn Pistachio Ice Cream
The recipe calls for pistachio paste. I am sure that this concentrated paste gives the green coloring and dreamy flavoring.YUM!

A Classic Twist

This is an elegant way to serve ice cream or any dessert. It's lovely for $10.

No Churn Peach Cobbler Ice Cream

Oh this takes me back to my mom's peach ice cream.  And though she just made straight peach ice cream, she would serve it over homemade peach cobbler. Kind of the same, and just delicious.

Quiet Baking Day

No Churn Coffee Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Vegan & Gluten Free
The author says it best: "This cookie dough ice cream is so rich and creamy, flavored with coffee, gluten free cookie dough, and a smooth fudge swirl"  This ice cream is a dream for those with food issues.

Did you get in on Amazon Prime Day this week? I was actually too busy talking about it, that I didn't get a chance to shop. But when I do get time, I enjoy the newish section called "Interesting Finds." It's updated daily. Today I found the prettiest little Rose Gold Tea Maker, and a tongue in chic tee shirt that says "Sorry. Not sorry." Too cute.
