Scotch Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

This is everything vanilla ice cream should be: impossibly rich and smooth with deep notes of honey, caramel, and flowers. A good Highland Scotch (I'm partial to Glenlivet 12) brings out the best flavors of vanilla while also adding depth. There's a good amount of salt to keep you coming back for another bite. Add salt slowly and adjust it to your tastes.

Cranberry Trifle

With layers of fluffy angel food cake, bittersweet amaro, tart cranberry jam, and creamy whipped mascarpone, this holiday trifle is a celebration of contrasting flavors and textures.

Scottish Oatmeal Bread

Some recipes for oatmeal bread call for simply tossing some uncooked rolled oats in with the flour; this one uses prepared oatmeal.

Sweater Weather Punch (Scotch and Cranberry Cocktail)

This punch smacks you with tartness, with the drying tannins of cranberry. This punch whirls with spices: It's gingery and cinnamon-y, with hidden herbs and a cleansing bitter edge. This is a real cocktail, dressed up in festive garb.

Creamy Irish-Style Oatmeal With Brown Sugar

This recipe works whether you want to pre-soak the oats for quicker-cooking overnight oats or just want to cook them up from scratch. It's still a simple bowl of oatmeal, but it tastes like a lot more.

Toasted Cream

Just like browning butter, browning cream, whether you're using a sous vide circulator or a pressure cooker, transforms the dairy's fresh, grassy flavors into nutty butterscotch and toffee.

Irish Coffee Caramel Ice Cream with Shaved Dark Chocolate and Candied Pecans

It has buttery, smoky caramel, a dash of coffee grinds, and a generous helping of whisky for good measure. It's a bracing combination, but oh does it work. First you taste the coffee, roasted and rich, with the pleasant bitterness of an actual cup of joe. Then comes the caramel to sweeten things up just a tad, melting to sweet buttery goodness. Then the whisky: the more ice cream you eat, the more you taste it.

Butterscotch Eggnog

The smokiness of Scotch pairs nicely with light brown sugar in this eggnog variation.

Strawberry Crumble

A fabulous strawberry dessert recipe that's easy to prepare! This Strawberry Crumble with the signature crumbly topping covering strawberries in syrup. The smell is outrageously good!

Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

This brown sugar ice cream is infused with a cinnamon stick, toasted oats, and a vanilla bean, then studded with crispy oat clusters, crunchy pecans, and chewy dried fruit. Tart cherries work especially well, but dried fruits such as cranberries and black mission figs work well too, so feel free to use whatever you like best. It's everything you love about oatmeal cookies in a scoop of homemade ice cream.
