Funfetti Ice Cream Sandwiches

When you run a food blog with your family, things can quickly get a little...snippy. Irritation? Shouting? Knock-down drag-out fights? All of the above are regular occurrences in our kitchen--part of the “creative process” you might

Waffle Cone

These golden-brown ice cream cones are sturdy enough to support your favorite scoops, yet delicate and crisp thanks to a blend of brown sugar and honey.

Lemon Basil Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches

If you've made a mint chocolate chip ice cream before, this recipe follows the same basic procedure. But while mint leaves are usually steeped in the cream for upwards of an hour or two before getting strained out, basil benefits more from a short initial steeping before getting blended into the base. I forgo chocolate chips or drizzling melted chocolate for simply shaving chocolate directly into the ice cream as it's finishing the churn.

Homemade Chipwiches

With tender chocolate chip cookies and a fluffy no-churn ice cream, these frozen treats taste just like your favorite chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, only better.

Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars

With swirls of fluffy no-churn ice cream in strawberry and vanilla, this creamy/crunchy ice cream bar is strawberry shortcake in frozen form.

E.L. Fudge-Style Chocolate and Vanilla Sandwich Cookies

With crisp and crunchy vanilla wafers sandwiching a dark-chocolate cream filling, these shortbread cookies taste as magical as if they'd been prepared by an elf. Of course, they can be made with whatever cookie cutters you have on hand, but when it comes to whipping up a batch of copycat E.L. Fudge, owl fudge cookies sound just about right.

Banana Cookies and Bourbon Ice Cream Sandwiches

Notes: Bourbon ice cream is a serving suggestion; you can skip this step and use your favorite flavor of ice cream. Use a stainless steel skillet to brown the butter--a dark-bottomed skillet will make it difficult to see the butter...

Famous Wafer Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

You won't believe how easy it is to create your own customized ice cream cake. Crushed chocolate wafers create a crunchy buttery shell that holds layers of luscious ice cream and chocolate cookies that soften just so.

Homemade Klondike Bars

The fluffiest made-from-scratch "ice cream" plus a crunchy milk chocolate shell make homemade Klondike Bars as satisfying as the originals.

Homemade Speculoos Ice Cream

Biscoff cookies, whether real or copycat, give this silky ice cream an intriguing caramel flavor, while dairy dilutes the spices into something mellow and mild. With a shot of espresso, it makes an amazing twist on affogato.
