Each July, my community celebrates National Ice Cream Month with a fundraiser called “The Big Chill,” an entry-by-donation event offering tastings of exquisitely crafted homemade ice creams, live music by local artists and “cold-calling,” during which various community leaders quite literally freeze their buns off while sitting on blocks of ice in quest of a fundraising goal.
The funds raised at The Big Chill are directed to an amazing non-profit organization called The Shalom Project. If you find any of my ice cream recipes interesting, creative, unexpected, intriguing or just plain pretty, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to this life-giving project.
Now, what about these ice creams?
Banana Pudding Ice Cream
What if we took all the comforting ingredients of a classic Southern dessert and turned them into an ice cream? Yum, that’s what!
Cherry & Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
I’m kicking off National Ice Cream month with a summer flavor that was supposed to represent the colors of my country. Maybe, just maybe, it actually does.
Sweet Corn Ice Cream 2.0 (with a boozy blueberry ribbon)
This is my custard-free version of one of my favorite summer ice creams. Take your time with this one; I promise it’s worth the trouble and the wait!
Double Dark Chocolate Ice Cream
It’s dark, rich, decadent. You don’t even have to like chocolate ice cream to love this one.
Apple Pie Ice Cream
Forget about apple pie à la mode, I’ve combined them into one scrumptious scoop, to kick off National Ice Cream month!
Easy Cinnamon Ice Cream
This ice cream is so easy to make, and a perfect flavor pairing to nearly any baked dessert on your holiday table!
Blue Moon Ice Cream
This recipe is my best effort at recreating a childhood favorite. Adjust the flavors to your liking, and decide for yourself whether to add the pineapple.
Peach Cobbler Ice Cream
As the sun sets on National Ice Cream month this year, I’ve transformed a favorite summer dessert into a single glorious scoop of peach cobbler ice cream.
Praline Pecan Ice Cream
I’ve used canned dulce de leche and store-bought candied pecans to replicate one of my favorite ice cream parlor treats. It’s another tasty way to celebrate National Ice Cream Month!
Creamsicle Ice Cream
Yippee, it’s National Ice Cream Month!!! My first fun flavor this year is a delicious orange-vanilla combination, reminiscent of one of my favorite ice cream truck treats!
Honey-Lavender Ice Cream with… well, read and see!
Not for the unadventurous, but a sophisticated combination of flavors in an elegant, indulgent ice cream.
PB&J Ice Cream
I’m embracing my inner child, with this kid-friendly flavor combination, a perfectly sweet finish to National Ice Cream Month!
