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?
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!
Dark Chocolate Sorbet
By mixing and matching ideas, I have finally created a luscious, dark chocolate sorbet that satisfies my craving for ice cream without saturated fats!
Reduced-Guilt Vanilla Ice Cream
A few simple ingredient swaps resulted in this creamy, indulgent ice cream that just happens to be half the fat of a regular condensed milk ice cream recipe.
Irish Coffee Ice Cream
The luck o’ the Irish was with me when I got the bold idea to combine Irish coffee with a smooth and creamy homemade ice cream.
Bananas Foster Ice Cream
I rounded up all the sensual, luscious components of Bananas Foster, a New Orleans classic, and churned it into an ice cream. Happy Mardi Gras!
Homemade “Cherry Garcia” Ice Cream
With a homemade version of cherry and chocolate ice cream, a sweet-tart cherry syrup and a crispy, chocolatey waffle, this over-the-top dessert is delicious, times three!
Peppermint Bark Ice Cream
This deliciously festive holiday ice cream is infused (literally) with the flavors of Christmas candy canes and bits of dark chocolate peppermint bark.
S’mores Ice Cream
This is how you celebrate National S’mores Day in the middle of August, when it’s too hot to light a campfire—easy, no-egg ice cream with marshmallow and chocolate fudge swirls!
Fuzzy Navel Sorbet
In honor of my younger self, I have found a way to turn a favorite old-school “cocktail” into a fun, summery dessert!
Salted Maple-Bacon Ice Cream
In celebration of National Ice Cream Day today, I’m whipping together two of my all-time favorite flavors into one deliciously sinful scoop!
Homemade Pistachio Ice Cream
I put a couple of easy twists on my standard, custard-based ice cream formula to arrive at this unique yet classic pistachio flavor. Let’s celebrate National Ice Cream Month!
Pumking Ice Cream
Along with pumpkin puree and pumpkin butter, I’ve accented this ice cream with my beloved Pumking ale. It adds intense depth and a slight hoppy flavor that is exactly the right balance to the richness of this custard-based dessert.
