Salted Caramel Ice Cream

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

This may or may not surprise you, but despite all the wonderful, delicious, and tantalizing baked goods we post on this blog, I don't often remake things. There are many things that I think are delicious and I enjoy every last bite of. But few things that are so out-of-this-world that I think I have to make it over and over again. A select few recipes make it into my common repertoire to bust out for certain occasions.

A shamelessly obvious list of links to other posts about things we've remade:

Christmas Cookies (duh, every year.)

These Oatmeal Raspberry Dark Chocolate Scones- AKA, best scones ever

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookie Cool Whip Sandwiches

Have you ever baked the chocolate chip cookies off the bag of chocolate chips? The go-to, ever faithful and delicious classic? Or maybe you have your own classic chocolate chip cookie recipe that you always use? Maybe something sentimental from your childhood of coming home to your mother’s freshly baked cookies?

Well, forget about all of those recipes because they pale in comparison to these. I don’t even need to try them. I just know. That is how good these are. The New York Times even says so. And maybe you don’t agree with their politics or whatever (why pay attention to that when they talk about cookies?), but I know you will agree with their taste in cookies. I know I do. And I am totally unbiased.  I can’t even vote. But if I could vote for cookies I would vote for these. (Too much? Too cheesy? But it's true.)

Strawberry Cookie Dough Ice Cream

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

I go to a small school. But what we lack in size, we make up for in quality. Of academics, of campus culture, campus aesthetics, extracurricular programs, etc...sure, of course. But also: food. Our cafeteria boasts being ranked as one of the best college cafeterias in the country. And I can tell you from experience - both in our cafeteria and in the cafeterias of other schools I've visited - that it deserves it. 

My school is great for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest ones for me is the cookie dough ice cream served in our campus coffee shop cum cafe. (I'm only exaggerating a little.) Seriously, I have never tasted better. Not even Ben and Jerry's. I easily polish off one of their over-the-top (literally, towering over the top of the cup), pint-size servings on a regular basis during the school year, usually either leering over my laptop in the library or lounging in front of a romcom with my friends for a well-deserved mental break/studying reward. 

Suffice to say, I have a weakness for cookie dough ice cream. And what was once merely a physical weakness has now been compounded by becoming sentimental as well. (I can just see my friends and I at our 10-year reunion, reminiscing not over professors or freshman corridors, but that dang cookie dough ice cream.) So when I first saw a recipe for strawberry cookie dough ice cream, I knew I had to try it. It's taken me over a year to actually get around to it, but hey, better late than never, right?

PB&J Ice Cream Sandwiches

So we've been having amazing weather recently- it's been sunny-and-blue-skies and like 40-50 degree weather. It's been fantastic, but all our snow melted and it's making me feel like winter's over :(. So maybe it was this bout of spring weather (and my Mom's clever thinking) that made me think of strawberry ice cream (something I think of as a sort of spring-y-summer-y flavor.)

But also, PB&J is a delicious combination, so you could probably convince me to eat strawberry ice cream in between two peanut butter cookies any time of year. I wouldn't complain.
