Salted Caramel, Chocolate + Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
Hey guys! Finally taking some time to write a quick post – wow, has it really been since May? YIKES.
Anywhoo….
I have been making a good amount of homemade ice cream lately. A couple of months ago we had an entire day dedicated to making Ice Creams and Sorbets in my Intro to Baking + Pastry class. Our chef gave out some pretty amazing recipes for us to try…here’s what my group did – Coffee Ice Cream and a Blackberry Sorbet – both were amazing. We even made homemade waffle cones and had an ice cream social…nice way to end our quarter!

I haven’t used my ice cream maker in many months, but my mom’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I decided to dust off our ice cream maker make 3 types of ice cream to go along with the Almond Cake she requested. All 3 flavors – chocolate, cookies and cream and salted butter caramel – were a hit with the fam. But I must tell you that my favorite has been this recipe by David Lebovitz for Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream – I even made it for the hubby’s office cook out last week…AMAZING STUFF!! I haven’t been adding the extra caramel pieces, it’s just been easier to do without this additional step, but I have made it in the past with this addition and it’s really good!
Who doesn’t love ice cream, even if the weather IS getting cooler?!
