Bombe Squad
Julie | July 27, 2010
The July 2010 Daring Bakers challenge was a Swiss roll-lined ice cream bombe. I chose to go with an almond and summer fruit theme, making almond cake, boysenberry jam and caramel, and apricot and honey-almond ice creams.
Almond Addiction

Addictively sweet and spicy gingered almonds add crunch to silky-smooth honey-almond ice cream, and make a fantastic topping for salads to boot.
Roasted Apricot Frozen Yogurt

Bright, creamy apricot frozen yogurt is just the thing for a hot summer evening.
Stay-Puft

The July 2009 Daring Bakers challenge featured Milan cookies and mallomars with fresh marshmallow. I made the latter, and folded the extra marshmallow into homemade rocky road ice cream.
Happy Valentino
Julie | February 28, 2009
The February 2009 Daring Baker’s challenge celebrated Valentine’s Day with a decadent flourless Chocolate Valentino cake. Mine was a splurge of bittersweet Valrhona chocolate and peanut butter frozen yogurt.
Wafer-Thin

The January 2009 Daring Bakers challenge featured tuile cookies molded into fun shapes, decorated with chocolate dots and squiggles, and served with chocolate-coconut sorbet.
Paul’s Party, Part 3: Peach-Boysenberry Crostata-Galette
Julie | October 9, 2008
This peach-boysenberry crostata didn’t make it to the going-away party, but the guest of honor enjoyed his sample. Any combination of fruit could be highlighted in this rustic pie; the key is the flaky, versatile crust. The leftover boysenberries were swirled through vanilla ice cream for a tasty, but texture challenged treat.
Brownies-n-Cream
Julie | September 9, 2008
A baking mistake made by frazzled parents turns into cookies ‘n’ cream heaven. (Plus a brownie recipe so simple I’m still not sure how we managed to screw it up!)
Beating the Heat
Julie | August 18, 2008
A perfect summery treat, this creamsicle ice cream pairs orange (actually, clementine) zest and juice with vanilla for a classic flavor.
