Bombe Squad
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…
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
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
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…
Brownies-n-Cream
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
A perfect summery treat, this creamsicle ice cream pairs orange (actually, clementine) zest and juice with vanilla for a classic flavor.
Gooey Chocolate Cakes
Dorie Greenspan's gooey chocolate cakes are a new mama's best friend---a decadent, but super-easy dessert that can be prepped in advance.
Speed Records and Brownie Sundaes
Velvety white chocolate ice cream tops gooey bittersweet brownies that can go from concept to plate in about 30 minutes with no boxed mix in sight (take that, Rachel Ray!).
Meant to Happen
Homemade gianduja (chocolate-hazelnut) gelato is heaven in a bowl (or cone, or any other chosen delivery system).
Now How Often Does That Happen?
A surplus of egg yolks gave me the perfect excuse to whip up a quart or two of tin roof ice cream, chock full of fudge ripple and chocolate-covered peanuts.
How to Use Up Sweet Potato Puree, Part 3
Julie vs. The Orange Blob, part 3. Sweet potato ice cream with wet maple pecans.
Icy Olive Oil and Upside Down Apricots
An apricot-almond upside down cake with olive oil ice cream, both of which I found attractive but remarkably unpalatable. Good thing my husband enjoyed them!
Chocolate Coma
Creamy chocolate ice cream shot through with my own concoction: brownie batter developed to stay gooey while frozen. This may actually top chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream on my list!
Nectarine Frozen Yogurt
A refreshing summer treat, just pureed nectarines, sugar, and plain yogurt, this is a great use for over-ripe fruit.
A Berry I Can Get Behind
Sweet local boysenberries are perfectly at home in these individual cobblers with a hint of coconut.
Now Bring Us Some Figgy…
Frozen yogurt flavored with fresh figs and honey is a perfect match-up for lacy oatmeal wafers, purportedly a favorite dessert of Norman Rockwell's.
