I'm back!!! It's not that I haven't been eating and drinking and cooking - but (with the weddings, traveling, birthdays, and other stuff), I've just been too busy to post anything. But now I am back because I had to tell you all about the
delicious ice cream cake I made for MO's birthday. It had a chocolate cookie crumb crust, a layer of cookies n' cream ice cream and a layer of mint chocolate chip, topped with ganache and more cookie crumbs...yum!
I have to give props to
this blog I found with a very easy to follow recipe for ice cream cake. Their ice cream cake is much prettier than mine and I haven't gotten to the homemade ice cream level yet, but there's always next time.
To start off BBQ season, we had some friends and family over Sunday for a gathering and enjoyed many simple and delicious dishes, including simple chicken and veggie skewers, a lovely fruit salad that the East Bay crew brought, and what I think might become my new summer dessert obsession - Ice Cream Sandwiches. I made these ones with cocoa cookies (homemade) and mint chocolate chip ice cream (store-bought). They look pretty darn good, don't they? Maybe I'll try making my own ice cream next time...Recipe to come.
