Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I know it’s freezing out.  I know it’s almost winter.  I know I’m crazy for making ice cream.

Buttttttt…. have you tried Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino?

Um, yeah, it’s as delicious as it sounds/looks.  Well, naturally, I had to create a similar product and for that to happen, it had to be a cold product, hence the ice cream.

Don’t worry, just eat it in front of a cozy fireplace and you’ll be fine.

Trust me, it’s worth eating, even if it is below freezing.

P.S. I shipped a pie to the CBS Baking Show yesterday.  I’m a nervous wreck!! I also have a Skype interview on Thursday, so please keep sending good vibes and prayers.  Thank you all!  I’ll be posting the pie recipe ASAP. :)

No Cook Brown Sugar Peach Pineapple Ice Cream

7-18 124

I don’t know where all of you live, but where I live, the average temperature lately has been about 105 degrees.

Yesterday, it was around 90 and I’m sure everyone in town got excited.  And there was an overcast. It was a good day.

Unfortunately it’s back to 108 degrees today.  If it’s hot where you live, you have to make this “ice cream”. I say it’s ice cream, but the consistency is more of a slushy/granita.  The vodka is used so that the ice cream doesn’t fully freeze and keeps the correct texture.

Pineapple and peach are wonderful combination, and this is a super refreshing dessert.

Is the temperature unbearably hot where you live?
