Homemade Banana Pudding Ice Cream – (No Cook)

June 19, 2013 by Tiffany

Last summer, I went all gaga for Chick-Fil-A’s banana pudding milkshakes. Oh my goodness! They were so good. As far as I know, they haven’t started selling them this summer. I don’t know if they will or not.

No worries though, I made a “Skinnier” version of the milkshake last year that’s easy to make at home. And now, we’ve got this ice cream recipe that’s super easy to make too.

I use the simple base recipe of half and half and sweetened condensed milk. I love not having to cook the ice cream or worry about raw eggs. This recipe comes together in about 2.5 minutes. Of course, you do have to wait for it to churn in the ice cream freezer, but the wait is so worth it.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Death by Chocolate Brownie

June 5, 2013 by KimM

Calling all chocolate lovers! This recipe is for YOU! I am a huge chocolate fan, and so is my mom, so this past Mother’s Day I wanted to have something super chocolate-y just for us.

I succeeded. This was a chocolate lover’s dream. Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Brownie mix (includes chocolate chips in the mix) – topped with semi-sweet chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, more chocolate chips…and a drizzle of caramel. BOOM! Death by Chocolate Brownie.

My mom was pretty happy. I even apologized to my siblings, for I knew it would make me the favorite child

Death by Chocolate Brownie

Ingredients

1 box brownie mix (8x8 or 9x9 size) *plus ingredients called for on box
1 cup chocolate chips, divided
2 cups Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Caramel ice cream topping (optional)

Instructions

Prepare brownies according to package directions.
Remove brownies from oven and let cool for 5-10 mins.
While still warm, top with ½ cup chocolate chips.
Sprinkle crushed Oreos on top and lightly press down.
Sprinkle remaining ½ cup chocolate chips over Oreos.
Drizzle with caramel topping (or melted white chocolate), if desired.

The heat from the brownies slightly melts the chocolate, which acts as the “glue” to hold the cookies in place. Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting. Enjoy! We sure did!

*Quick tip – I used the the mini Oreo cookies that come in a bag, so I just opened the bag to let out the air, resealed, and used a rolling pin to break up the cookies.

The great thing about this recipe is that the options are endless! I have so many varieties floating through my head now…like replacing the Oreos with Nutter Butter cookies; or replacing the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips; and I’m sure you all can think of lots more – be sure to let me know!

Homemade Peanut Butter Ice Cream – (no cooking required)

June 4, 2013 by Tiffany

I have made a lot of homemade ice cream. But this one just may be my favorite flavor of all. It combines my two favorite foods – ice cream and peanut butter – so it’s no wonder that I love it. My family loved it too.

You’re going to want to try this. It has just 5 ingredients and is so simple to make.

I really wanted to make peanut butter ice cream that had ribbons of peanut butter in it, like my favorite store bought flavor. I used the idea for Peanut Butter Magic Shell from Picky Palate and altered it for ice cream.

I didn’t end up with thick ribbons of peanut butter. It mixed in to the ice cream a bit more than that, but there were still thin ribbons and bits and pieces of peanut butter. This makes the taste more intense than just having the peanut butter smoothly incorporated with the other ingredients. I really like the way this method keeps the peanut butter mostly separate from the vanilla ice cream.

Easy Homemade Mock Fried Ice Cream

May 22, 2013 by Tiffany

When International Delight asked me to create a recipe using their creamer, I first thought of adding it to scones or muffins.

But I couldn’t get ice cream out of my mind. I love ice cream and I’ve used International Delight to make homemade ice cream several times.

This time, I wanted to make a flavor based on fried ice cream. I used Cinnabon flavored creamer, along with some crunchy, cinnamon cereal. Just 4 ingredients total keep the ice cream easy.

And it tastes just like fried ice cream! This did not last long at our house.

Key Lime Mousse

May 21, 2013 by AndreaG

I made this Key Lime Mousse for my book club and it was a huge hit. It has the perfect amount of tart from the key lime juice and the perfect amount of creaminess from the whipped cream.

This is a make ahead recipe since it needs to be refrigerated for 8 hours before serving. I think that makes it the perfect party dessert. Simply whip it up in the morning then forget about it until it is time to serve. That leaves plenty of time for whatever else you need to get done during the day.

Please don’t substitute regular lime juice in this recipe. You can find key lime juice on the same shelf as the regular lime juice in the grocery store. Key lime juice is actually more sour than regular lime juice. Since you’ll be adding a whole can of sweetened condensed milk to the recipe, you need the extra sour flavor to get that “pucker” lime lovers love. [Read more...]

Lemonade Cake – One of My Favorite Cakes Ever

May 15, 2013 by Tiffany

This cake doesn’t look like anything special. But if you like lemon, you will love it.

It’s one of my very favorite desserts. My mom has made it for years and I can’t believe I haven’t shared the recipe with you yet.

It starts with a lemon cake mix. Add a package of lemon pudding mix. And after it’s baked, drench it with lemonade.

The result is moist, sticky, lemon-packed scrumptiousness!

Strawberry Soup Recipe from Disney’s Grand Floridian

April 26, 2013 by Tiffany

I have wanted to try this soup forever, but haven’t had the chance. I’ll be staying at the Grand Floridian Resort in about a month for the Food Blogger Forum Conference. But I’m not sure I’ll have a chance to eat at 1900 Park Fare, where they serve this soup.

To be fair, I did not use the exact recipe from the Grand Floridian. Here’s the original:

The strawberries I used were sweetened, so I know our soup was much sweeter than the original. And I decided to lighten it up a bit by subbing out the heavy cream. I also used light sour cream in place of the regular and the yogurt. I would have used plain yogurt instead, but I was out. Use what you’ve got!

Before we get to the recipe, I want to highlight one of the site sponsors, The Magic for Less.

You can save up to 30% off select Walt Disney World Resort hotels most nights 6/13–8/14/13. See the details by clicking here. To be notified when new Disney Parks discounts are released, sign up for TheMouseForLess Discounts Newsletter. And be sure to tell them that you came from Eat at Home!

No Bake Cookies – ‘Healthified’

April 25, 2013 by KimM

Recently, I had an intense craving for the classic no bake cookies. Chocolate, peanut butter, oats….yum! However, I wanted to see if I could give the recipe a little makeover, to make it a tiny bit healthier. I was able to reduce the sugar, sub out the butter for healthier fats and still have the delicious flavor I remember. I love when my ‘experiments’ work out! Of course, don’t get me wrong, this is still a treat and not a health food, but with all those oats and protein from the peanut butter…I just might have justified eating them for breakfast. Okay, I totally ate them for breakfast!

No Bake Cookies – ‘Healthified’

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar*
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup coconut oil
4 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter*
3 cups old fashioned oats*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
*Notes – I used ½ cup sugar and ½ cup Stevia in the Raw – just depends on your preference. Any nut butter, or peanut butter replacement, such as WowButter or SunButter could be used in the place of peanut butter. A combination of quick cooking and old fashioned oats, or all quick cooking can be used if you prefer.

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, coconut oil, and cocoa.
Bring to a boil, and cook for about a minute.
Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla.
Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.
Place in fridge to cool and set.
{store in refrigerator since coconut oil melts above 76 degrees F}
