Homemade Banana Pudding Ice Cream – (No Cook)

June 19, 2013 by Tiffany King 10 Comments

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.

Homemade Peanut Butter Ice Cream – (no cooking required)

June 4, 2013 by Tiffany King 7 Comments

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 King 7 Comments

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.

It’s true. You can take 2 ingredients and make a fabulous pie. Well, technically, with the graham cracker crust it’s 3 ingredients, but seriously, this is so easy and delicious.

This is an easy pie that would make a great addition to Easter dinner too.

Meyer Lemon Pie (No Bake and 2 ingredients)

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh Meyer Lemon juice can also use regular lemon juice
1 can sweetened condensed milk I use fat free
1 graham cracker crust or 6 mini crusts

Instructions

Squeeze lemon juice (through a strainer to catch the seeds) until you have 1/2 cup.
Pour into a bowl with 1 can sweetened condensed milk.
Mix to combine.
Place lemon/milk filling into pie crust.
Refrigerate until cooled & thickened.

I made mini pies for portion control purposes! The filling is a sweet and tart, creamy, custard-y type and can be topped with meringue or whipped topping. I prefer mine plain, but my mom always adds meringue (which I don’t like and when I was young, would always take it off and it would drive her bonkers 🙂 What are kids for?!)

With Meyer Lemons in season, it’s a great time to whip one of these pies up. It takes no time at all, and the burst of citrus is exactly the thing for breaking through those winter doldrums! (For lots more citrus recipes, check out the recent Ingredient Spotlight: Citrus)

Caramel Pineapples

January 24, 2012 by Tiffany King 22 Comments

Caramel and pineapple are a surprisingly good combination. The tropical sweetness of the pineapple balances the sugary goodness of the caramel.

This dessert was served to us at a gathering a few months ago. There are only two ingredients and it involves a bit of dangerous cooking.

It takes 3-4 hours of boiling a can of sweetened condensed milk to turn it into caramel. But you must make sure that the can stays completely submerged during the boiling time or you risk the can exploding. Sugary sweet magic happens during all that boiling. When you open the can, it’s full of marvelous caramel!

Chill the caramel and then you can slice it. The slices are wonderful on top of pineapple rings.
