Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
The large quantity of these tiny bits of chocolate chips creates an excellent texture.
These two flavors blend perfectly. For this recipe, I used about 3/4 c of peanut butter (warmed until smooth and pourable) but feel free to add more or less depending on taste preference
Tell me if you remember the commercial where two people bump into each other and one says, “You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” and the other replies, “You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!”? That ad pretty much sums up how perfect this combo is. Ahhh, nostalgia.
Rainbow Ice Cream
Celebrating Pride Month, scoop by scoop.
This rainbow ice cream isn’t just a sweet treat. It’s a swirl of pride, joy, and solidarity.
Because being an ally means showing up loudly, lovingly, and sometimes with sprinkles on top.
Note: Using a frozen marshmallow as the outside of an ice cream sandwich was a new, delicious dessert idea.
Happy Pride Month!

Hot Chocolate Float – did you see it?
This combo of cinnamon ice cream submerged in hot chocolate and topped with whipped cream is sensational.
I didn’t know what to call it, so I tried to find it online, but couldn’t.
Previously, I made a video with ube ice cream and coffee. This resembled an affogato, a popular dessert consisting of “a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso.”
Affogato translates to “drowned” in Italian
Should I have called this an affogato too?
Then I compared this drink to a root beer float made of “just two ingredients: root beer, and ice cream.”
And that’s when I saw it!
After pouring the hot chocolate on top of the ice cream, the ice cream scoop floated to the top!
Try it for yourself. This is a delicious combination.
Salted-Candy Popcorn
I asked what snacks you love while reading — sweet & salty won! So I whipped up candy popcorn with a twist: real salted popcorn for that perfect sweet-salty combo!
Easy to make:
Need 3 batches of air-popped corn (1 cup kernels)
Boil (2 c supar, 1/2 c water, 1 TBSP butter) for 3 min on medium
Add food color (I separated into 3 bowls for more colors)
Pour over popcorn and mix QUICKLY
Sprinkle with salt
