The Best Chocolate Ice Cream You'll Ever Have Last week, I began a new food series all about how to make killer versions of classic dishes. Well, get psyched, because Cenk from Cafe Fernando reveals how to make the best chocolate ice cream ever (without an ice-cream maker!)... The Best Chocolate Ice Cream You'll Ever Have By Cenk from Cafe Fernando Ice cream is to me what water is to others. It is the source of my life. My body needs at least two scoops of ice cream everyday to function properly. My answer to the childhood question, "If you were stranded on an island, name three things..." had always been: Unlimited supply of chocolate ice cream, a giant freezer and a spoon. I want to you to know how serious I am about chocolate ice cream, because "The Best Chocolate Ice Cream You'll Ever Have" is quite a statement. For me, the most important qualities of "the best chocolate ice cream" are creaminess and a deep, intense chocolate flavor. And here comes the best part: You do not need an ice cream maker for this recipe. P.S.
Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches Admin Note: Since this post, I’ve remade these using a better technique. Be sure to check out my Breakfast Sandwiches Revisited. After I made baked chicken nuggets a few weeks ago and explained my deal with Betsy (if she wants something from McD’s, I try to make it for her), I got a few emails saying that the only meal some people will eat at McDonald’s is breakfast. This struck me as kind of odd because most of the stuff on their breakfast menu is even easier to reproduce at home than the stuff on their other menus. Yum. The Rundown I made 12 breakfast sandwiches for this post because they are really easy to freeze and they reheat nicely. My total bill for these came to $16.00 or about $1.33/sandwich. Here’s some interesting facts though about what a bit of time and that extra $3 gets you: Whole Grains. Directions 1) Lightly oil a muffin tin and crack an egg in each tin. 2) Bake the muffin tin with eggs in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Three basic things. Cooking the Eggs Egg-ceptional
(No Sugar!) Cookie Dough Dip *Super-excited face* On Friday night, my previous post went viral. It is absolutely crazy. Thank you so much to everyone who’s been sharing it! With so many more people finding that post, I spent yesterday afternoon doing something I’d meant to do for a long time: creating a sugar-free version of the cookie dough dip. Since posting the original recipe, I’ve received a lot of requests for a sugar-free option, but until now, the only suggestion I had was to replace the sugar with stevia. Instead, here is a new sugar-free version that does taste good– sweetened only with fruit! (No sugar!) It’s gluten-free, too. Inspired by my Cookie Dough Dip. 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained) (250g after draining)heaping 1/8 tsp salttiny bit over 1/8 tsp baking soda1 tbsp plus 1 tsp pure vanilla extract1/4 cup nut butter of choice (You can get away with using only 3 tbsp. In a bowl, cover the dates with 1/2 cup water. If you wish, you can use: Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips. Question of the Day:
