Dark Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream
My post about this ice cream has been put off because I just don’t know what to say about it. After all, it was ice cream. It is long gone from the freezer, so I can’t taste it again for inspiration. My memory of the ice cream was that it was just okay, nothing extraordinary.… Continue reading Dark Chocolate Coffee Ice Cream

Hipster Brownies

Trying out Tiramisu Cake
So, Tiramisu Cake. Really, I could take or leave Tiramisu for the most part.

If you didnāt… Continue reading Trying out Tiramisu Cake
Flourless Strawberry Chocolate Cake
Hubby was the one who suggested the flourless chocolate cake and volunteered us to make it. So, the night before our Seder, 11PM rolls around and there is no flourless chocolate cake. There is only me watching TV and husband drinking scotch and playing online poker. Guess who ended up making this cake all by… Continue reading Flourless Strawberry Chocolate Cake
