Here’s the second recipe in The Frozen Custard vs. Ice Cream Trial. Click here for Part 1: Strawberry Frozen Custard. They’re both incredibly delicious! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of this recipe, which I’ve adapted (with very little change) from Serious Eats, at the bottom of this page. Ingredients: 30 ounces fresh, local, in-season strawberries, divided (a little…

The Frozen Custard vs. Ice Cream Trial, Part 1: Strawberry Frozen Custard
I absolutely love strawberry season in Upstate New York. Most of the time, I just eat them plain. They’re so incredibly delicious! A perfect balance of sweet and tart. If I’m going across the river (a half-hour drive each way) to get them, I always buy extra because I know they won’t all make it home. …
Sprinkle Cookies
I saw these cookies last week on the Smitten Kitchen blog, and simply HAD to make them. It was all I could do to wait until I found some Christmasy sprinkles. Then it was all I could do to make myself give them away (you know who you are, and you are loved!) So of…
Peanut Butter Cookies
These are my absolute favorite cookies! While I’m making and eating them, anyway. I think my real favorite cookies are whichever ones are in front of me. There’s a little more art to PB cookies than some others, because peanut butters can vary. Brand to brand, and even within the same brand in different batches, sometimes…

Because we could all use a little comfort, today and every day! There are few foods as wonderful as homemade apple pie. I spent many years & many pies…
Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce
I have a treat for you today: My mom’s Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce (shown here on Vanilla Frozen Custard). This was one of her favorite recipes. She used to make it well in advance of dinner, and just leave it sitting on the stove with the spoon still in it from stirring in the…
Fresh Pumpkin Pie
I’m just a hobbyist cook. But I do know there’s one thing I do better than some professional chefs, and that’s pumpkin pie. How do I know this? Because a few years ago, a local reporter interviewed chefs for an article on pumpkin pie. All the chefs used canned pumpkin. All of them. Now I ask you, have…
Fresh Whipped Cream
The perfect topping for the perfect pie doesn’t come out of a can. And really, it takes less than 5 minutes to whip some cream yourself. Unless you only have a hand mixer, in which case you’re either about to get some exercise, or you’ve already decided to skip this post & head to the…
