Forget brownies. These blondies have way more fun. Golden and studded with white chocolate chips. And butter. So much glorious butter. We convinced JBB to let us relinquish her signature, easier-than-a-box-cake blondie recipe. The only string attached? That we double down on the richness factor and top it with a hefty scoop of Brown Butter…
Every ice cream maker has a go-to chocolate cake recipe. This is Jeni’s. A rich, dark chocolate cake that melts in your mouth. Really all it needs is a little powdered sugar for dusting. But it’s especially impressive as a layer cake with fluffy white frosting — and served with a scoop of ice cream,…
I call these Bauer House Biscuits because they fall somewhere between a biscuit and a Parker House roll. They are buttery and crispy on the outside and a dream inside. The yeast dough and the butter create pockets of air and rise. Light yet hearty, buttery yet yeasty, these biscuits are perfection. I think you’re…
Happy Pride! It’s time to invite your neighbors, friends, family — anyone who you’d love to celebrate with or get to know better over ice cream. In our humble opinions, there is no better (and easier) way to wow a crowd than with a sundae board (think of it as a cheese board, but with…
If our newsfeeds tell us anything right now, it’s that pie season is officially upon us (though we’d readily argue that anytime is a good time for pie). That means we’re reaching for one thing: the new Sister Pie cookbook from Lisa Ludwinski. We’ve been anticipating the release of Lisa’s book from the moment we…
My Buttercrisp Waffle Cone recipe is the best out there. And believe me, I have tried them all. It’s buttery and nutty with a hint of salt—the perfect flavor pairing for ice cream. Because I know not everyone can make it into a shop this summer, I’m sharing my recipe so you can enjoy a…
The Eton Mess is a classic dessert that traces its origins to Eton College, the Hogwarts-like British boarding school. The dish is traditionally made with strawberries, broken meringues, and cream. We make ours with macerated berries of all varieties, crushed meringues (handmade or store-bought), ice cream, sorbet, and/or buttermilk frozen yogurt, and piles of softly…
I grew up eating fresh strawberry pie. Everyone who knew me knew that it was my favorite. It’s one of those early 20th century American dishes that, if you think hard enough, will transport you to another time (long before anyone could imagine clear “strawberry” gel now often used to make this pie). This recipe…
Last week, Jeni flew to Dallas to serve dessert at a dinner party hosted by Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop. It was a stunning spring evening coupled with an absolutely perfect three-course dinner prepared by one of the loveliest humans we know, chef Seamus Mullen. (Side note: his book, “Real Food Heals” is one of Jeni’s…
Call it a wine slushy. A sno cone for adults. The princess of the poolside party. Whatever nickname you’d like to bestow, there’s no denying that Frosé—frozen rosé wine—is likely everything you’ve ever wanted in a warm weather sipper. Bright and refreshing. Fruity yet not too sweet. And a hot shade of pink that’d turn…
The holiday decorations have been taken down. The houseguests have cleared out. And the dishes have been put away. After a week of celebrating and entertaining, chances are your freezer looks something like ours: A mish-mash of half eaten pints of ice cream. Pints that have been pulled in and out of the freezer all…
We’re in that awkward transition between summer and fall. Those fleeting weeks where it somehow makes sense to wear sandals with a sweater or drink a pumpkin latte on an 80-degree day. And even though it’s time to start plucking apples from the trees at nearby orchards, we’re not quite ready to douse super fragrant,…
The sundae board: our no-fail, go-to, shareable dessert that wows at any kind of gathering. From dinner parties to date night, backyard BBQs to birthday celebrations. It’s like a cheese board for dessert that replaces gouda and cheddar with our favorite ice creams. Our current inspiration—movie nite—is thanks to the recent release of Sun-Popped Corn…
Today, we turn our eyes to the sky (under the protection of solar glasses; safety first people!) to bask in the glory of the first total solar eclipse to cross the U.S. in nearly a century. Now it’s time to celebrate with the thing that really puts the moon in our sky: cocktails! For this…
How do you outwit the hot and sultry dog days of summer? With wonderfully flaky, melt-in-your-mouth granita, an icy dessert made with fruit and water. We love making granitas with whatever fruit we have on hand—enjoying the granita on its own like the best-ever snow cone, or adding ice cream or buttermilk frozen yogurt to…
