Burnt Sugar Ice Cream

About Me

Hello, I’m Liz! I love exploring new desserts and techniques in baking. I started baking going into my sophomore year of college. Read more…

What’s this unique looking sundae you ask? This is Knickerbocker Glory. I have been wanting to make this sundae since I got the Sweet cookbook, by Ottolenghi & Goh, 4 years ago. And let me tell you it did not disappoint! There are 5 elements to this sundae. First, we have the red plums at the bottom, which give it a great fresh fruit taste. Then, there is the raspberry puree, bringing sweet and tart flavors into play. Then the raspberry semifreddo, light and similar to sherbet. Then there is the Chantilly cream, essentially a lightly whipped, whipped cream. Finally, candied pecans to top, giving the sundae a nice crunch with each bite. I can’t recommend this dessert enough!

Fall is here and so are fall desserts! For my first fall dessert I made a Danish Pear-Apple Bars. These are essentially combining a danish with pie. Doesn’t that sound great? The Danish pastry characteristics comes from the cream cheese icing taste. On the other hand, the pie taste is from the simple butter pie crust. Together they make this wonderful crossover that is perfect for a snack, dessert or even breakfast! This recipe is simple and delicious! 😋

I wanted to make an ice cream that would match this 80 degree weather in Chicago, but also go with a more fall palette. So I made Thalia Ho’s Burnt Sugar Ice Cream. Oh me oh my, this is everything I hoped it would be and more. If you don’t know, somehow because I always mention it at this time of year, toffee is my favorite flavor for desserts. One step into getting that toffee flavor is caramelizing the granulated sugar. Which is what this recipe does, and gives it a nutty taste like toffee. However it does not butter, so not exactly the toffee flavor, but still amazing! She also added a nice touch of orange zest in this recipe. Which makes it the perfect balance of nutty and lightly citrusy. Overall, a light dessert and ice cream, I recommend!

With it being the unofficial last weekend of summer I thought I’d make ice cream sugar cookies. They remind me of the fun in the sun and sweet treats that were consumed this summer. Wow what a crazy summer. Fall I’m ready for you!

I love s’mores in the summer. There’s something about it that reminds me of late nights in Upper Peninsula Michigan. These s’mores cookies are to die for. This recipe uses the pan-banging technique to give you thin crispy but soft cookies. If you like all those things, this is for you

Blueberry cornmeal Scones! With blueberry season here, why wouldn’t you makes these for the perfect summer breakfast? Tender, fresh and the perfect crumb, everything you want in a scone😍
