Epicurean

As I write this, I have already eaten two pains au chocolat (chocolate croissants). Since I am new to having a fresh-out-of-the-oven croissant, it only seemed reasonable to try it twice.

This weekend I made Molten Chocolate Doughnut Holes. Was it a cure for -15℉ morning? Maybe.

I baked along with series 11 of the Great British Bake Off.

This week I made Yossy Arefi’s Rose apple tart.

I turned one of my favorite cookies into ice cream. While this dairy-free treat is not as creamy as traditional ice cream, I really loved how well the flavors came together with the granola topping.

This week we visited Gracie’s in Leeds, NY where I had a delicious iced matcha latte sweetened with vanilla and coconut milk. Inspired, I made matcha latte ice cream.

I first learned about Baked Alaska from the Sims 2. Your sim could study culinary arts and this was one of the higher level dishes. I finally decided to give it a try.

Heavily inspired by Masterclass, I attempted a Kransekake for this year’s holiday treat. I owe my success to an inexpensive sausage stuffer that helped me create uniform rings and made it a breeze to bake and assemble. I decorated it with candied cranberries and rosemary.

As a farewell to summer, I made one more ice cream: the dark & stormy.

This has become one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes. It’s especially perfect for fall. It also holds up great for leftovers or meal prep.

For the past month, I’ve tried a new ice cream recipe with ingredients from the farmers market.

Homemade Coffee Ice Cream

I made these cupcakes for a certain amazing person’s birthday!
