Holy smokes – 2015 is almost over! I can’t believe it’s time for my annual “best of the year” post. 2015 has been a crazy year – we moved across the country, I started a new job, many wedding to-do’s were completed, and, of course, we ate lots and lots of food. Here are the posts you loved most in 2015!
So the day I made this, I was all set to bust out the apples, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, the streusel topping. I was so excited for my first Fall baking extravaganza. I mean, pumpkin is basically my favorite thing in the world. Fall is totally my happy baking place.
But then…it was 95 degrees. And our apartment has no A/C. And I just COULD NOT bring myself to turn on the oven. I tried and tried to put myself in the blustery Fall mindset, and I just couldn’t. I’m sorry, guys. I promise streusel-topped butter-laden apple-y pumpkin-y things are coming soon, but just not today. Besides, it’s the official last day of summer!
Can I offer you some bourbon honey fig no-churn ice cream instead?
…Also known as the longest recipe title of all time. Also (and more importantly) known as the coolest ice-cream-without-an-ice-cream-maker trick EVER, and my new favorite thing.
I’ve been dying to try a no-churn ice cream for, I dunno, FOREVER. An ice cream maker is just one of those specialty appliances that doesn’t make the cut in my teeny-tiny kitchen. And I know a lot of you feel the same way. But that doesn’t mean we should be denied the incredibleness that is homemade ice cream in the summertime, right?! This is an issue I feel strongly impassioned about. Homemade ice cream for the people!
