Homemade Nutella Ice Cream

Well, I’m sure this comes as no surprise but now that I know how easy it is to make homemade ice cream, I’m trying out more and more flavors. This recipe for Homemade Nutella Ice Cream was one of my husband’s first requests.

(He’s a HUGE Nutella fan, which is why I have quite a few Nutella-filled recipes on my blog.)

This recipe is actually even easier than the pistachio one, so I was happy to make this for him. It does not have any egg yolks in the recipe, and you don’t even have to heat the cream mixture! With just five ingredients, it comes together in no time as well!

You will still need some equipment to help make this recipe (paid links):

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon coffee extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Frozen Key Lime Pie

Note: I was sent some baking tools from OXO in order to write this post. Opinions are mine alone.

Every December, I love to share a recipe to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, which is why I’m bringing you this delicious Frozen Key Lime Pie!

Every year, OXO supports Cookies for Kids’ Cancer and the fight against pediatric cancer.  To date there have been 14,000 grassroots fundraising events in all 50 states and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has granted more than $18 million to the leading pediatric cancer research centers across the country. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer (CFKC) is a nonprofit founded by two OXO employees after their son, Liam, was diagnosed with pediatric cancer. Through grassroots bake sales across the country, CFKC raises funds to develop new, improved and less toxic treatments for childhood cancer. Liam Witt’s legacy lives on as the organization works toward a cure for pediatric cancer, helping children and families everywhere.

Here are some of my old cookie swap and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer posts, in case you’re in a baking mood (this is my tenth year participating!):

Every year, OXO supports CFKC by encouraging people to bake and share. To help inspire me to get backing, OXO sent me (paid links):

No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake

It’s that time of year where there are plenty of barbecues and outdoor gatherings again. Whenever our friends host, I never want to come empty handed so I like to have a bunch of dessert recipes on hand, especially no bake dessert recipes!

This No Bake Chocolate Eclair Cake is perfect for summer meet ups – you don’t have to turn on your oven and overheat your own home, and it can be made ahead and served chilled or at room temperature.

The cake is super simple to make. It is layers of graham crackers, whipped cream pudding, and chocolate frosting, mimicking the flavors of a chocolate eclair. If you don’t want to make your own frosting, you can also buy store bought and just use that.

Peach Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce

My boyfriend really likes peaches. But, strangely enough, he’s allergic to the skin of peaches so he really only eats them in desserts. I owe him a peach cobbler at some point, but when I saw this recipe from The Pioneer Woman I thought he’d love it. (Plus, it’s a bit easier than a cobbler… baby steps.)

I didn’t have real maple syrup, so I had to use the stuff you use on pancakes. Because of that, the recipe is slightly altered from the original to account for the sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 6 whole fresh peaches
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) – cold
  • the juice and zest of one lemon
  • 6 tablespoons pancake syrup, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
