Frozen Chocolate Custard with Peanut Butter Ripple

Guys, this frozen custard was so delicious!! Super creamy with a rich chocolate taste, marbled with just the right amount of peanut butter.  This is not a No-Churn recipe, so you'll need an ice cream mixer but it's totally worth it.  I was sneaking bites of it right and left while it was churning- I couldn't help myself! It's every bit as good as the stuff you get at Culver's!  I have a feeling we're going to be making this a TON this Summer!

Frozen Chocolate Custard with Peanut Butter Ripple
yield: 1 quart

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 TBSP Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate chips
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
Dash of salt

Directions:
Add egg yolks, sugar, salt, and Cocoa Powder to a medium saucepan and whisk until fluffy and well combined. Whisk in the milk.  Cook, whisking frequently over Medium-Low heat until it reaches 165º F, but do not allow it to come to a boil.  If you don't have a food thermometer you can check doneness by dipping a spoon in the mixture.  The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and leave a clear line if you run your finger down it.  As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in Vanilla and Chocolate Chips.  Whisk until chocolate is completely melted, then pour through a fine mesh strainer into an air tight container.   Store in the refrigerator until it chills to 65º F (about 3-4 hours, or overnight).  The longer the custard base chills, the creamier your ice cream will be!

Once the custard base is ready, stir in the heavy cream and pour it into your ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker’s instructions.
Meanwhile, place peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave on high for 30 seconds.

Scoop half of the frozen custard into a container or bread pan and smooth out.  Drizzle with half of peanut butter. Spread the rest of the custard onto the top and drizzle with remaining peanut butter.  Use a butter knife to swirl the peanut butter into the custard.  

Cover and freeze overnight or a minimum of 4 hours.  Scoop and enjoy!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
