Are you Sincerious?* >> Salted Caramel Ice Cream

I had a brief moment of panic. The sugar and water was quickly moving from golden brown to mahogany, so I took it off the heat. It continued to bubble and I thought, what, I’m just supposed to pour this cream and milk in here and hope it doesn’t splatter hot sugar syrup on contact? Apparently, yes. When the cold hit the hot, the sugar seized into a glob. Great. I put the pan back and on the heat and kept whisking. As Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Is Salted Caramel ice cream hell? Well, no. With this recipe, it just might be heaven.

Chocolate Chip Cookies with Miso Buttercream

chocolate chip cookies miso buttercream| dailywaffleToying with chocolate chip cookie recipes has started something dangerous. It’s not the just having cookies around…it’s the dough. The current wisdom calls for aging the dough in the fridge for 24-36 hours. But unless you hide it in the back of the fridge, it’s impossible not to nibble. And this is only the first go – a chocolate chip cookie with red miso buttercream.

Bourbon Pecan Booze Bread

Before we moved to the Pacific Northwest, Wolf told me repeatedly, “Ehhhh, it never snows in Seattle.” Since we’ve lived here, it has snowed every winter.  And while I have…

Birthday Cakes & Simple Apple Galettes

Arkansas Black Apple Galette| dailywaffle Sometimes you just have to do a little something for yourself. My birthday was on a Monday this year, so I didn't take it as a day off. Instead, I thought about getting myself cupcakes or a dozen donuts, but then decided to make myself an apple galette with the Arkansas Black apples I had rolling around the produce drawer. Is that the practical side of adulthood?

Thanksgiving Leftovers: Cranberry Black Pepper Sweet Rolls

cranberry black pepper sweet rolls| dailywaffle It's the day after Thanksgiving. You just had a turkey sandwich with a few slices of apple and a schmear of cranberry, but there's still a lot left. Why is it that of all the Thanksgiving side dishes, it's the cranberry that hangs around for days? Whether it's brandied cranberries, a basic homemade cranberry sauce or the one from a can, it's always the last to go.  This year, I've got an idea for you. Cranberry Black Pepper Sweet Rolls.

Fig Ice Cream Sandwiches with Speculoos Cookies

"Slightly Gingery. The Ed Sheeran of cookies,” says the sign at Trader Joe’s.  Can you guess? Speculoos, aka biscoff cookies.   Now, I’m late to the biscoff  cookie crazy. I’ve never really flown Delta, which is where a lot of people first encountered a 2-pack of those cinnamony, gingersnappy cookies. Long known in Belgium, those little cookies have been one of the positives airline passengers can point to about flying in the last few years.

Gingersnaps have been a favorite of mine since childhood, thanks to little purple bags of Pogen's cookies.  But I never paid much mind to speculoos. I mean, I’ve had a packet of them in my cupboard for the last several months, just languishing. So when I bumped into this blueberry mascarpone tart with a speculoos cookie crust, a light flicked on in my head. Speculoos cookies would be perfect for ice cream sandwiches.

Cold Drip Coffee Chip Ice Cream

cold drip coffee chip scoop| dailywaffleOver the last year, Wolf has been on a mission to get back in shape and now he's been doing various half marathons and triathalons. As his diet shifted from calorie restricted to training, one of the most surprising transformations is that his palate seems to have changed as well. I used to be the only java junkie in the house, the one who fangirled over Blue Bottle coffee and sought out Stumptown Stubbies in the summer. And now, I’m not alone.
