Smoked Peach Crisp

Peaches, glorious peaches! Why can’t peach season last all year? I guess I wouldn’t crave it and love it as much as I do if they were available all the time. This smoked peach crisp on the Traeger is our new favorite!

As you all know, peach crisp is a huge deal at my house. There’s absolutely not one single summer that goes by that I don’t make a peach crisp to end our glorious summer. I don’t know if it’s the golden nectar of sweet peach juice with that cinnamon crisp and a scoop of cold and creamy ice cream or if it’s the nostalgia I feel for a peach dessert but either way I always feel like it’s officially summer when I eat it. And best of all, my kids do too. 

Isn’t there something magical about a whole family loving one specific recipe? It’s not just that it’s a tradition, it’s not even that it’s finally something everyone likes, there’s truly something sweet and memorable about eating that one recipe together that everyone swoons over. 

So friends, may your glowing summer nights be a little longer and a little happier this year with smoked peach crisp!

Creamy blueberry ice cream is a summer treat that you simply need to taste to believe. It’s truly unforgettable.

I love berries with cream together in almost any form, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blueberry ice cream in the store. (I have no doubt that someone makes one though!)

Homemade Blueberry Ice Cream

I had originally planned to make a simple batch of vanilla ice cream to serve with chocolate and caramel sauces for dessert. However, when I opened the refrigerator to grab the milk and cream, I spied the blueberries on the shelf.

One thought led to another, and the next thing I knew I had everything in the blender together.

Blueberries and Cream Ice Cream

My boys went nuts over this ice cream. It was delicious soft-serve right out of the ice cream maker. I had a hard time waiting while it firmed up more in the freezer.

I felt obligated to “test” the recipe once more before sharing it with you, and let me

Dutch Crumb Topping Mixed Berry Pie

Dutch crumb topping mixed berry pie is a mashup of our outrageous razzleberry pie and our dutch apple pie. It’s like a berry crisp but in pie form!

Because streusel topping is quite honestly one of the greatest things ever created, I felt there was no choice but to smash my two favorite pies into one. So, I used our triple berry pie filling with our Dutch apple pie topping and created my new favorite pie in all the land. My goodness, it is heaven!!!

When I was growing up I thought that pie was good, but I was 100% on board with cookies. I mean you could not make me happier than to show up with a plate full of cookies at my house, but man, it really is true that getting older changes what you crave. I cannot live without pie now!

Ingredients for Dutch Mixed Berry Pie

The ingredients list for this recipe is short and sweet. You’ll need lots of berries and the rest you will probably already have in house already! Here is your list:

• Pie Crust – flour, butter, salt, sugar and water
• Raspberries
• Blackberries
• Blueberries
• Sugar – these berries can be so tart so start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed 1 tablespoon at a time
• Cornaby’s Ultra Gel – my favorite way to thicken a pie, I’m listing a few substitutions down below if you don’t have ultra gel

For the Topping

• Flour – just plain ol’ all purpose flour
• Cinnamon – adds warm flavor
• Old Fashioned Oats – adds texture and structure to the streusel
• Brown Sugar – the stickiness of brown sugar helps the streusel to clump together better and adds so much richness
• Salt – enhances and balances the sweetness
• Unsalted Butter – makes the streusel stick together and adds richness

ON THE BLOG this week: Fresh Mint Ice Cream is like no other mint ice cream you’ve tried in the past. This Mint Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream is a softer, fresher mint flavor that just might blow your mind.

You need this buttery sweet edible cookie dough in your life. It’s filled with miniature chocolate chips in a bite-size chunk of snackable Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites.

And after you’ve made the edible cookie dough, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream will be next on your list. Sweet chunks of edible cookie dough fill each scoop of this rich and creamy ice cream.

Rum Raisin Ice Cream is full of rum-soaked raisins mixed in custardy vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum. This recipe is a little bit old school and a whole lot of creamy delicious.

The most popular question I’ve ever received on this website is whether you can make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. Find out how you can Make Ice Cream Without A Machine.

The Ultimate Ice Cream Maker Review has everything you need to know to choose the perfect ice cream machine!

My FAVORITE THINGS this week are my wireless earbuds. I don’t know when I’ve ever been so pleased with a $30 purchase. My kids and I all have these earbuds and in over six months of near-constant use, we have yet to have any issues with them. They continue to work flawlessly.

I love these earbuds so much, that I’m giving a few pairs away today just for newsletter readers. Leave a comment below and let me know what you’ll be listening to: Podcasts? Music? Audiobooks? Something else entirely? I’ll choose three winners on Monday evening and send them t

Rum Raisin Ice Cream is full of rum-soaked raisins mixed in custardy vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum. This recipe is a little bit old school and a whole lot of creamy delicious.

Rum Raisin Ice Cream

This recipe is a good bit more involved than my usual ice cream recipes, but sometimes, the end result is just plain worth the effort. This is absolutely one of those times.

I found this recipe in Great Scoops: Recipes from a Neighborhood Ice Cream Shop. I had such fun flipping through this gorgeous ice cream cookbook. While my love of ice cream is a well-documented thing, it’s also fun to check out someone else’s flavor combinations.

Rum Raisin ice cream has been on my must-try list for years and I simply never got around to it. The description in the book had me sold on it immediately.

Similar to the Blueberry Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream from Rusconi’s, my forever beloved Cafe con Leche Ice Cream, and the French Custard Style Cinnamon Ice Cream as well, you need to temper and use egg yolks in this recipe.

Don’t be intimidated, I promise it’s simple enough for all of us to do. While there are 60+ egg-free Philadelphia-style ice cream recipes on this website, sometimes, you just need to allow yourself a few extra minutes in the kitchen for an extra special result.

There isn’t a shortcut to this recipe. Yes, you can take the rum-soaked raisins and just stir them into a batch of the Best and Easiest Homemade Ice Cream. Will it be tasty? Yes. Will it be anything at all like this classic recipe for Rum Raisin Ice Cream? No.

Take the time to make this creamy, ultra rich, custard-based ice cream exactly the way Marlene Haley of The Merry Dairy intended it, my friends. You’re going to love it.
