Peanut Butter Frosting is so fluffy, easy, and delicious that you will find yourself topping everything with it. Cupcakes, cookies, crackers the possibilities are truly endless.

Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting

You may have noticed, that I am a big fan of condiments and dressings. As far as I’m concerned, frosting is the condiment of the baking world.

The perfect frosting is meant to balance the flavors and sweetness in addition to bringing a new texture to the dessert it is topping.

This Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting goes perfectly with anything chocolate. It is easily spreadable but also pipeable to create pillowing piles of frosting for the perfect accent to a cake.

This recipe will make enough frosting for a two-layer cake. For a pan of brownies or a 9×13 cake, you will want to halve the recipe.

Or, if you’re like my family, you’ll happily make the full recipe and then top graham crackers, cookies, and everything else with the leftover frosting.

Homemade Frosting

Homemade Frosting is so easy to make, it’s almost easier than buying it at the store. Creamy, not-too-sweet, absolutely Perfect Fluffy Chocolate Frosting is truly the best chocolate frosting. (Check out the hundreds of 5-star reviews on that one for proof positive!)

Sweet, but not too sweet, Fresh Strawberry Frosting is versatile for all sorts of cakes and decorating purposes.

Creamy Coconut Frosting topping with a sprinkling of toasted coconut is what island dreams are made of in my world, especially when layered into that Pineapple Cake.

Fresh Blueberry Frosting is a light and creamy frosting, whipped in

Rich, dark, ultra-smooth, and creamy chocolate meets a hint of orange in sweet ice cream like no other you’ve ever tasted.

If you’re skeptical of the chocolate and citrus combination, one taste will be all it takes to convince you. (And if you don’t love the darkest of chocolate, any chocolate you love will work beautifully in this ice cream.)

Chocolate Orange Ice Cream

We tried a Chocolate Orange flavored ice cream while we were in Montreal and Sean declared it the best one he tried throughout our vacation.

It really was fantastic. So, naturally, I couldn’t resist trying my hand at recreating it. Four (maybe it was five ?) batches later, this ice cream has been declared one of Sean’s all-time favorites.

Do you love the chocolate and orange combination too? Don’t miss the EASY to make Chocolate Covered Oranges that my family adores!

Over the years, I’ve made this ice cream with extra dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, regular cocoa powder, and special dark cocoa powder too. It works every single possible way.

Sean and I love it best with the darkest of dark chocolate, however, my boys like it best with semi-sweet chocolate. The final color of the ice cream will be determined by how dark your chocolate is. As you can tell by the photos here, it will vary a good bit.

I’ve made this both with and without orange zest, as well as with store-bought juice. The zest makes a big difference in the results, especially when using fresh orange juice.

Fresh and store-bought orange juice will both work well. The fresh orange juice produces a milder flavor with a little more sweetness to it. The store-bought orange juice was just enough stronger than fresh I preferred it in the end.

Bite-size chunks of Monster Cookie dough are more irresistible than ever when tucked into the Best Ever Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

Best Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Let’s talk cookie dough. I have a weakness. Hand me a spoon, a fork, or a mixing bowl, there’s no cookie dough that doesn’t have a siren call for me.

That said, I do play favorites. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream is a classic that I do love. However, it will never trump Monster Cookie Dough for me.

Monster Cookie Dough

I’ve had a weakness for Monster Cookie Dough for about as long as I can remember.

I’ve mentioned it before, but a particular friend and I have a history that includes eating almost the entire batch of the dough for our Monster Cookies at times in the past.

This love of the dough led to making Monster Cookie Dough Bites many years ago and now it has led me to the best ever Cookie Dough Ice Cream.

I make this ice cream both with and without the chocolate swirl. The chocolate is optional, but I highly recommend it. Isn’t everything better with a chocolate swirl?

My favorite homemade ice creams are the ones that require very little effort on my part. At least half of the reason I love making my own ice cream is because it is often easier than a trip to the

Dairy Free Chocolate Ice Cream that doesn’t taste dairy-free and doesn’t have any hint of coconut? YES! It is possible and it is fantastic!

Dairy Free Chocolate Ice Cream

Oh, friends, I am so very excited over this ice cream. I wanted a recipe for a true dairy free chocolate ice cream with no other flavors in the mix. This ice cream? It delivers that in every creamy, rich bite.

This ice cream has all the awesomeness of pure chocolate ice cream in a dairy-free coconut-free recipe!

Dairy Free Ice Cream Without Coconut Milk

I’ve tried several versions of dairy-free chocolate ice cream and while the texture, when made with coconut milk, is absolutely heavenly, that’s definitely a chocolate coconut ice cream.

This combination was inspired by the Oat Milk Shaken Espresso I shared a while back and a friend mentioning how much she dislikes tasting coconut milk in all of the dairy-free ice cream options that seem to be available these days.
