Rich and creamy vanilla ice cream exploding with pieces of homemade chocolate chip cookies is what chocolate chip cookie ice cream is and what makes it so irresistible. This is an ice cream that will keep you coming back for more!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream

Not to be confused with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, this ice cream is made of chunks of homemade (or bakery-style) chocolate chip cookies tucked into creamy rich vanilla ice cream. I love this ice cream when made with these cookies or these cookies.

The salt is optional, but I love that little something extra that it adds. Feel free to skip it if salted chocolate isn’t your thing.

The key to the overall texture of the finished ice cream is simply that the cookies be chewy and not too crispy. We aren’t looking for a crunchy bite in the ice cream, we want chewiness to remain when they’re frozen! They should retain their signature texture and flavors when they have been layered into the ice cream.

Lemon posset is creamy, velvety 3-ingredient lemon pudding that is impossibly simple and satisfying. It’s impressive as can be and proof that old-school techniques can yield very happy modern results!

Lemon Posset

When I say this dessert is old school, I mean OLD school; as in dating back to the sixteenth century. These simple but satisfying desserts have stuck around having the occasional sunshine-laden burst back into popularity because they are so very good and so incredibly easy to make.

While it’s much, much easier to lay your hands on lemons no matter where you live these days, not much else has changed about making possets.

What Is A Posset?

Simply put, you use citric acid in the form of lemon juice to thicken sweetened cream to make these sweet treats. Sugar and cream are whisked together, boiled, and then introduced to lemon juice which does the job of thickening the cream.

It’s so easy you might not believe it until you try it yourself, but try it you should! For an elegant touch, you can serve these in hollowed out lemon halves or keep it simple and serve in small, individual bowls. No matter what, it’ll make any meal feel special.
