Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter Ice Cream

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… (and possibly one thousand times thereafter): Alcohol by itself? Meh. Alcohol combined with heavy cream and chocolate and then churned into an otherworldly masterpiece of cold and creamy proportions? Much, much better 🙂 Don’t believe me? Well just take a look at this beauty: (Ain’t she…

No Churn Cannoli Ice Cream

A few weeks ago, a reader reached out to me to see if I had ever featured any “no churn” ice cream recipes on the blog. Naturally, I was perplexed. No churn? Ice cream?

Homemade Chocolate Shell

As much as I love and desire all things ice cream, I wouldn’t necessarily categorize myself as an ice cream purist. That is, I like a little crunch in my ice cream…a little texture. This can be achieved through the addition of nuts, chocolate chunks, or other so-called “mix-ins” to the ice cream base, resulting in a complex and satisfying…

Akron’s Best: Pav’s Creamery

Every day at work around 3 pm, I am hit with an immense wave of boredom and discontent that can only mean one thing: snack break. Usually, I’ll make my rounds in a predictable fashion, hopping from one coworker’s candy dish to the next until I have acquired enough Peanut M&M’s or fun size Milky…
