This ice cream drink is so easy to make. You just need a couple of ingredients. Some recipes online I have seen ask for mint extract. That is pretty good to use, but if you use a food grade quality mint oil, the flavor is well incredible. You could also use milk, but I promise if you use half and half, you are going to have one rich and creamy milk shake.

Before starting this recipe I like to let my ice cream sit out on the counter for a few moments. This way it is a little softer and will blend more easily. You may want top  your shake with cookie crumbs, Girl Scout Mint Cookies, or even a sprig of mint if you want to make this look fancy.

Denny’s has a wonderful seasonal menu, this red velvet puppies were added to the menu that was inspired by the Hobbit movie. These red velvet puppies have white chocolate chips on the inside, and you can dip these warm red velvet treats into a sweet creamy cream cheese frosting. With this copy cat recipe you can prepare of these long after the movie leaves the theater.
These treats would make a great addition for a party or a large gathering. These can be made in a jiffy. My tip is after you make these treats you will not be able to use the oil for frying for anything else, so be sure to use the oil only for these, or the next thing you try to cook in the oil will turn red.

I am using a couple of different types of dairy products in here. I am using heavy cream. Heavy cream is also known as whipping cream and it can be known as industrial cream. Half and half also goes in this recipe. Half and Half is made from equal parts of heavy cream and whole milk. You can find this very often in most grocery stores. I am also using peanut butter, peanut butter cups, sugar, and some vanilla extract.

This recipe makes 1 quart. I am using a Whynter ice cream freezer. You will have ice cream in a little less than an hour. I have made many quarts of ice cream with this machine, it makes ice cream that is much like any premium ice cream you would enjoy. It’s definitely not required to use that exact model, but it works very well.

My friend Tina, of the BakingAisle.com introduced a similar cupcake to these. She found this recipe on the cupcakeproject.com website. She brought these cupcakes to a savory tea party, and they were a hit. I know what you could be thinking, that’s a crazy combination. These bacon beer and cheese cupcakes are not too sweet, but the beer and the brown sugar combine with salty and savory bacon to take your cupcakes in a completely different level.

For this competition one of our secret ingredients was Jarlsberg cheese. We combined this recipe with a darker beer than the original recipe. I thought that this combination was heavenly. If you make this recipe I would urge you to go with a darker beer, beers I would try would be something like Shinerbock, an Ocktoberfest, or even a Marzen.

Cheesecake with Butter Cream Frosting

For these cheesecakes I used these heart molds from Wilton, you do not need to use these pans, you can simply bake cheesecake in a normal cheesecake pan. This recipe will make 5 to 6 of these cheesecakes.
