Triple Strawberry Sundae with Macerated Berries

July 25, 2022 3 Comments

Several posts back, I mentioned that my dessert tastes are fairly pedestrian. Peanut butter and chocolate, caramel, gummy bears, nothing interesting and certainly nothing challenging. What can I say? I’m basic. I know many of my posts would suggest a more sophisticated sweet tooth. But the truth is my ideal dessert is a gooey brownie with a scoop of ice cream on top. Is it simple and, well, kind of dull? Yes. Do I ever not want one? Hasn’t happened yet. Today’s Triple Strawberry Sundae is basically the summer version of a warm brownie sundae. It features a slice of fresh strawberry cake, topped with a scoop of Roasted Strawberry Ripple Ice Cream and finished with a spoonful of macerated strawberries. Yeah, you could say this dish is a little over-the-top.

Well, I’m very excited to share these Cucumber Lime Frozen Margaritas with you today. Why? Because the frozen margarita is my guilty pleasure cocktail. I don’t particularly care for the phrase “guilty pleasure” in all honesty. I don’t feel remotely guilty for loving these grown-up slushies. But it’s true, I do feel less sophisticated when I order a frozen margarita over say, an Old Fashioned or even a traditional shaken margarita. But no perceived cocktail faux pas will keep me from ordering the drink I want. The heart wants what it wants, and today my heart wants these Cucumber Lime Frozen Margaritas.

Blueberry Grunt with Dark and Stormy Ice Cream

This past couple of weeks, I’ve been living out my summer bucket list. There have been lakeside runs, cookouts, and rounds of patio drinks. And, of course, there’s been a grunt. I simply cannot let a berry season pass without making a grunt of some stripe. But I may be getting ahead of myself because chances are the name “grunt” in the context of dessert is not familiar to you. And that’s not something you should feel the least bit bad about. If you grew up outside of the East Coast of Canada, you’re not liable to know this dish. So allow me to introduce you to my home province’s answer to the common cobbler – Blueberry Grunt.

Banana Split Pavlova Terrine with Toasted Meringue

I may have gone beyond the pale with this one. If you’ve visited this blog before, you know I love a good hybrid dessert. The recipe for these S’mores Alfajores is just one of many examples. But today’s Banana Split Pavlova Terrine borrows from 4 separate dishes. It’s one part Baked Alaska, one part ice cream terrine, one part pavlova, and of course, one part banana split. It is however entirely nuts. But hopefully, it comes across as nuts in a good way. This is a layered dessert, so it has many moving parts and it does require a little patience. I say this not to intimidate you because each step is actually fairly simple, but I would encourage you to start this dessert at least 3 days before you need it.
