unseasonly sweet


my coworkers are telling me that ice cream is not in season. i beg to disagree as i find that ice cream transcends seasons. tonight i will make: baklava ice cream!

as a child i had instilled in me a love of honey, cinnamon, walnuts, and pistachios. when my family first immigrated to the US they founded an ice cream shop in boston called Y Brothers' Ice Cream (Y for Yiannacopoulos). they creamed and mixed all sorts of common American flavors, but also brought in their own cultural twist to ice cream. i shall make a simplified version of their baklava ice cream tonight and i suggest you do the same when a sweet tooth next comes knocking! for a wintery twist add a scoop of this to the cardamom coffee i wrote about earlier this week...it's a great way to spoil yourself after a long week!

with the sweetest of teeth,

becca ann

recipe:
take basic vanilla ice cream (as much as you'd like)
add honey to taste
sprinkle it with chopped walnuts and pistachios
finish it off with a dash of cinnamon and a pinch of cloves...
divinity.
