With a pecan-cookie-flavored base, topped with layers of chocolate and cheesecake, Chocolate Delight is a special summer dessert

I still remember the first time I tasted Chocolate Delight.  It was at a family picnic, and my husband’s aunt brought a big tray.  After the first bite, I realized it might be the best potluck dessert I’d ever had.   

There was a layer of chocolate pudding, a cheesecake-like layer and a whipped topping that were delicious.  But the best part of all was the base.  Similar to a pecan cookie, the nutty flavor made it unique–and absolutely delicious!  Read more

This Peanut Butter Ice Cream is cool, creamy, tasty–and super easy.  Add a fudge ribbon for even more fun. Sugar free option included.

Summer hot enough for you?  Even in Wisconsin, where we usually avoid the worst of the heat, there have been multiple days in the 90s.

It takes me back to my childhood where temps over 90 meant special treats.  Things like running through the sprinkler or taking out the wading pool.  And the best treat?  Ice Cream!

Today’s Peanut Butter Ice Cream (with an optional fudge ribbon) has all the flavor of a peanut butter cup but is cool and refreshing for summer.  And it’s a no cook recipe so it’s also easy.  Just blend the ingredients in a blender and freeze per your freezer’s instructions.

So good, I’d even eat it in winter!  Read more
