New ice cream flavors you need to try this summer

Hi ,

Making ice cream from scratch is easier than you might realize. My ice cream recipes require only a few ingredients, are easy to customize, and include step-by-step directions. Because of this, homemade ice cream is a favorite summer dessert and activity in my house. My whole family loves the indulgent flavors we can create as well as the process of blending the ingredients and churning them into a thick, scoopable ice cream.

If you’re looking to try your hand at homemade ice cream, check out my entire ice cream catalog. You may want to start with classics like vanilla or chocolate ice cream, but you can also get creative with unique flavors like pumpkin or cake batter. A lot of my recipes use an ice cream maker, but if you don’t have one, you can follow the steps in my no-churn vanilla ice cream. Don’t be afraid to add different flavorings and mix-ins to create your own signature frozen treat. I’ve added some fresh ice cream flavors below that I’ll be making all summer!

What to do with all that summer basil 🌿

Hi there,

There's a new recipe on the blog today:

Garlic white bean dip with basil and Calabrian chili, served with carrots, cucumbers, snap peas, and seeded crackers.

It's peak basil season and my garden is not holding back. This new whipped basil white bean dip is the perfect destination for the bumper crop. It’s the dip I’m bringing to all the pool hangs this summer. It has that classic pesto feel to it: bright lemon, fresh garlic, fragrant sweet-but-savory basil--but in dip form with navy beans and cashew butter as the base.

Raw cashew butter is honestly a miracle ingredient for the plant-based folks! The texture of this dip is so silky smooth and rich because of it. A couple of chef-y tricks get you even further. Nothing too daunting, just a five-second basil blanch and a quick sauté of shallots and garlic. It's ready in 20 minutes!

Recipe: Whipped Basil White Bean Dip

Be well,
Laura
