Ice cream recipes

Orange creamsicle pie: a frozen graham-crust pie blending vanilla ice cream with thawed orange juice concentrate. The childhood ice cream truck favorite, sliceable on a plate.

Silky vanilla Bavarian cream pie with an egg custard base, melted ice cream, and billowy whipped cream set in a baked pie shell. Old-school elegance that wobbles on the fork.

Whole Bartlett pears cored and filled with currant jelly, wrapped in golden puff pastry and baked, served pooled in Calvados caramel sauce. A bakery-window dessert that looks impossible but isn't.

Caramel chocolate pecan pie with a creamy cheesecake filling poured over pecans, chocolate chips, and caramel sauce in a flaky crust. A rich, layered dessert that's part pie, part cheesecake.

Banana split sundae for one with homemade microwave hot fudge, ice cream, peanuts, and a quartered banana. Single-serving solo dessert ready in five minutes.

Mocha chip pie with an Oreo cookie crust, coffee ice cream studded with chopped toffee bars and toasted almonds, finished with a chocolate drizzle. Frozen dessert that hits coffee, chocolate, and crunch in every forkful.

This turns out almost like Snickers bars with the benefit of being "low-fat" and lower sugar than the original candy bar.
