Sadly, today is the last recipe we have for National Ice Cream Month. I’ve had such a blast creating and sharing new ice cream and frozen treats with you all this month. But I am ready to get back to the savory foods next month, that’s for sure. My freezer is stuffed full of leftovers and I don’t think it can hold much more!

Before we bid farewell to this month, I have a final ice cream recipe for you. The recipe is for my Peanut Butter Explosion Milkshake. It’s loaded with peanut butter and decorated with Reese’s Pieces and a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. It truly is an overload of peanut butter!

And here it is!

Tips and Tricks

  1. Creamy, smooth peanut butter is best. To get the perfect texture for this milkshake, make sure to use creamy peanut butter instead of the natural or crunchy kind.
  2. Use less milk for thick shakes. Obviously, the less milk you use, the thicker the milkshake will be.
  3. Blend just until smooth. Do not over blend the milkshake or it will become too thin and runny.

    This was a heavenly milkshake, oh my gosh. I like mine extra thick so I used only half the milk and it was perfect.

    There’s this milkshake place in Toronto that makes big beautiful milkshakes and this one so reminded me of it! It was so good and perfectly creamy and sweet.

    I know I’m going to love this milkshake! Anything with peanut butter has my vote! I am having my nephews over this weekend and I’m going to make it with them (mostly because I don’t want to drink it all myself.) 🙂

    We absolutely LOVED this peanut butter milkshake. My entire family loves peanut butter and chocolate together and you’ve managed to make this better than the original. This will definitely be a repeat recipe for us.

Some of my favorite memories start with the smell Some of my favorite memories start with the smell of coffee swirling through a chilly morning. This Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew was born from one of those mornings, when I had leftover pumpkin cream and too much cold brew not to pair them together.

This isn’t just a seasonal drink, it’s that edgy, cozy twist you crave when autumn meets caffeine: chilled cold brew topped with airy pumpkin-spiced cream that slowly melts in and mingles with every sip. It’s smooth, spiced, and addictive in the best way.

Would you take yours extra creamy or light and dreamy?

I’ll never forget the first time I bit into a ca I’ll never forget the first time I bit into a cake that tasted like summer itself: the sun-warmed sweetness of strawberries, carried into every crumb. That memory stayed with me until I decided to capture it in cake form.

This Roasted Strawberry Bundt Cake starts with macerating strawberries so their juices deepen, roasting them to intensify flavor, then folding them into a tender, buttery bundt cake that’s bursting with berry brightness. Every slice is soft, moist, and dotted with those roasted ruby surprises.

The first time I tasted chocolate raspberry mousse The first time I tasted chocolate raspberry mousse, I was at a small café on a rainy afternoon overseas. A spoonful felt like velvet, silky chocolate dancing with tart raspberry, so light it dissolved in your mouth. That memory haunted me until I made it myself.

This Chocolate Raspberry Mousse is my tribute to that moment. Rich dark chocolate, whipped light as air, with a swirl of bright raspberries cutting through the sweetness. Elegant, indulgent, yet surprisingly approachable.

It’s the kind of dessert that feels special, but doesn’t require hours or dozens of ingredients. Sometimes, the most unforgettable dishes are the simplest.

Would you dig into it plain or top it with fresh raspberries & whipped cream?

It all started on a cozy fall evening. I was cravi It all started on a cozy fall evening. I was craving pie + cheesecake, and I couldn’t decide which to make. So I thought: Why not both?

That’s how these Chocolate Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars came to be. A buttery pecan pie layer rich with toasted pecans and deep caramel, sandwiched over creamy cheesecake, drizzled with chocolate, all baked into a bar you can slice and serve.

Every bite hits: the nutty crunch, the silky cheesecake center, the chocolate swirl that ties it all together. It’s indulgence without the fuss of flipping pies or cutting perfect slices.

One rainy Saturday morning, I found myself craving One rainy Saturday morning, I found myself craving something savory, warm, and a little comforting. I rummaged through my fridge, spotted leftover ham, and remembered a quiche I’d always meant to try. 

So I rolled up my sleeves, caramelized onions until golden, whisked eggs and cream, and folded in those ham cubes, and that’s how these Mini Ham & Cheese Quiches with Caramelized Onions were born.

Now, these bite-sized savory pastries are my favorite brunch hack. Flaky crust, sweet onion richness, melty cheese, and just the right amount of ham in every bite. They feel fancy but are totally doable anytime.
