I bought garlic at the grocery store, only to discover I already had several heads of garlic at home. I roasted some to make Japanese egg salad, but figured I’d throw in a couple extra heads since I’d already have the air fryer going and I had plenty of garlic to spare. Needing to figure…

Pasta Bolognese
In the best spirit of the Guessipe, I’ve found Pasta Bolognese to have some pretty interchangeable components… red or white onion, celery or fennel, red or white wine, canned tomatoes or tomato sauce, milk or heavy cream. It’s the long slow simmer that brings it all together. Traditionalists might balk at this, but try it…
Roasted Pistachio Ice Cream
I recently had a fantastic pistachio ice cream at a local Middle Eastern restaurant. Since then I found myself constantly thinking about pistachio ice cream, so I decided I better figure out how to make some. I searched around for some recipes to use as a starting point, but found that they all call for…
Key Lime Pie Cupcakes
I wanted to make a St. Patrick’s Day dessert, and my neighbor had just given me a bunch of limes from her tree. So I decided to make Key Lime Pie Cupcakes. To get that familiar key lime pie flavor I used sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar in both the cupcake batter and the…
Pandan Pie
Today is my favorite day of the year… Pi(e) Day! A few weeks ago, I had a pandan latte at a Vietnamese coffee shop. It was heavenly. Pandan is a leaf used commonly in Southeast Asian cuisine, and the best way I can describe its flavor is like an herbaceous vanilla. One of my friends…
Girl Scout Cookies n Cream Ice Cream
It’s Girl Scout Cookie season! I went to a party and ended up coming home with boxes of Do-Si-Dos, Thin Mints, and Trefoils. Having already consumed many cookies, I decided to use some of the cookies to make Girl Scout Cookie ice cream. Cookies n Cream is my favorite childhood ice cream, so what could…
Coconut Ice Cream with Passion Fruit Swirl
This coconut ice cream with a swirl of passion fruit butter is a tropical treat in a bowl. What more is there to say? Guessipe Spread the coconut on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden (about 5 minutes), stirring halfway through. Remove from the baking sheet and set aside. Bring…
Passion Fruit Ice Cream
I’m thrilled it’s passion fruit season again, and thanks to this year’s heavy rains the vines in the neighborhood are heavy with fruit! So of course I had to tinker with an ice cream flavored with one of my favorite fruits. Many of the passion fruit ice creams I’ve tasted hardly had any passion fruit…
Peach Cheesecake Chunk Ice Cream
When my cheese guy gifted me two huge containers of ricotta, I immediately made 3 Ricotta Cheesecakes. They were pretty rapidly devoured, but that’s a lot of cheesecake, so luckily there were a couple leftover pieces. I’m always on the lookout for ice cream mix-ins, so I secreted the leftovers into the freezer for my…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pretzel Ice Cream
I loved the idea of peanut butter-filled pretzels as an ice cream mix-in, but worried about the pretzels getting soggy. So I gave them a chocolate coating, which sealed out the moisture and gave them another layer of flavor. An additional swirl of peanut butter (because there’s no such thing as too much PB) and…
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
As a kid, Cookies and Cream Ice Cream was my go-to flavor. As I’m still a kid at heart, I don’t know why it took me this long into my ice cream-making journey to get around to trying my hand at Cookies and Cream Ice Cream… especially since all I did was mix Oreo pieces…
Chocolate Almond Ice Cream with Peanut Swirl
I’ve been successful at mixing fun stuff into a vanilla ice cream base, so why not try a chocolate base? And what would I mix in? Chocolate-coated almonds and peanut butter! It is as good as it sounds. Guessipe Whisk the cream, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder together in a pot. Heat until the mixture…
