Bonus Recipe: Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies

You’ll Need:

• 2½ cups flour

Here’s How:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until frothy. Add the eggs one by one and continue to whisk everything until you get a creamy consistency. Mix the flour and baking powder and add the mixture along with the milk and salt to the dough. Now stir in the chocolate chips and the chopped white chocolate. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, form the dough into small balls on the pan, and press them down with a spoon. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes.

3. Spaghetti Ice Cream

• potato ricer
• 5-6 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 4-5 tbsp strawberry sauce
• 3-4 Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls
• white chocolate

Here’s How:

3.1 Transfer the ice cream to the potato ricer and squeeze it out over a plate.

3.2 Garnish the spaghetti ice cream with a few Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls and some strawberry sauce. To finish, grate some white chocolate over the top.

4. Colorful Ice Cream Cake

You’ll Need:

• springform pan
• 8-10 scoops strawberry ice cream
• 8-10 scoops pistachio ice cream
• 8-10 scoops blueberry ice cream
• M&M’s

Here’s How:

Freeze the springform pan before you start making the actual ice cream cake so the ice cream doesn’t melt too quickly later. Then alternately add all three types of ice cream into the pan and smooth it down. Repeat this process with another layer of ice cream. Finish by sprinkling a handful of M&M’s on top and you’re done!

There’s nothing better than a yummy ice cream treat right in the comfort of your temperature-controlled home!
