(I'm melting...melting!)
This month's Sugar High Friday, hosted by Elise of Simply Recipes, is all about custard.
Still recovering from a rather nasty flu/cold, I toyed with the idea of skipping SHF this month.
But, no matter how crappy I might feel, I couldn't miss it.
Decision made, I decided not to get too adventurous, and stick with a form of custard I was already familiar with: ice cream.
A recipe in the latest issue of Bon Appetit called for dulce de leche ice cream, but expected you to run to the store for it.
Which, of course, just got me wanting to make my own!
From Emerils.com: here is Homemade Dulce de Leche Ice Cream.
Very rich, and really tastes like dulce de leche.
Also makes a rather soft ice cream...look at it melt!
And Elise has already started with the round-up! Please check it out.
And don't forget---Blog Party #2, Tiki Party, is less than one week away! Be sure to get your info in by next Thursday, 22 September. You can leave a link in the comments, or email me at thehappysorceress at gmail dot com

When it comes to ice cream I can be pretty fussy. I like creamy versus chunky and I have a weakness for rich decadent flavors. So a few years ago when Häagen-Dazs introduced Dulce de Leche ice cream I was in heaven. I'd describe it as deliciously...
- Celebrate World Dulce De Leche Day
Nutella, deservedly, has its day. But there are a few of us who feel Dulce de Leche is just as worthy. About a week ago, Brilynn of Jumbo Empandas decided to take matters into her own decidedly talented hands. Thus, 28 February has been designated World...
- Imbb 13: Cupcakes
(Pats self on back) I finally did it; I found out about IMBB before it happened, and came up with my very own, and yummy (if I do say so, myself), creation. My entry? Dulce De Leche-Filled Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Frosting Yeah,...
- The Scent Of Green Bananas In The Cupcake Bakeshop
I have a lot of pictures lying around from before we left Denmark - including these, of some cupcakes I served for my brothers birthday in late February. It's not so much a recipe, but more of an idea. It sprang from the fabulous White Chocolate...
- Dining With The Bloggers - February 16th.
For this week's Dining with the Bloggers, Cathy suggested she and I tried out ingredients that we've never cooked with before. If you are anything like me, you too have there, in the back of the cupboard, weird stuff that you bought on a whim,...
