Ice Cream Cherry Biscuits

Ice Cream Cherry Biscuits

July is Ice Cream Month and my favorite time of the year to host friends for dinner. I usually throw some veggies on the barbie for a simple meal and save the impressing for dessert when I bust out my unique Ice Cream Cherry Biscuits. These Ice Cream Biscuits are made with Real California Ice Cream in the dough! They are perfect for a #SnackHappy occasion especially when you fill the centers with whipped cream, fresh cherries, and a scoop of ice cream! It’s a decadent dessert that will have your guest oohing and ahhing. You can serve them at dinner parties but would also be a great option to serve as a brunch treat.

Excitement fills me whenever I think of these yummy Ice Cream Biscuits and realize they come from a long line of quality ingredients made with sustainably sourced Milk from California dairy families. I simply look for the seal to find my  prized Real California dairy products for perfect biscuits everytime.

Ice Cream Cherry Biscuits

Prep: 20 minutes

Cool/rest: 8 hours

Bake: 22 minutes

Yields: 12 ice cream biscuits

Ice Cream Biscuits:

  • 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 sticks Real California butter, cut into tabs and frozen
  • 1 ¼ cups Real California Vanilla ice cream, melted and divided
  • 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Cherry Mixture:

  • 2 cups cherries, pitted and cut in half
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Whipped Cream:

  • 2 cups Real California whipping cream (cold)
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Ice Cream:

  • Real California Ice Cream of choice

Directions:

Ice Cream Biscuits: Add flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda to a food processor. Pulse until dry ingredients combine.

Add in the frozen butter and pulse to break up the butter until it shapes into small pea size pieces.

Slowly add in 1 cup melted ice cream, then pulse until dough comes together.

Transfer dough to a clean surface and knead for a few minutes.

Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.

Fold the dough onto itself several times, then roll out again.

Then fold the dough like a folder with each end meeting in the middle, then fold the outer ends toward each other so you know have 4 layers of dough on top of one another.

Roll one more time just to meld all the layers together.

Cut into 2 inch round ½ inch thick circles until all dough is used.

Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and place in the freezer overnight (8 hours minimum) or until frozen.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Brush the top of the biscuits with ¼ cup melted vanilla ice cream, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar over the tops.

Bake for 22 minutes.

Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool.

Cherry Mixture: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and allow to rest for 20 minutes or until cherries form a syrup. (This portion can be made a few days in advance for all flavors to meld.

Whipped Cream: Pour Real California whipping cream in a stand up mixer with a whisk attachment. Whisk on high for 2 minutes or until soft peaks form. Sprinkle sugar over the top and continue whisking on high until peaks form and cream is dense.

Assemble: Split biscuit in half. Add a scoop of Real California Ice Cream to one half then pour a tablespoon of cherry mixture over top. Pipe in or spoon in a delicious amount of whipped cream, then top with other half of biscuit. Enjoy!

Julio es el mes del helado y mi época favorita del año para invitar a amigos a cenar. Por lo general, tiro algunas verduras en la barbie para una comida sencilla y guardo la impresionante para el postre cuando saco mis exclusivas galletas de helado de cereza. ¡Estas galletas de helado están hechas con helado Real California en la masa! ¡Son perfectos para una ocasión #SnackHappy, especialmente cuando llenas los centros con crema batida, cerezas frescas y una bola de helado! Es un postre decadente que hará que tu invitado se emocione. Los sirvo en cenas, pero no me opondría a servirlos como un brunch.

Me emociono mucho cada vez que pienso en estos deliciosos bizcochos helados y me doy cuenta de que provienen de una larga línea de ingredientes de calidad elaborados con leche de fuentes sostenibles de familias lecheras de California. Simplemente busco el sello para encontrar mis preciados productos lácteos Real California para obtener galletas perfectas en todo momento.

Christmas Tree Cranberry Pecan Scones

Christmas Tree Cranberry Pecan Scones

Christmas-Tree-Cranberry-Pecan-Scones

What is your early morning treat of choice to leave for Santa? Are you team cookies or team scones? A few years ago my son and I made Christmas Tree Cranberry Pecan Scones during the holiday season. We fell in love with these scones, made with Real California Milk dairy – butter, buttermilk, heavy cream… yes, they are fluffy and absolutely perfect to serve for breakfast.

As we sat there eating our delicious Christmas Tree Cranberry Pecan Scones, my son asks if we could leave a batch out for Santa instead of our traditional cookie. I explain to him this is more of a breakfast treat, and he says to me “Perfect, Santa comes in the early morning hours to drop off my gifts he can have an early breakfast!”

From that point on we started leaving Santa a small plate of scones and a glass of milk. I make a batch on Christmas eve to leave a plate for the man in red and the rest for my family to enjoy Christmas morning. I feel like a good samaritan knowing I’m doing my part by using #RealCaliforniaMilk products – they are made with sustainably sourced milk from California dairy families, and when I see that seal I feel confident I’m giving Santa pure quality.

Happy Breakfast together + Holiday Season = Building Memories! #MorningsMeanMore

On Dia De Los Muertos I honor my dearly departed with Chocolate Calavera Cake made with my family’s favorite Abuelita Chocolate! I know my tio’s and tia’s are sure to come when I put these cakes on the altar. The lovely scent of marigold and chocolate is the welcome they have been waiting for. I pay great attention to the ornamentation in decorating the lovely calveras with royal icing, as my tio was an artist and will appreciate the small details. I pick up all my ingredients at Northgate Gonzalez Market and a bundle of Flor de Cempasuchil to decorate my ofrenda just so. My tia will be thrilled to find her mini skull chocolate cake and that’s enough for me to feel at peace.

Cherry Carlota

Calling all dessert lovers! Could we really celebrate Easter without a gorgeous dessert? I’m taking the fuss out of our Easter meal this year with a simple and easy Carlota! I decided to add cherries to my Carlota and change it’s traditional color of white to a festive pinkish-purple pastel. It’s the prettiest color but aside from that, the fresh cherry flavor only adds to this already delicious dessert…. pushing it all the way up in dessert ranks. Lucky for me, I was able to find all my ingredients at Northgate Market and pick up a few extra goodies while I was there. I hope you’ll try this Easter Cherry Carlota and make it whenever you have a bag of cherries hanging around.

I usually repurpose one of my senior pie photos on #PiDay because I make pie all year round. I felt this year deserved a brand new photo and something a little fantasy and hopeful. Mini apple pies seem to be a good portrayal of how I’ve been feeling. It’s almost as if I could touch the beginning of Spring and am anticipating some happy changes in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed. To be completely honest, I’ve hit the pandemic fatigue wall and know we are in the final stretch… just gotta hold on tight a little longer.

I made it with Mozzarella cheese, papas, roasted red peppers, and jalapeños. Each time you tear into this heart-shaped pizza pie remember how much I adore you.  Thank you for putting a smile on my face, and for being so supportive always.

Cupids-Arrow-Breakfast-Pizza

Directions:

Bring dough to room temp

Rub a baking sheet lightly with olive oil an hour and half before you’re ready to bake.  

Pull plastic wrapped dough out of the refrigerator to come to room temperature.

45 minutes before ready to put your pizza in the oven, place a pizza stone on rack 1/4 of the way up from bottom of oven.  Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare the ingredients

Fry your potato hearts and arrow pieces. Set to the side.

Take one of your dough balls and place on a lightly floured surfaced and shape into a disk.  Then continue to pull out into the desired size of your pizza by draping it over the back of your hands, and continue to rotate dough with the back of your hands in a clockwise motion with the aid of your thumbs.

Sprinkle your lightly olive oiled baking sheet with a pinch of cornmeal then lay pizza dough directly on top to form shape.  Continue to go around the edges forming a slightly raised rim with the tips of your fingers by pinching and gathering the dough. Then shape into a heart.

Drizzle a 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil on the inside of the heart and then spread it around the inside with you fingers avoiding the rim.

Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese,  a few jalapenos, red roasted bell pepper, and a few potato hearts. Break a raw egg in the middle and place pizza in oven for 11 minutes or until crust is golden!

Bake

Bake each pizza one at a time. Place your heart shaped  pizza on a plate and decorate with potato arrows, and serve with coffee,  fresh fruit, a little salad.

If you follow my page closely, then you know I am a music girl. It’s a big part of my world and it’s also a great way to get to know a person. People who are absolutely impassioned by melody surround themselves with others of the same interest. This attraction usually leads to hours of music banter. I love when I get caught up in a storm of musical stories… Listening to how certain songs came to be or changed someone’s path completely.
