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 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!

Three Layer Banana Pecan Cake

3 Layer Banana Pecan Cake

The first time I had a three layer banana pecan cake was at my Uncle Luke and his bride Vita’s wedding. I was a little girl under the age of ten and had never tasted anything so fine. Having banana cake at a wedding wasn’t a popular thing to do in those days. I distinctively remember instantly falling in love with the taste of banana cake and wondering WHEN I would have this enchanting taste in my life again?

I know the album is intended for babies, but it is so easy on the ears and really plays to the baby soul in me.
