My husband grew up making this easy, make-ahead dessert, and he asked that I bring it back into rotation. Shortly after his request, I was contacted by TruWhip to create a holiday recipe using their delicious product. So exciting! Already being a fan of TruWhip, I knew I had to recreate my husband’s childhood dessert…

S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwich
When you think of nostalgic summer desserts, what do you think of? For me, I think of s’mores and ice cream. Sticky fingers by the fireside, melting drips on your shoes, and of course lots of laughs with family & friends. Being that we’re in Florida, summer nights rarely call for lighting the fire pit….

Of course vanilla and caramel are already a star-duo, but the combination of the creamy ice cream and crunchy Frosted Flakes…
Coconut Rum Bananas
I was hosting a Gossip Girl dinner with a group friends, and I had two options for dessert. One dessert was super healthy, and then there was this one. Not that it’s horrible… I mean, there is still fruit in it! But upon polling my guests, we decided to go for the bananas caramelized in…
