Yay! Ice cream! I’m always up for ice cream.
This week’s Sweet Melissa Sundays group recipe was Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream. It’s vanilla ice cream made with brown sugar instead of white sugar. I loved the taste the brown sugar gave the ice cream. We also had a choice of making a fudge or a butterscotch sauce, but I completely forgot. Oops.
I also baked the Chocolate Chip Cookies with Toasted Almonds that the group baked during my break. I’m so glad I did, because they were really good. I loved the addition of toasted almonds. I had them with this week’s ice cream and they were a great combination. You can find the recipe for them HERE.
Thank you to Karen of Karen’s Cookies Cakes & More for selecting this week’s recipe. You can find the recipe on her blog.

I’m sure the ice cream tastes wonderful, too! Anything with brown sugar appeals to me. I’ll have to put it on my ice cream list!

Wow, each of those looks great and together they add up to a perfect treat! I think I’d like brown sugar in ice cream.

That sounds really good…brown sugar instead of white, something different and fun for sure. Looks nice paired with the cookies.

I love using brown sugar in ice cream. It gives it such a caramelly flavor. Looks delicious!

Okay, the first thing I thought of when I saw your recipe was cookie dough. Does the flavor resemble that awesome taste you get when you eat raw cookie dough? I’d love to make that ice cream flavor. This looks great!

Yum, your ice cream looks so good, it’s making me wish we hadn’t just eaten the last of ours (that I made this morning)! I never thought I would love vanilla so much!

I’m always up for ice cream, too. Looks great and I’m glad you had the chance to make those cookies. They were tasty, too.

Mmmm–cookies and ice cream! Your cc/almond cookies look de-lish! And your ice cream always does! I’m gonna make this brown sugar ice cream I’m see all over today!

Oh man, I wish I still had some of those cookies sitting around so I could have them with the ice cream! Your cookies and ice cream look marvelous – glad you enjoyed them!!
July 6, 2009 at 8:28 am
Um, drool! You always outdo yourself with the fantastic ice cream. The cookies look good enough for me to reach through the screen and grab!

So, would you say you prefer vanilla ice cream with brown sugar over regular white?
This sounds really good and will definitely be giving it a try!
LOL, no ice cream sandwiches?

Your ice cream is perfect! I barely had time to photograph mine before it turned into soup… yummy soup, though!
Great job on the cookies, too!!

Nothing better than cookies and ice cream, wish I could have tasted them, of well. Will make again, DH loved it.

I bet the combination of those cookies and that ice cream was amazing! I’m tempted to go make a batch of cookies right now because I still have a little ice cream in the freezer!
