Description

Any of the classic dessert recipes with ice cream—AKA “a la mode”—are best. A warm, fudgy brownie, a slice of apple pie and a fruit-filled cobbler are all made better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or, use homemade ice cream to make ice cream sandwiches.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until sugar is dissolved. Fill cylinder of ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (Refrigerate any remaining mixture until ready to freeze.)
  2. Serve immediately or transfer to freezer containers allowing headspace for expansion. Freeze until firm, 2-4 hours.

Shiitake Salmon With Crispy Skin From Marc Matsumoto

This trick will make any salmon better: grilled, roasted, pan-seared, broiled. In fact, it will make just about anything you want to eat better: meatballs, pasta sauces, popcorn—even ice cream—all with the same Microplane you use to grate cheese and lemon zest, and the umami-packed dried mushrooms that will keep almost-forever in your pantry. No pre-soaking the mushrooms, no pulling out (or cleaning) the spice grinder, just grating as casually as you’d sprinkle salt. Here, we’re using Marc’s trick on Sally Schneider’s Genius Slow-Roasted Salmon| New Window, with an extra tip for crisping the salmon skin from Food52 community member Lune, but feel free to use it far and wide.
