These avocado mint ice cream pops please both the kids and the adults. They check the boxes of sweet, cold and messy, but they’re also outrageously creamy and they have a flavor that you can’t quite place. The perfect cold and creamy treat for the steamy hot days of summer.

Blueberry Corn Pie
July 5th, 2011 · 6 Comments · Baked Goods and Desserts, Recipes, Summer
Whatever the inspiration, this is a pie to keep. The corn adds its own crunchy sweetness to the soft blueberries, and the native starch in the corn helps set the pie filling. Adding cornmeal to my standard butter crust also enhances the corn flavor as well as adding a nice crunch. The result is an all-American, height of summer pie to end all pies. Only of course, it won’t.

Swedish Midsummer Strawberry Meringue Layer Cake
June 21st, 2011 · 17 Comments · Baked Goods and Desserts, Recipes, Summer
The result is a cross between a Swedish Midsummer Cake, a French Macaron or Dacquoise (the big sister to the macaron), an Australian Pavlova and my weird imagination. A very good cross. Let’s just say that four people demolished the entirety of this eight inch cake in one sitting. The edges of the meringue stay crisp, while the cream and the juicy strawberries soften the center into a creamy, light cake. It’s the very essence of summer — light and almost insubstantial, but deeply satisfying.
