Instructions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
Tip: Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks until they are well combined. Gradually add a little of the warm white chocolate mixture to the egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
Tip: This is called tempering the eggs and it will help prevent lumps from forming in the ice cream.
- 3
Once the egg yolks have been tempered, gradually add them to the saucepan with the white chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
Tip: Make sure to add the egg yolks gradually to prevent the mixture from cooling down too much.
- 4
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and passed the "wrinkle test". This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Tip: The wrinkle test is a simple way to check if the mixture is thick enough. Place a small amount of the mixture on a chilled plate and let it cool to room temperature. If the mixture wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it is ready.
- 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until the butter has melted.
- 6
Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover it and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Tip: This will allow the mixture to chill and set.
- 7
Once the mixture has chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Tip: This will give you a slightly chunkier texture.
- 8
Once the ice cream has finished churning, transfer it to an airtight container and cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Tip: Make sure to press the plastic wrap or aluminum foil directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent air from getting in.
- 9
Place the container in the freezer and let it harden for at least 2 hours.
- 10
Once the ice cream has hardened, scoop it into bowls and serve.
Tip: You can also add any mix-ins you like, such as chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
Tropical Quinoa
This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt
This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just ten minutes flat. Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt is that perfect balance of impressive and effortless, with tangy Greek yogurt and zingy preserved lemon creating a sauce that feels restaurant quality but tastes like home. The seabass gets beautifully golden and flaky while the freekeh provides substantial whole grains packed with fiber and protein. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
