whimsical wednesday!

megan, jacob and i have mixed and baked the ice cream muffins!  this two ingredient delight was enjoyed by the family.  this first time treat was assessed by the participants:

megan: tastes like mamala (me).
jacob:  tasty.
scott:  dense yet soft, butter would be good on them.
sarah:  would be enjoyed more if in a different flavor.

the muffins really have the texture and consistency of muffins.  the ice cream flavor used was "death by chocolate" a rich chocolate ice cream with nuts and brownie bits.  we decided next time we bake the muffins to try vanilla (what the recipe called for) or butter pecan or a fruited ice cream like strawberry or peach. the muffins were tasted warm, just out of the oven, and it was decided that warm made them taste especially good.  we'll taste them at room temperature later to compare.  (if warm is better, there's always the microwave to reheat them!)

a thank you to my sister for sharing the recipe with me. she got it at a cooking demonstration she attended recently.
