So this weekend I took my first trip ever to Cold Stone Creamery. This is quite the ice cream store. Immediately I felt overwhelmed by my choices. The ice cream flavor was easy to choose, Strawberry for me. What took me so long to decide were my topping choices. And then I questioned if I shouldn't just choose one of their signature flavors. I decided in the end to do a mix of both choices. Their Strawberry Shortcake signature mix sounded delicious but I wanted to add and subtract some ingredients. I ended up with Strawberry Ice Cream, Graham Cracker Crust, Chocolate Chips and Chocolate Fudge Sauce.
Since I was so full after our Hibachi dinner, and in a rush to get the baby to bed I threw the ice cream in the fridge where it promptly started to melt. A few hours later the ice cream was moved to the freezer. This I think was one the best things that could have happened. The next night when I went to try my first Cold Stone concoction all the graham cracker and chocolate chips had sunk to the bottom and melted that way. What this caused was pretty much a graham cracker and chocolate chip crust with a strawberry ice cream and fudge topping. Absolutely delicious. I don't know if I'll be able to re-create the crust quality but I will absolutely try.
So this week the decision to be made is: what to bake? I'm trying to decide between Crumb Cake and Tartlets...
