S'mores Cake 🔥

A gooey, layered celebration of everything you love about s’mores — now in full cake form. Graham cracker base, rich chocolate center, and a toasted marshmallow blanket on top. It’s the skillet dip’s bigger, more impressive sibling that still comes together without much fuss.

Ingredients (for a 9-inch round or square cake, 8-10 servings)
Graham Cracker Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 full sheets)
⅓ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of salt

Chocolate Layer:

2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: ½ tsp espresso powder (deepens chocolate flavor)

Marshmallow Topping:

3–4 cups mini marshmallows (enough to fully cover the top)
Extra graham cracker pieces or crumbs for sprinkling

For Serving:

Extra graham crackers for breaking and scooping

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan, springform pan, or cast-iron skillet with butter or non-stick spray. Line the bottom with parchment if using a regular pan for easier removal.
Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the chocolate layer.
Prepare the chocolate filling: In a medium saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave in 30-second bursts), combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (and espresso powder if using). Pour this over the baked graham cracker crust and spread evenly.
Add the marshmallow layer: Generously scatter the mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer, pressing them down slightly so they’re nestled in. For extra drama, you can mix in some larger marshmallow pieces or dollops of marshmallow fluff.
Bake: Return the cake to the oven and bake for 12–18 minutes, until the marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top. For that classic toasted look, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes — watch it like a hawk because marshmallows go from perfect to burnt very quickly.
Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes (it will be extremely gooey). Sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs or pieces if desired. Serve warm with additional graham crackers on the side for scooping or breaking off chunks.

Total time: ~45 minutes (mostly hands-off)
Yield: 8–10 servings

No-Bake Frozen Margarita Icebox Pie 🍹

It's National Tequila Day, so here's the dessert version instead of the cocktail.

Heads up, this one's an adults-only dessert — it has real tequila in it, so save it for the grown-ups at the table. Tart, cold, a little sweet, on a pretzel-and-graham crust that gives it a salty edge without needing an actual salt rim.

Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels and graham crackers, mixed
• 6 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup tequila
• 2 tbsp orange liqueur (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
• Lime zest, for topping

Directions:
1. Mix the crushed pretzels, graham crackers, and melted butter, then press into a pie dish. Chill 15 minutes.
2. Whisk the condensed milk, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur together.
3. Fold in the whipped cream.
4. Pour into the crust and freeze at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
5. Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before slicing. Top with lime zest.

Yield: 8 slices | Total time: 20 minutes active, 6 hours freezing

For a non-alcoholic version, swap the tequila and liqueur for extra lime juice and a splash of water.

Salt on the rim, or skip it entirely?"

Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches with Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

This is the dessert that made me feel like a kid again, no nostalgia goggles required.

Two soft-baked cookies, a scoop of vanilla ice cream between them, pressed just enough to squish out to the edges. Freezer for twenty minutes and it holds together perfectly.

Ingredients:
• 12 soft-baked chocolate chip cookies (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
• Mini chocolate chips or sprinkles, for rolling the edges (optional)

Directions:
1. Scoop a generous portion of vanilla ice cream onto the flat side of one cookie.
2. Top with a second cookie, flat side down, and press gently until the ice cream reaches the edges.
3. Roll the exposed ice cream edge in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles if using.
4. Wrap individually and freeze at least 20 minutes to firm up before serving.

Yield: 6 sandwiches | Total time: 15 minutes active, 20 minutes freezing

Note: since these use already-frozen ice cream, the main thing to watch is not letting them sit out too long before serving, or the whole thing slides apart.

For National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, the only debate that actually matters.

Cone or cup?

I know cone people think they're winning some kind of authenticity contest, but I'm a cup person and my ice cream has never once ended up on my hand.

🧈 Brown Butter Vanilla Bean Blondies

If you think vanilla is a boring flavor, you haven't had it with browned butter yet.

Browning the butter first turns plain vanilla into something nutty and almost caramel-like. These are chewy in the middle with crisp, crackly tops.

Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 vanilla bean, scraped (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract)
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling often, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Watch closely, since it can go from browned to burnt fast.
2. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the brown sugar.
3. Whisk in the egg and vanilla.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 pan.
5. Stir in the flour and salt until just combined.
6. Spread into the pan and bake 22-25 minutes, until the top is set and edges are golden.
7. Cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 16 blondies | Total time: 35 minutes

Tag someone who still thinks vanilla is the boring flavor. Prove them wrong with this one.

No-Churn Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 🍦

It's National Vanilla Ice Cream Day, and I'm not letting anyone tell me this flavor needs an apology.

Done right, with real vanilla bean flecks and no ice cream maker required, this is the version that makes people stop reaching for anything fancier.

Ingredients:
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 2 tsp vanilla bean paste)
• Pinch of salt

Directions:
1. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
2. Fold in the condensed milk, vanilla bean seeds, and salt.
3. Pour into a loaf pan and smooth the top.
4. Freeze at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.

Yield: About 6 servings | Total time: 15 minutes active, 6 hours freezing

This is officially my go-to easy dessert for anyone who thinks vanilla is the "safe" choice. It's not safe. It's just correct.

What's your ultimate ice cream topping?

Someone in my life called vanilla "boring" yesterday.

We don't speak anymore. It's fine. I'm fine.
