Parev Vanilla Ice Cream

My friend Elisheva in Ramat Beit Shemesh always had the best desserts. When we ate by her, I secretly waited the whole meal for her elegant yet simple dessert spread. Well that's not completely true...I enjoyed the first course and main course very much too! 

One thing that I learned from my friend Elisheva is that practicality is KEY. Sometimes it's not about having different exciting desserts- it's about having the same dessert that just works every time. And every time we went it was the same basic template of cake, ice cream, and fruit. BUT IT WAS SO GOOD! 

Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream Pie

Hello Friends & Family,

Nice to chat with you again!

This is a fun food to do a write-up on! This is mainly because it looks and sounds really spectacular (which it is), but it is also a complete joke to make. I remember the day that my sister shared this sacred recipe with me. I remember the relief that surged through my body and the glee. Oh yes, the glee!

This recipe is not found in any cookbook (that I know of, at least), yet many wives and mothers know of this secret concoction. “How? How!,” you may ask. Well, this recipe is generally passed down from mother to daughter, sister to sister, friend to friend. And because we are all friends on this blog, you will now be privy to the recipe that may just change your life.

I love watching people’s reaction when I list the ingredients and steps to the cookies ‘n cream pie.  I just recently told a friend of mine who ate by our house, and she reacted with an evil chuckle! And then she whispered, “No! Really?”.
