Banana-Bread Ice Cream
by AndiatBettyCrocker 4/17/2012 12:41:00 PM

At bettycrocker.com, we get lots of requests for banana bread recipes. Bread baking is often considered a fall/winter pastime, but many Americans bake banana bread all-year long. If you are making banana bread, you no doubt have bananas on hand and here is another way to use them in a recipe—make banana ice cream.  While you are at it, why not add a few chunks of your banana bread to ...

Pear-Almond Slab Pie
by AndiatBettyCrocker 3/6/2012 12:43:00 PM

What's a "slab" pie? I used to call them "pie bars"  because they are really just pie ingredients baked in a jelly-roll pan and cut into squares for serving. Slab pies are great to make for a crowd because you can cut them into 24 servings (a pie will serve 6 to 8), they are easier to transport than four pies and you don't have to flute the edges of the crust.   I decided to make a slab pie as a dessert for friends we had invited over one night, using some ripe pears I had on hand.

I finally settled on easiest thing I could think of to provide the lemon flavor—...

Mango Ice Cream
by AndiatBettyCrocker 8/30/2010 10:56:00 AM

Along with summer, the mango season is nearly over. I love hot weather (why do I live in Minnesota?) and mangos and I’m not thrilled to see either coming to an end. I’m reminded of the old adage, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”  My version of this is, “When fall is just around the corner (bitter lemons for me), make mango ice cream using some of those juicy, delicious fresh mangos that you can still get at a supermarket. The ice cream will taste great on our few remaining hot days and will also be a delicious memory of summer if you keep it in y...
