It’s Hot. Go Cold.

June 10, 2010

Ice Cream Cupcakes 

It’s getting hot.  

You know what that means…. under-boob sweat.  

     Don’t look at me like that.  You know it happens to you too.

The only solution:  Ice Cream… and other things from the freezer.  Obvi.

Ice Cream Cupcakes?  Yes.  Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cupcakes?  Fist pump.  Heck yes.

Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas 

Mini Chocolate Dipped Bananas.  Slice the banana in half… you can once again eat these in public.  Just eat quickly.  

Apple Pie Granita 

I ate an entire tray of Apple Pie Granita standing in front of my open freezer.  It’s just frozen juice.  It’s just totally amazing.  

Banana Pudding Ice Cream 

Banana Pudding Ice Cream.  There are Nilla Wafers iiiinnnnn the ice cream.  Done deal, right?  

May I offer you a little hot fudge for that?  Yea, I thought so.  

Super Citrus Smoothie 

The Super Citrus Smoothie.  It makes you stand up straight.  It makes your eyes widen.  It makes your hair look pretty.  Facts.  I like it!

    Great list of treats Joy, but you forgot to include your Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream. That stuff is Awesome!! I ate half of the recipe waiting for it to chill!
    Thanks for all your great recipes, and the humor of your writing.

  • I will be making these ice cream cupcakes as soon as I get home from work, and no one can stop me.

  • I would love to try my hand at ice cream cupcakes! They are so cute.

  • Thanks! I neede an excuse to clear out the freezer! They all look sooo delicious, and then you go and mention fudge sauce… Bad girl, baaaad girl…..

  • Oh snaps, these are all inspiring! And yes, under boobs sweat in St. Louis happens to everyone! Ugh. Maybe I can search for some really cute glassware to serve some of these in. Love your blog!

  • Apple. Pie. Granita.

    Apple. Pie. Granita.

    Ap – okay, I’ll stop. Dammit, I have GOT to make that!

    Wei-Wei

  • Making these for a BBQ I’m having this weekend.

    Underboob sweat is true.

  • I lovelove love chocolate dipped bananas..heck—I love chocolate dipped anything!

  • Those chocolate-dipped bananas are where it’s at!! And that banana pudding ice cream sounds like an adventure I’m might be taking this summer! ;)

  • Ohh, these are wonderful! My mouth is watering. :D

  • Those ice cream cupcakes need to a thing that happens in my house immediately.

    Also. . .I LOVE the animal cups! Where did those come from?

  • You may have posted this before, but what kind of camera do you use to photograph your food? Your pictures always turn out fantastic!

  • these all sound amazing!

  • The hot weather makes ice cream taste so much better. I have yet to make your ice cream cupcakes, but I most certainly will SOON!

  • Yeah man. All of those things would cancel out under the boob sweat. Good call, Joy.

  • The instant pudding in the frozen coffee drinks: was that you own idea? Because, it’s kinda of brilliant. I’ve been trying for years to make a thicker frozen coffee drink (in a quick, conveinient on-the-way-out-to-work way). Bravo.

  • Ohhh wow so many good looking things, i love the look of the banana pudding ice cream, it looks AMAZING!

  • Two fist pumps for applie pie granita! I’m hooked on it! Speaking of fist pumps, Snookie and The Situation were on the Country Music Television awards last night. I’m not really sure why they were there. They’re clearly not country! Okay, I gotta GTL now. Lat-uh. :)

  • If only ice cream could cure the dreaded boob sweat… I’m pretty sure eating lots of it could potentially make it worse… bring on the mega boob sweat!

  • Oh yeah, nothing like a TEXAS SUMMER to make you need something chilly to nibble. Yum..thanks for the inspiration!!!

  • You made me laugh this morning with under the boob sweat. I use a little deoderant in that spot. LOL

  • I feel like making everything pictured, -like right now! Your comment about being able to eat chocolate dipped banana pops in public again totally cracked me up! I didn’t think that would ever be possible again. : )

  • I’ve heard a sheep go “baa” and the pig go “oink”, but i’ve never heard a bunny go “hippity hop”
    Awesome cold treat ideas, a lot of houses will be happier and cooler tonight i’m sure:)

  • Girl!! I dream of “under boob” sweat!!! I’ll keep dreaming about it till I can buy myself a bigger pair… ahhh, someday…! You also said “Obvi”, like as in “obviously”?? Is that how the kids are saying it these days? I’m not old! But you make me feel old when you do things like that! OMG, JOY! I live in Florida! It is blazing blazing hot out here! The humidity is killing me! I NEED a frozen chocolate covered banana STAT!!! Thanks for the inspiration! Someday I will have yummy frozen things and a pair big enough for them to sweat underneath. One may come sooner than the other though… oh well.

  • i HATE under boob sweat! first granny panties, now under boob sweat, i feel we are learning lots of intimate details about you this week, joy!

  • Under boob sweat = yes. But you know it’s super hot when your top lip and your knee caps sweat…Or is that just me?

    All look yummy. Full stop.

  • my friends and i call under-boob sweat “swoobs” sweaty-boobs haha. and that applies to everything else… the back of your knees – swees. occasionally it being SO hot you sweat thru undergarments? Swass. mmHMM.

    that citrus smoothie is my favoriiiite! it is quite the tasty delight meets memories of orange julius’ as a kid.

  • Joy! Under-boob sweat! I just had a laugh explosion at my desk at work…oops. Very suspicious.

    These recipes are fantastic and I hope to make, like, all of them this weekend in my non-AC apartment.

  • Oh my loordy, today was the first morning that in my shower I consciously thought “I better wash under my boobs. They sweated yesterday.”

    Except that it was a morning shower thought, so I didn’t really even register it.

    Until I burst out laughing at my office desk this morning and my coworker had to ask me why…

    Thanks for a morning smile :).

  • oh goodness, these all look so delicious for a hot summer day! i’m going to have to plan a little party around these goodies!

  • Oh my!
    Thank you soooooooooooo much!
    I now know what I’ll be bring to that dinner party on saterday…
    All of these!
    …well at least the first three…

  • Gorgeous photos! On the sweaty boobs subject….My friends and I put an “sw-” in front of any body part that’s sweaty. It’s fun…try it. Swoobs. Swarmpits. Swass….

  • So Joy, I have been religiously reading your blog for about two years now, and I must finally tell you that I wish we lived in the same town and could be BFFs! Maybe next time you visit your sis you can stop off in Portland for an ice cream sundae party with all your Portland fans :)

  • Oh my gosh, Joy. I just know we would be the best of friends if we ever met in person! You are just too funny! Under-boob sweat is a very real issue!!

  • You made me laugh so hard about the under boob sweat…stuff that happens that no one talks about. Love it!

  • those chocolate covered bananas would absolutely be the cure for boob sweat ha

  • oh jeeze lady.
    I am all over this post.

  • Hahaha, reference to under-boob sweat and granny panties are seriously why I read your blog – that, and the delicious recipes. :)

  • I will have to try these recipes. Growing up we would occasionally have ice cream sundaes for dinner on really hot days!

  • You got me @ the “underboob sweat.” :) Not that living in the Mojave Desert I have any idea what that means. Everything sweats here. I love it.

  • Under boob is the bain of my existence. It’s just uncomfortable and there’s no way to pat it down without looking totally innappropriate. I know, I’ve tried. In my cubicle. Not good.

  • under boob sweat, between boob sweat, side boob sweat…honey, i’ve got it all.

  • WOW! Can’t wait to make these with the kids. Thanks for the idea. They look great.

    Visited your blog this afternoon. Saw your new post, and then the photo of the chocolate-dipped frozen bananas. 5 minutes later, I was in my kitchen putting some together.

    you inspire me

  • I think we need to start a support group for boob sweat. In acknowledgment of Kenna’s brilliance above, I propose we call it Swoobs Anonymous. We can have meetings in industrial kitchens with a hundred ice cream makers and make Brownie Bottom Ice Cream Cupcakes and Mini Chocolate-Dipped Bananas to cope with our lots in life.

    Who’s in?

  • Banana. Pudding. Eep! Yum! These all look so delicious, but this is definitely my favourite. And thanks for showing the other side of the animal glasses, too!

  • banana pudding ice cream will kick this hot weather in the butt! (:

  • Lovely indeed, with this heat everything cold is surely welcome!
