I never thought that an organized closet would make so happy!
I don’t own an iPad but I was talking at lunch with friends and they were all very frustrated that Pinterest doesn’t have an iPad app and there is no easy way to “pin” without a ton of tedious steps.
CHALLENGE!
Not really, I just Googled it and some one had already figured everything out for us.

Had lunch at Tres Carnales yesterday and I can honestly say it’s the best Mexican food I have ever had. Thank-You for being in Edmonton!
I know a few guys that use Pinterest, hopefully this article will help explain it to those that don’t get it.
GLAZED MOCHACHINO ICE CREAM CAKE
Makes: 16 slices
Prep Time: 15 min.
Total Time: 40 min.
To make this crumb base, we pulsed whole cookies in a food processor for 1 minute before adding butter and fudge sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 cups / 1 L Sensations by Compliments Natural Vanilla Ice Cream
- 4 cups / 1 L Sensations by Compliments Mochachino Almond Fudge Ice Cream
- 2 cups / 500 ml coarsely ground chocolate chip cookie crumbs (approx. 15 cookies)
- 1 tbsp / 15ml unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup / 250 ml fudge sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup / 60 ml Compliments Slivered Almonds, toasted
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Directions
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9-in. (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Allow ice cream to soften at room temperature for 8 to 10 min., until malleable. Meanwhile, combine cookie crumbs, melted butter and 1/4 cup (60 mL) fudge sauce in a bowl. Mix well and press into the bottom of the pan.
- Working quickly, spread vanilla ice cream in an even layer over the cookie base. Drizzle with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of fudge sauce, then add an even layer of mochachino ice cream overtop. (If ice cream is melting too quickly, cover with plastic wrap and refreeze before adding the second layer). Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Spread remaining fudge sauce overtop of the cake, covering completely. Sprinkle with almonds, cover with plastic wrap and store in the freezer. To serve, release the side of springform pan and remove parchment paper. Heat a knife in hot water and dry with a kitchen towel before slicing (you may need to reheat between slices). Garnish each plate with a few raspberries.

Valentine Sorbet Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Fine salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pint sorbet, such as raspberry or peach, softened
Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture and beat until combined. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Roll out dough between lightly floured parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness. With a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 18 hearts, rerolling scraps once. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Freeze until cookies are firm, 10 minutes. Bake until edges are crisp, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
-
Scoop scant 1/4 cup sorbet onto flat sides of 9 cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies. Wrap in parchment or waxed paper and freeze until firm, 20 minutes (or up to 1 week).
