Vanilla ice cream is a classic. I mean, sure, there are some incredible, exotic flavors out there like tiramisu, half baked cookie dough, strawberry cheesecake, salted caramel truffle... Dont even get me started on how much I want to try Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra. Wait where was I? Vanilla. Yeah.
Vanilla is vastly underrated. With the amount of options we get these days, most of the time we forget about it. But sometimes you don't need over-the-top flavors. Sometimes all you crave is that creamy scoop of sweet, simple, vanilla.
But homemade chocolate sauce and nuts never hurt anyone?
I normally make this as a ganache for chocolate cake but always (obviously not on purpose... sheesh.) end up with loads of extra. I keep it in a jar in the fridge and somehow it always gets over far too quick. There are so many uses for it - am I the only one who thinks chocolate doesn't make everything better? You can drizzle it on ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal, toast, more chocolate, cereal, shakes, anything really!
