I hope you guys don’t mind. I am on a huge ice cream kick. It’s HUGE.
My freezer is overflowing and I am not even done, not even close. My ice cream maker has been churning practically every day this week and my hands are permanently frozen. You’d think it was 90 degrees here, humid and sunny.
Yeah, like 90 degrees would ever happen around here. More like 60’s, but it has been sunny, and during the day the sun makes it feel a lot warmer than 60’s up here. I’ll take it!
Really I am just loving remembering hot, hot day’s when all we wanted was cold ice cream. I mean that was an awesome summer day when my mom would take all of us kids to Dairy Queen. Normally we could sucker her into it just about any time we were on our way home from the grocery store, the pool, the doctor’s office or after school in late May, early June.
Yeah, she was pretty easy to persuade when it came to ice cream. Especially on a hot day. She’s a true kid at heart and honestly she would say we suckered her into it, but the truth is she was just happy to have an excuse to go.
You know what’s really hard??
Taking pictures of ice cream.
For one, all you want to do is lick the thing. It’s like it’s just staring you down saying, “lick me, lick me, I’m smooth, creamy, fudgy, and so good”. Secondly, it melts – fast.
Really fast.
You know what makes it even harder?
Having your four-year old sister sitting on the table begging you to hurry up. Keeping her hands out of the picture was impossible. It got so bad that I decided to put her to work holding up the cone, which made things even harder because she could not hold still long enough to get a shot.
She just keep saying “Tieg, come on. When can I eat it. I want to eat it. Please can you be done now. Come on Tiegy I am hungry for ice cream!” If I was smart I would have taken these shots while she was at school, but I didn’t think about that until about five minutes ago.
So about the dress thing she is wearing in the shot below.
It’s an extremely ugly nightgown that she HAD to have. What 4-year wants to wear nightgowns? I am telling you guys she is so weird. When I was four I ran around in boxers and maybe a t-shirt and hated getting dressed up. Oh wait, that’s not normal either is it? Don’t blame me. I did not know any better, I grew up with three older brothers and two younger. No one else was wearing girl underwear, so why would I?
Asher could not be more different from me when I was her age. She wants to wear dresses, high heals and bikini bathing suits. She loves playing Barbie, dress up and getting her make-up done. I on the other hand wanted nothing to do with anything “girly”. I was the biggest tomboy up until third grade when I finally met my best friend and started crushing on boys. Then I started to care a little more.
Ah, those day’s were fun….. and interesting.
Ahh, sorry about that blast from the past. It was fun though, right?
Ok, you don’t need to answer that.
Let’s talk about this ice cream. I made my own chocolate ice cream base, but if you do not have an ice cream maker you can just stir the mix-ins into chocolate or vanilla ice cream. What are the mix-ins you ask??
Toasted marshmallows, graham crackers and a fudge ripple. It’s insane. The perfect s’more all rolled up into chocolate ice cream. And oh my gosh you guys, the toasted marshmallows are out of this would! So much better than not toasting them, obviously. Plus, the fudge ripple??
Wholy fudge, it’s good!

Friday’s tasting pretty good!
This looks delicious! I am going to have to try this – I was just thinking about s’more flavored ice cream a few days ago!
Thank you Laura!! Hope you love this!
That charred marshmallow is calling my name…ok, the ice cream is too!!! I love that you put toasted marshmallows and fudge into a chocolate ice cream! You totally rock! And the pics with your sister are soooooo cute!!!!
Ha! Thank you Jocelyn!!
What a fabulous ice cream flavor! Pinning and can’t wait to try this summer 🙂
Thank you Nicky and thank you so much for pinning!
Oh, wow~ This looks amazing! This might be the year I finally give in and buy an ice cream maker!
Ha, you have to do it!! I love mine!
I want this so so bad!
Ha, thanks Nessa!
Wow! This ice cream looks delicious. I too am the mom who looks for any excuse for my kids to “persuade” me into stopping for ice cream. I saw your link over at homebasedmom and had to check it out.
Haha! Thank you Tanna! Sounds like you and my mom would like each other!
How in the world could one mind an ice cream kick especially when it results in this kind of yumminess?? Come to mama!
Haha! Thank you Trish!
Have mercy. I want to swim in this ice cream and never come out! I’m 100% OK with your ice cream kick, Tieghan. This has to be the best sounding ice cream under the sun. 🙂 Love your photos!
Haha! Have mercy! That is so cute, it brings me back to my Full House watching days! LOL
I am glad you like the photos, I was worried about using a “living prop”!
Thanks Sally!!
Well doesn’t that look amazing!! YUM! A must make for sure.
Thanks so much Gina!! Hoep you give it a try!!
You are killing me!! The toasted marshmallow is genius! You should really write a book or have a tv show!
Ha! Wow, thank you Jeni!
Asher is adorable – and pretty smart. Who wouldn’t turn down that ice cream? (The lighting and styling of her holding it is so well done, Tieghan. These photos are some if my favorites.) I cannot get enough ice cream, so me and your freezer would be besties, especially if its full of toasted marshmallows and chocolate ice cream … The name alone makes my mouth water!
Thank you Mary!! You always leave the sweetest comments! I love reading them!
You did an awesome job combatting the melting ice cream. The slightly-melted ice cream around the edges of the cones in some of the photos just makes it look that much more delicious!
Thank you Kim! I was so annoyed was those little melted spots, so i am glad you like them!
This looks fabulous!!!! Yum, yum, yum!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Claudia!
Your sister is so cute! I try to get my nephews to help me when I’m taking pictures but it’s usually a failed effort. They can never stand or sit still! And I don’t have one of those fancy DSLR cameras or a tripod so stillness is everything! Your ice cream looks amazing and I am seriously considering buying an ice cream maker online right now to try it!
Oh buy that ice cream maker!! I promise you will love it and you will never want the store bought stuff again!!!
Oh man! Way to fuel my already insane ice cream addiction! It’s so much fun to make your own isn’t? Love the shots with your sister in them…
It really is so much fun making your own ice cream! Thanks Loretta!
