Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundaes with Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Almonds

June 30, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sundaes with Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Almonds

Almost everyone I know has a favorite food that they look forward to when the county fair rolls around each year.

For some people Chiavetta’s chicken, corn on the cob, or deep-fried candy bars are all they can think about. Sausage hoagies with bell pepper and onion is another popular item, and so are Philly cheesesteaks and lamb gyros.

Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Almonds

I won’t commit to just one favorite, but I love those big blooming onions, kettle corn, and wonderfully aromatic candied almonds. I like to munch on those sweetly spiced nuts while walking around the fair, but if any happen to make it home with me, they make a great topping for ice cream.

Smucker’s Simple Delight™ Salted Caramel Topping

Recently when I found a jar of salted caramel sauce in my pantry, the idea for an ice cream sundae came to mind. As we all know, a good sundae is in the toppings, and for this one I went all out. I paired that salted caramel sauce with crumbled biscoff cookies and those sweet-scented roasted cinnamon almonds that remind me of the local county fair.

Sundae Ingredients

The flavors meshed perfectly in this sundae, with salted caramel pulling everything together and rounding out the flavor profile. I used vanilla ice cream as the base to keep it a blank slate, but coffee-flavored ice cream would also be delicious.

If you’re looking for a fabulously easy, but impressive dessert for a summer party, picnic, or potluck, this is perfect. Ice cream is one of the few things the whole family can agree on!

Ingredients
Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Almonds (Yields 2 cups):
  • Butter or cooking spray, to grease the pan
  • 1 large egg white

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣
