I love baking. Especially with friends, and especially when it turns out perfectly.
We couldn't wait for the chocolate to set up so it started leaking out, until I blocked it.
Surprise under-layer + walnut crust.
Yum.

Hazelnut Ice Cream
My first attempt at making homemade ice cream. This is the 'cooling the custard' step:
It was helpful to have a freezer outside the kitchen door, especially since there was zero room in the fridge due to Thanksgiving leftovers.
I ground up some roasted hazelnuts and added them to the custard base before spinning it around in the ice cream maker. It was delicious and so fast. Well I should explain, the churning part was fast, but overall it was absolutely not quick because I messed up each step a minimum of one time. However, I learned how to make ice cream just right and next time it will be fast. This batch took me 4 hours!
