As you can tell from the photos, it’s hot here in Texas. I literally had 3 minutes to photograph this ice cream before it melted into soup… and it pretty much did, don’t ya think? Soup or not, Melissa’s ‘Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream’ was delicious. I kicked it up a bit and added chopped pieces of chocolate and with her Hot Fudge Sauce, it was pure heaven. So yum… and perfect after an afternoon of weeding the flowerbeds!
Many thanks to Karen of Karen’s Cookies Cakes & More for this week’s cool choice! 
Check her blog for the recipe and of course, SMS for all my fellow fab bakers!

Love the chocolate swirl in your ice cream. I’m not a big ice cream person but whenever I eat ice cream, I like the soft/partly melted consistency of the ice cream in your picture

I can not begin to tell you how wonderful that looks! That is my favorite stage of the ice cream, when it’s all melty like that.
