No Churn Vanilla and Marzipan Ice Cream

Over the last few years, I’ve seen quite a lot of recipes for no-churn ice cream. I got curious, but still postponed trying them.  

While making a batch of my homemade Marzipan (click HERE for the recipe), I kept a bit on the side, planning to find a recipe to use it with. Then the idea of incorporating it with ice cream came to mind, and soon after I was checking these recipes again.

Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches (i.e. three types of milk) cake, is one of my favorite desserts to order, whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant. The spongy cake is oozing with a tasty milk syrup, and topped with whipped vanilla cream. Granted, it is sweeter than most cakes I’m usually making, but it is also very delicious and irresistible. So far, I was happy enough with only ordering it when at the restaurant, and didn’t make it at home. But with limited restaurant experiences lately, things changed, and I was looking for an authentic recipe, in order to make it at home. When I saw the detailed recipe for it on a blog I follow, Irene’s “My slice of Mexico”, I knew it was the one to try first.

Ever since I’ve discovered sweetened condensed milk dough in this blog, I’ve been experimenting with it. I like the easiness of its preparation and of rolling it, and the fact that it keeps its shape well while baking.

Apple, Pineapple and Honey Mini Tarts

After enjoying filled cookies made with sweetened condensed milk dough (click HERE for the recipe), I knew I wanted to use this dough in more than one way. The following tasty mini tarts are the result of this decision.
