"cdkitchen" news and stories

When I was a kid I was addicted to chocolate ice cream (side note: a lot of my posts start out talking about how I was addicted to some junk food when I was a kid - I'm amazed I don't weigh 350 lbs). But when I got older, my tastes changed from pure chocolate to other flavors, usually based in vanilla: chocolate chip ice cream, Heath Bar Crunch maybe some other flavors. Your taste buds must get more sophisticated as you get older.

Anyway, today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Check out the recipe for a very decadent-looking chocolate ice cream at The Joy of Baking, and here's one from CD Kitchen that promises to be like Ben & Jerry's.

Yesterday was National Donut Day. This isn't a good week for people on a diet.

OK, what's going on here? Yesterday was National Raspberry Cake Day, and today it's National Raspberry Cream Pie Day? Did the raspberry growers of America get together and create these two celebrations and put them on consecutive days?

I mean, I've never even heard of Raspberry Cream Pie!

But there are recipes. Oh, yes, there are recipes. Here's one from RecipeSource, and here's another from CDKitchen. That site also has a few variations on the recipe, including Chocolate Raspberry Cream Pie and Raspberry Cream Cheese Pie. Epicurious has one for Black-Bottom Raspberry Cream Pie.
