At the end of last year I made the announcement that I was no
longer going to bake. I don't like baking, and life is too short to do things
that you don't want to do. This is not to say that I won't be making biscuits,
scones, and cookies, because life isn't worth living without biscuits, scones,
and cookies; I love them. But, over the years, because I don't enjoy baking, I
find that whenever I'm hosting a dinner, 50% of my stress comes from trying to
think up a dessert to make, and then actually making that dessert. So, from now
on, I am going to patronize some of the wonderful bakeries within a 5-mile
radius of my home, of which there are plenty, for my desserts. You're welcome
local merchants.
But just because I don't plan to bake does not mean that I'm not going to be serving some delicious homemade desserts of my own. Loads of yumminess can be made without baking. Case in point, this delicious Mocha Chip Ice Cream that is a breeze to assemble, with a decidedly high-end taste, not to mention heavenly!
I used an ice cream maker, but you really don't have to, you can pour this mixture into a loaf pan and pop it into your freezer. In order to keep the chocolate chips from settling to the bottom, let it freeze for a while before you add them, then fold them in, and put it back into the freezer. This is so good that you are not going to want to share.
