This Mini Drumstick Ice Cream Terrine is layers of vanilla ice cream, peanuts, and crushed sugar cone all topped with a thick chocolate coating.

I’m honestly not sure if my mom has ever made pie dough from scratch.

I should probably ask her.

My mom is the queen of store bought pie crust.

So much so she actually uses it to make the “bread” for her little church’s communion (Lutherans) each week.

Whatever works.

Though I feel like Pillsbury is missing out on a whole market for their pie crust.

As I have stated before on this blog, I did not get my creativity from my mother.

Don’t get me wrong, my mom is a great cook and a good home baker.

But growing up my mom did not deviate much from the recipe.

Using milk chocolate chips when it called for semisweet was living on the edge for her.

Even now she doesn’t stray too much.

So she definitely thinks I’m weird.

For what it’s worth, I am weird.

This is not news to her.

But the food I make seems so out there to her sometimes.

Note, I didn’t say she didn’t like it, just that she doesn’t understand it.

She cannot get behind where the ideas come from.

But she would also totally love it.

She would just bug me about how did I get the idea.

And I don’t know.

I’m at the point in my life where almost anything I eat that is not a baked good…I try to figure out how to make it into a baked good. 🙂

That sometimes leads to epic fails.

Other times some really tasty treats.

Guess which one this is?

And oh yeah, it’s a great day to buy my cookbook.
