momofuku-inspired cornflake chocolate chip + marshmallow ice cream.

There’s a scene in the movie Garden State (good movie, terrific soundtrack; check it out) where Zach Braff and Natalie Portman are hanging out after Zach meets her in/gives her a ride home from the hospital. Natalie reveals her belief that all awkward moments can be banished by doing something completely unique; some motion, or sound, or anything, really, that no one has ever done before. Then she does something random with her arms, they both laugh, and everyone feels better. Now, I didn’t make this ice cream because I felt awkward, but it did make me feel a little more confident about my ice-cream-creation skills. Because it is unique, and I really hope maybe it hasn’t been done before. This recipe is not a Momofuku Milk Bar original (except for the cornflake crunch and cereal milk, which are recipes adapted from the book), but rather an ode to how much I am inspired by the flavor combinations contained in that precious tome. I worked hard on it, and I hope you love it as much as I do; so now, I give you Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Ice Cream. Continue reading →

banana cream pie + toasted marshmallow fluff.

Pssst! I’m on vacation. Most of you know that by now; certainly I’ve talked enough about it on Facebook for it to have driven you mad. I’ll be posting from my vacation soon enough, but this was a recipe I had half-written prior to leaving, and is just perfect for summer, so I had to give it to you. I sort of feel like I’m guest-posting for myself until I can get the photos and recipes rolling from down here, which will be very soon. Until then, I hope this tides you over. 

I should tell you that this wasn’t even going to be a blog post. I was never going to blog about this particular banana cream pie. It started off as a request to be fulfilled for Father’s Day this year; nothing more. A simple pie Mr. Table hadn’t had in a while, which he wouldn’t mind if I made for him. Okay. But this is a good example of how – even in real life – I can’t seem to just leave well enough alone anymore and make things according to basic recipes. I don’t do well with others telling me what to do, and maybe this is how lately it manifests itself; Random Acts of Pie Toasting for no reason other than because I can. And so I did; today, I give you what I (affectionately) call my Low-Rent Banana Cream Pie. Continue reading →

fruity pebble + marshmallow cookie.

by shannon on February 12, 2012 in desserts with 15 Comments

Am I serious right now? A fruity pebble marshmallow cookie? I must to be kidding.

But I am not kidding. Not at all. It’s a version of the Momofuku Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow cookie they mention in the Milk Bar cookbook and I had to try it. You see, I am a cereal addict. I love it. I’d eat it all the time if it was at all good for people to do such things. I have loved cereal forever – and i’m not even talking about the super-sugary kind. Even things like Cheerios and Corn Flakes in my pantry cause me to rethink/ditch my dinner plans for a bowlful of starchy goodness.  Continue reading →

the momofuku cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookie.

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday stuffing themselves to the brim with an obscene amount of food and sweets. I know everyone is borderline sick of cookies, and I won’t bother you with a fancy holiday one, but this one came from one of my christmas presents. It’s one last cookie for the year, and I sort of just really had to try it. Just, you know, before those pesky New Years’ resolutions kick in. And because yoga pants really have a way of masking the several pounds we’ve all gained this holiday season (especially the ones with the foldover top). But we’ll all have to put on real pants soon enough, and you want to get this cookie out of the way prior to that happening.  Continue reading →
