Devil's Cheesecake Ice Cream


It's official folks. We are big bad homeowners of a money pit.

Just kidding. It's not a money pit. That's just what my father keeps calling it. But we're not taking it personally, he calls every home a money pit. 

We've official spent a full 24 hours in the house and nothing has fallen apart. Yet!



Can I just say I am loving all of this space! It just goes on and on and on...

Seriously though. I actually had to yell to find the hubby earlier. He was in the house but I couldn't see him. That's so foreign to us! 

Background info: we've spent the past year and a half in a very.... quaint.... studio apartment. Just one room with our bed"room", kitchen area, and living room . Alllll within about two feet of each other. 

So yeah, a normal-sized house is like a mansion to us.

I'm thinking we may need to celebrate with a game of hide and seek, just for the fact that there are actually places to hide.  



I've moved several times in my life and every time it is a huge, nasty pain. So I knew what to expect.

The hubby on the other hand, this was his first move. So he started out with loads of energy and excitement. 

By the end of the day, he was swearing up and down we'd never move again. "We'll build on if we have to, completely remodel, but we are never ever moving again". 

Yeah right.



I must say though, I am already falling in love with this house. And not just because it's like a whole new world after our previous residence. I really love it. It just feels like home. 

Is that such a female thing to say?




And can I say something regarding how utterly amazing it is to have some real genuine privacy?? 

See, the studio apartment was in fact above a dentist's office. To get to our door you had to walk through the office and break room. 

On top of having to drag my embarrassingly large amount of groceries through an office full of employees and strangers, I was always trying my best to tread lightly, only listen to music with headphones in, and cooked with the added stress of worrying that a burning crumb might send the entire office building up in an alarmed frenzy.

Which actually happened just a couple of weeks ago and led me into a total towel-waving panic. 

Conclusion: personal space is a beautiful thing.


But about this ice cream! Devil's Cheesecake. In case you couldn't tell, it's a new take on classic cheesecake with a devil's food twist. 

I think I've been on a cheesecake kick lately. The Summer Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, the Toffee Cheesecake Bars, and now this ice cream too. Can you blame me? Cheesecake is wonderful.

This ice cream though I made in honor of my father who's chocolate obsession possibly rivals mine. Hard to believe. But true. 

This ice cream is unique, extremely flavorful, and downright tasty. If you like cheesecake and devil's food anything at all, you're probably going to be very happy with a big bowl of this stuff. 

Oh and P.S. You should definitely make this Ooey Gooey Hot Fudge Sauce to go on top. Just sayin.

  1. Wow! Found you via Time to Sparkle and I HAD to check this out! I'm an ice cream fanatic and this looks to die for. I also love your description of being a new homeowner. We are in an apartment right now and I'm so ready to get a house...At least we're in a 2-bedroom and not a studio :) That must have been wild...

    1. Oh boy, we should be better friends... ice cream is my kryptonite! I just can't. say. no. It's possibly the best thing EVER invented. And being a new home owner is the best! Especially after moving from a small place. Even going from your 2-bedroom to a home will feel like you just stepped into another world I'm sure of it. Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoy this crazy-good ice cream as much as I did!! :) Thanks Loretta!

    1. Ha ha, drooling is perfectly fine as long as you actually get to eat whatever you're salivating over right?! You absolutely must make this! My husband actually asked if it was a frozen cheesecake or ice cream at first, he loved the texture! Thanks Krista!!

    1. Oh! Those are edible pearls! I just threw some on top for fun, you're welcome to do so but they're not called for in the recipe. :)

  4. This sounds amazing! The recipe calls for UNsweetened condensed milk. Is this a typo, or is there really such a thing as fat free UNsweetened condensed milk? Where do you buy it? Thanks for sharing your incredible recipe! Can't wait to try it!
