Southern Living: Scooped

Takes everything you love about dessert -- hot fudge, buttery cake, swirled ice cream, crushed cookies, whipped cream with a cherry on top -and spins it into one fantastic explosion of frosty sweetness.

Packed with recipes for ice cream and other ice cream desserts, Scooped brings readers dozens of ways to make impressive and indulgent ice cream desserts while leaving out all the fuss. From ice cream cakes stacked high with fillings and toppings to dipped and sprinkled ice cream bars, we're dishing out the best ice cream concoctions Southern Living has to offer. When you want the fully homemade experience, there are plenty of "from-scratch" ice cream recipes featured in the "Ice Cream Shoppe" chapter and rounding out the book is "To Sprinkle and To Hold," a chapter featuring homemade syrups, toppings, cones, and stir-ins that are sure to add a grand finale to whichever ice cream dessert you land on. In between are dozens of ideas for making special treats starting with store-bought ice cream. From many classic Southern Living recipes to newly created favourites from our test kitchen, this book is the right mix of beloved recipes with vibrant new ideas that give readers something that can't be found anywhere else.

With brand new concoctions, tried-and-true favourites, and recipes with Southern charm, Scooped stacks up to be the most fun Southern Living has ever slathered into one book. We say keep the brain freezes coming!
