Tahini-Chocolate Sauce
This rich-and-creamy fudge sauce is inspired by one of my favorite recipes from The Bojon Gourmet. The tahini adds a nutty, savoriness to the sauce that cuts through the sweetness of the ice cream.
Blueberry-Lavender Sauce
This bright summer berry sauce is not as sweet as you might imagine. The generous amount of lemon juice cuts nicely through the sugar and the lavender adds a subtle floral note.
Salted Whiskey Caramel Sauce
When making homemade caramel sauce, there are two important rules: First, have patience. It will take a while for the sugar to caramelize and achieve the deep amber color you’re looking for, but keep an eye on the pot. It can go from your desired color to burnt very quickly.
Aperol Spritz Cupcakes
An Aperol Spritz is a low-alcohol, effervescent cocktail made with the aperitif Aperol (Campari’s more accessible cousin). The drink is sweet, herbal and scented with citrus. Enter the Aperol Spritz Cupcake! These lovely cupcakes check all of the boxes of your favorite summer drink, plus they’re insanely easy to make.
