Hope you all had a wonderful week! As usual, I'm looking forward to a semi-relaxing weekend. Although, I wish I were attending NY Fashion Week, {sipping my cosmos's and eating NY yummies}, unfortunately I will be getting caught up on chores and groceries after a long week of work. So for those of you attending all the glitz and glamour of NY fashion week here is a suitcase full of goodies I would suggest you take along. As for us ladies with previous engagements well, I leave you with a nice ice cream dessert to ease the pain. Enjoy!

Bring the milk, cream, vanilla bean, and half the sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from the heat, cover, and allow to steep for 1 hour.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining sugar until smooth and slightly thickened. Gradually whisk 1⁄3 of the liquid into the yolks, return this mixture to the saucepan, and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until it coats the back of the spoon. Strain this custard into a container, and chill in an ice bath. When the custard has cooled, cover it, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Transfer to an ice-cream machine, and process according to directions.

Toasted-Almond Sablé
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Beat together the sugar, butter, and salt in a mixer fitted with a paddle. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans into the creamed butter.
Add 2 cups of the chopped almonds, then mix in the cake flour until well combined. Roll this sablé dough into a 3-inch-diameter log, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 hours. Cut the log into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Place these sablé cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake until golden brown, about 8 to10 minutes. Cool the sablés on the sheet.
Chocolate Liquid Crunch
Melt the two chocolates together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, add coconut oil, and heat until dissolved. Keep the liquid lukewarm until ready to pour over the ice cream.

This looks so appetizing! I make vanilla gelato and sablés, and even the stracciatelli, but not poured chocolate to blanket the scoop of ice cream. Looks yum!
