This post is actually going to start off more depressing than the title would have you know, so just be warned. The title is actually referring to the beauteous… um… beauty… of this salty, buttery ice cream that reminds you of dipping popcorn into your soft serve at the movies.
OH YEAH BABY! Sorry did I just foodgasm too loud for polite society? 😛
It is creamy and delicious, with a lot of different ways of changing it up for an even more fun treat. Keep reading to see more 🙂
Can I just rewind the clock and take it back to Christmas time of 2014? Can I take you back to reminisce about all that overeating and indulgent gift giving we all participated in for this post?
I was meant to do this post nice and close to New Years but then I saw running behind schedule, then I went to the Gold Coast and well… now I think I am on track!
I know it is not going to be a hardship or anything for you to turn back time again! Your Instagrams totally showed me how much fun you all were having!
And maybe… you saw mine?
Guys, it is a bittersweet time! After sharing with you wonderful salad recipes and no-bake lemon bars, the #undergradstudentbloggers link up party initiated by Ala @Wallflour Girl is finally coming to a close!
You have read about how we never have enough to eat, how we never have time to do… well.. anything… and now? How we waste all the time that we do have.
Going out with a bang mes cheris, welcome to the final segment magnifying in on the lives of undergrad/grad university students all over the world! Remember to check out all the links after reading for the ultimate student blogger series experience 🙂
Dear Kids Of All Ages,
When you come home from school, is this what you hear?
“Drink your milk. Eat celery sticks. Eat fruit!”
Isn’t this what you would like to hear instead?
Hi guys! So just the other day I was admiring –
– *thwack*
Ahem… anyways, as I was saying, I saw the cutest little –
-*grunt*
Ok. ANYWAYS, I saw the cutest dress in the window. It was black, sleeveless and –
– *crowd cheering*
OH. MY. GOD. Can you just stop with these ridiculous interrup-
ANZAC – The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
Respected, admired and commemorated for their efforts in saving their nations and allowing the freedom in which we live today.
Lest we forget.

Bonjour mes cheris, get excited for me! After I finish these exams I am wading through right now, half of year 12 will be forever finished and over with! YAY!
Mais non, focus, FOCUS! It certainly is not over yet no matter how much I dream about year 12 formal. Ah, c’est la vie!
Anyhow, while I am not here to give you recipes, tips, tricks and well, my blog, I have some pretty fan-friggin-tastic fabulous chefs lined up to do so instead! A whole range of dishes for you to enjoy while I am on this undesired break 
 – You won’t even notice my absence I promise!
See you soon for the April holidays and wishing you all a marvelous Easter break! Promise me you will chow down on what that Easter Bunny brings you/your chocolate loot stashed in the bottom of your drawer – Yes, I am on to you all

Getting down and healthy seems to be the newest trend these days, keeping that stomach trim and those intestines fresh and detoxed now and again. I am all for getting on this though I prefer my sweets with real butter and real sugar, with my usual return being more exercise.Â
I think I may have found someone to convert me. Meet Bek from one very healthy, Aussie blog, Crave! 😀 – She has goals to maintain, a fitness regime BUT makes some out of this world food without the usual fatty ingredients!
Why am I even talking? See for yourself with her healthified and incredible rendition of Rocky Road Ice Cream!Â
****************************************************************
Hey guys! Are you craving something cold, icey, satisfying, sweet..but healthy? Well ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you that you CAN have it all.
But before I fulfil your wildest dreams let me introduce myself- My name is Bek and I’m behind the blog Crave!
Ok so guess what guys, it’s guest-post request time!!! So next term are my half yearlies and being in year 12, they will be more than incredibly hard so I have to organise my guest posts now so they can keep my blog semi-going during said awful period 😉
Here are the details:
So if you can, please contact me asap and once I have all future guest posters, I promise to send out a confirmation email 😀 Thank you!
Now that business out of the way, please enjoy the recipe to come!

Maybe because of my recent trip to India, but I recently realised that I may not have made any ice cream. And we are halfway into the beautiful season of summer with high temperatures, pools and shorts.
You may call me crazy, actually throw rotten tomatoes at me and look at me with disgust. Because summer and ice cream are as inseparable as Jekyll & Hyde. Though ice cream is Hyde because it is the evil – the beautiful, addictive, rich, creamy evil for the hips, thighs and stomach. Oh well, good with the bad ay?
May I just say though, that the recipe I am about to give to you more than makes up for the time lost? I hope I am not being presumptuous… Haha, who am I kidding, I know I am not being presumptuous 😀
Merry Christmas my friends, can you all believe the holiday season everyone dreams about is finally here for us 😀 😀 😀 😀
I hope you are all celebrating with family friends this joyous occasion of 2012, with lots of wonderful festivities, food and laughter 🙂
I wish I could be here with you all, and I promise to celebrate with you all belatedly but right now, I am with my family in India as I should be during this fabulous time 🙂
But no fear, no fear, I have some incredible guestposts lined up for you all and I hope each and every one brings a smile to your faces like they did mine – what else is Christmas and New Years about if not grinning? 😀
Happy Holidays!!!
P.S. I will not be commenting on ANY blogs for approximately 2 weeks so please do not think I have forgotten about anyone, I will be back on task straight after holidays 🙂

And that’s it… my India adventure is over now, and the new year has begun, ready for me to hit my new adventure… also called my bed *YAWNS* 😉 – but I intend to share absolutely everything with you in a couple of days time so stay tuned and cool if you can…
So while I am cooling my heels from jetlag (and I am seriously exhausted and now heated), Miss Jenny from the fantastic blog, Ichigo Shortcake has been kind enough to guest post for today 😀
Have you ever visited her blog? She is one of the most talented bloggers I know, with such a flair and passion for food and photography. Seriously, I consider it an honour that she is here today 🙂
Without further ado, please welcome one of my inspirational blogger buddies 😀
Ok, yes, it is so true, Father’s Day happened very much early September and yes, I am guilty of being late again but honestly can you blame me considering it was the weekend before my 2 hour maths exam? Haha nope didn’t think so 😉
This Father’s Day (2 weeks perhaps too late but still!), I decided to bake 2 pies in one oven (I hate the idea of killing two birds, I mean seriously, which sadist made that up? :P) and make not pies at all but ice cream 😀
Go Bake Yourself
