2. Poached Pears in Wine (Plus a Non-Alcoholic Variation) by Dinah Bucholz

The earliest recipe I could find for this gorgeous dish comes to us from the master chefs to King Richard II in a fascinating cookbook compiled in the fourteenth century.

If you’re a pecan pie person, this flavor is the best of the bunch, no jokes. If you’re feeling literal, you can serve it in a pie crust, but in a bowl does the trick too!

15. Strawberry Sorbetto Dessert (2 Ways) by Sina Mizrahi

When I first tasted Tuscanini’s Strawberry Sorbetto I fell in love with the intense berry flavor. It needed nothing; it was just the perfect dessert out of the pint. But I gave a small tune up to make it extra: some chopped pistachios for their nutty flavor and waffle cookies because, well, ice cream and waffles are BFFs. You have two ways to serve them: Sorbetto Sandwiches or mixed into the sorbet. They’re delicious both ways. Enjoy!

16. Peach and Berry Compote by Nechama Norman

This concept is genius! It’s easy to prepare, convenient, and serves nicely for any occasion.

Peanut chews are one of those foods that most people really enjoy eating. Paired with ice cream … what could be bad?! Take a look at these four different ways to serve it (also see Peanut Chew Ice Cream Slices, Peanut Chew Bowls with Ice Cream, and Peanut Chew Bars with Ice Cream in Martini Glasses). Whichever way you choose, it will definitely be your pièce de résistance!

19. Chipper Razzle Ice Cream Pie by Faigy Grossman

Peanut butter, chocolate, and salty chips? You bet! An outstanding dessert, this razzle pie has crunch and flavor that satisfies the “looking for something yummy in the freezer” feeling (if there will be any leftovers!).
