One-Step No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream
I was watching an episode of Nigellissima, which is a Nigella Lawson cooking show, and she made this One-Step No-Churn Coffee Ice Cream. It's a simple and delicious dessert that is made without an ice cream machine. It has just four ingredients: heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, instant espresso powder, and espresso liqueur. The heavy cream is whipped until soft peaks form, then the condensed milk, espresso powder, and espresso liqueur are folded in. The mixture is then frozen for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
The key to making this ice cream is to whip the heavy cream until it is just stiff enough to hold its shape. Overwhipping the cream will make it grainy. The espresso powder and espresso liqueur give the ice cream a rich coffee flavor.

Creamy Pea Salad with Bacon
Frozen green peas, which are picked and frozen at their peak ripeness, are almost always better than fresh peas. This Creamy pea salad with bacon is a classic American side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is made with frozen peas, bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion, and a creamy dressing made from sour cream, mayonnaise, and vinegar. The salad is typically chilled before serving, which allows the flavors to meld together.
