Collin Street Bakery Deep Dish Pecan Pie with Homemade No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream

Perfect for summer guests or weekend entertaining, this Homemade No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream is easy to make ahead, freeze, and serve with a Collin Street Deep Dish Pecan Pie.

When my friends, Will and his wife Michelle asked if they could send me a Collin Street Bakery Deep Dish Pecan Pie, all the way from Texas, how could I say no? I mean, some of the best food I’ve ever eaten was in Austin, a few years ago. So having a fresh-baked pie sounded very promising.

I was also excited to host a Summer Dessert Party and serve this fresh-baked pie with Homemade No-Churn Vanilla Ice Cream. This ice cream is a simple recipe, easy to make ahead and freeze, then pull out of the freezer right before serving.

Dessert and coffee party.

Also, with an old-fashioned approach, we decided to serve coffee. Decaf and regular, it was a very sweet summer dessert party, with pie and coffee.

Sort of the way my parents used to entertain.

There’s something special about they way our folks entertained. I think back then, it was just more simple.

Oh, and a simple entertaining TIP: Place ice cubes in a bowl, then scoop the ice cream so guests can easily grab a scoop to go on their pie! Easy-peasy! (more…)
