My husband tried an experiment last weekend: homemade Eskimo bars. A looooooonnnnng process! First the vanilla ice cream (that alone takes him two days), then the brownie base, then freezing the two together, then the dipping in chocolate. That’s the part I hung around for.
Getting the brownie/ice cream out of pan. Then the Ice Cream Maker has to measure. By the way, he works in finance and accounting.
Then they have to freeze again before the dipping.
And here they are! DELICIOUS! Not sure they will be rolling off the assembly line anytime soon, but what a treat!

Home made Eskimo Bars! What a wonderful treat that must be. My mouth is watering excessively!
Unfortunately, I have been gluten-free and dairy-free for about a year, and would not be able to partake, but it doesn’t stop me from wishing.
Thanks for sharing your hubby’s wonderful talent in the kitchen.

Oh Shirley…you’re nice to say that when you can’t partake! So glad there are options for non-gluten. Seems like many of my friends are needing to avoid gluten products. They feel so much better that it’s worth it. Hard, though!
Would love to get the recipe for Eskimo Pies…
Helen–
I think he patched recipes together–he already had a vanilla ice cream recipe and he found a brownie recipe, then studied tempering chocolate. I’ll ask and get back to you. Would you mind e-mailing me your addy? Mine is suzanne@suzannewoodsfisher.com
Your husband is a dandy with his talents in the kitchen!
My 8-year-old has asked me to make an ice cream cake for her birthday treat. I’ve been brainstorming trying to figure out something that a not so creative cook like me could make. I think the solution may be in going small. Thanks for the idea.
Angela–good thinking! Send me a pix with your creation!
I expect to have these waiting for me when I arrive home next week!
Not sure there will be any left! But I bet you can talk Dad into another batch.
He is, Melanie! He’s also taking over my kitchen with his ice cream implements. Every overhead cupboard has been claimed!
