Brownie  A la mode

A brownie topped with delicious vanilla ice cream doesn’t get any better than this.  On oldie but goodie, Brownie A la mode will forever be a go-to treat no matter which season we’re in.  The decadent chocolate taste of a nice warm fudge brownie topped with a smooth soft taste of ice cream drizzled with fudge syrup makes our taste buds happy.  Whether you’re making it from scratch or short for time and using brownie mix it’s sure to be a delicious summer dessert.

A summer dessert for adults only

We can’t let kids have all the goodies when it comes to delicious desserts.  The 21- and up crowd deserve some too.  Who says it always has to be chewed! Desserts can be drunk as well.  A twist on pineapple upside-down cake, the pineapple upside-down cocktail looks so delicious my mouth waters when saying it.  The perfect drink for a hot summer day.  Besides pineapple, all you need are cake-flavored or vanilla vodka, amaretto, lime juice, and grenadine.
