Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Muffins
We love enjoying ice cream in our home, and our local grocer (HEB) has been running phenomenal sales on ice cream as the weather heats up here in Texas. I thought this would be an ideal time to experiment with some recipes that include ice cream. I am thrilled to share some of the results with you, and today’s delicious treat is Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Muffins!
Earlier this month I shared with you a similar recipe for Neapolitan Ice Cream Muffins that I hope you’ll check out too! If you enjoy these, then you’ll also be excited when I share the recipe for Butter Pecan Ice Cream Muffins next week 🙂 Be sure to subscribe via email and follow me on Facebook & Twitter so you don’t miss those!
