The Happy Endings Cookbook

Book excerpt: For the first time, dessert chef and Happy Endings founder, Terri Mercieca, lets us in on the magic behind their most sought-after ice creams and complementary puddings to give you the tools to create your own versions of their beloved ice-cream sandwiches and desserts that dreams are made of. Baking might get all the love right now, but it's time that ice cream claimed its crown as the ruler of desserts... For Terri, ice cream simultaneously has the power to conjure childhood memories and deliver a taste explosion that stops you in your tracks and floods you with sensory delight. It can offer comfort in both our happiest and saddest moments - she'd even go so far as to say it can be medicinal. This seemingly simple treat is a result of some of the most complex material science, but this book will be your trusted guide, walking you through the tips, tricks, and techniques to make your own magic, at home. And just like they do at Happy Endings, Terri will show you how to achieve the most moreish and well-balanced dessert with just the right bite. The Happy Endings Cookbook gives you a full repertoire of recipes including all the elements you could ever need to build your own version of their signature ice-cream sandwiches, alongside impressive sundaes, classic puddings, and tantalizing tarts. It's time to lift the lid off ice cream and rediscover the joy it can bring to all of us.
