Make Your Own Ice Cream With Two Coffee Cans. It’s Easy to Do and Fun! Summer’s here and the ice cream man seems to have skipped your neighborhood. No worries. If you have two coffee cans (one larger and one smaller), you’re ready to make your own ice cream. This idea is pretty simple and involves something called “super-chilling.” It’s not as complicated as it sounds and is the result of an ice cube and rock-salt combination. The Recipe The Standard recipe for most ice cream is milk, sugar and a flavoring. Sometimes cream is added but it’s up to you. If you want you can even use skim-mile for a low fat version. The Concept Here’s the way it works. You need two metal coffee cans. One large and one small. An empty 3 pound and 1 pound combination of cans is perfect. Just put all of the ice cream ingredients into the smaller can, tightly affix the lid and secure the lid to the can with duct tape around the rim. In the large can, pour about an inch of ice and sprinkle a 1/8 cup of rock salt on the top. Place the smaller can in the larger can making sure there’s

enough room to secure the lid on the larger can. Pour more ice and rock salt around the small can until the larger can is filled. Affix the large lid and seal this tightly to the can with the duct tape. Now you’re ready to roll. The Process You want to roll the can on its side for about 20 minutes. You can do this by playing a game with a friend by pushing it back and forth, or simply roll it under your foot while you watch TV or chat it up with family and friends. After 20 minutes, open the larger can, remove the smaller one and open it and you’re ready to eat. A few tips Follow the recipes closely in terms of quantities. Too much or too little of any ingredient could affect the freezing. Make sure you have a good seal with the duct tape, especially on the smaller can with the ice cream ingredients. Salt and ice cream really don’t go together that well. Make sure you layer the ice and salt. The salt does not melt the ice as much as cause it to get very cold. Experiment with flavors and

ingredients like chopped fruit, nuts and chopped chocolate chunks. Before you know it, you’ll be an ice cream artisan. Here’s your secret recipes: Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream (2 Servings) Ingredients: 1 cup half and half 1 cup milk 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup sugar

-for ice and salt mix crushed ice to fill larger can 1/3 cup rock salt Directions: Pour half and half, milk, vanilla and sugar in small can. Seal with lid and duct tape and shake. Place small can in large can on 1 inch of ice and some salt and then surround with more ice and salt. Seal large can with lid and duct tape and roll back and forth for 20 minutes. Serve.

As the weather heats up, humans aren’t the only ones who start craving sweet, cold treats like ice cream and ice pops. My dog, Maggie, has long been a fan of homemade ice cream for dogs, which is made to be healthier and easier to digest than actual ice cream made for human beings. When it’s hot outside, I make her a set of these sweet treats and then give them in small amounts after a long romp around outside. I’ve perfected the recipe for my dog’s own ice cream, which I carefully designed to meet her nutritional needs without the sugar and lactose found in frozen desserts for humans. The ingredients you’ll need for homemade ice cream for dogs include one half-cup of peanut butter and one cup of unsweetened yogurt as the base. Unsweetened yogurt has very little sugar, and thanks to the probiotics (or “friendly bacteria”), it is easier to digest than milk. I also add a quarter-cup of canned pumpkin,

which helps to facilitate healthy digestion in dogs and cats, and three tablespoons of white chocolate chips, which satisfies a dog’s sweet tooth but doesn’t contain the potentially dangerous chocolate compound theobromine, found in dark and milk chocolate. I use ice pop molds for my dog’s ice cream recipes, but you can also use empty cups, hollow marrow bones, and ice cube trays. First, mix all the ingredients into one large mixing bowl. It may take a while for the mixture to homogenize, since the heavier peanut butter tends to sink to the top and the cream in the unsweetened yogurt tends to rise. You can take the shortcut by using an electric blender. If you want your mixture thicker, add in a little cornstarch a little at a time. If you want it thinner, gradually blend in a small amount of warm water. Once you’ve got everything wellblended, carefully pour the mixture into the molds, marrow bone, or ice

cube tray. Freeze it for at least five hours to get it thick and hard. You can serve these treats as everyday snacks, in the same way that you might normally use dog biscuits, or you can reserve the “ice cream” for when your dog has been running a lot in hot or warm weather. You might even consider bringing some to the dog park to share! You can modify the recipe for ice cream for dogs depending on your dog’s taste preferences. Some good add-ins for doggie ice cream include shredded carrot, apple bits, or crushed treats. There’s really no limit, but bear in mind that some common human foods are dangerous to dogs, including onions, grapes, raisins, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, avocado, and macadamia nuts. If you need any help figuring out which homemade treats to include in your pup’s diet, or balancing nutrition between treats and meals, touch base with his veterinarian for expert advice.

I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training. ~Jackie Chan The Ladera Ranch News

Care of the “Knocked-Out tooth” It’s summertime. Better weather some how makes more opportunities to knock teeth out. Here’s what to do. If a baby tooth Dr. Michael Tessier gets knocked out, there’s not much that can be done. The adult teeth will be replacing them soon anyway. There are procedures to replace avulsed (knocked out) baby teeth for parents that are interested. It’s more likely that a baby tooth will me knocked way out of alignment, like pushed back into the mouth, but, amazingly, they migrate back to where they belong without any help. When an adult tooth is knocked out, most likely a front tooth because of the shape of the root, the most important factor for healing is immediate (less than five minutes) re-implantation; holding the tooth by the enamel part-the crown, rinse it off, stick it back in the hole, then hold it there until professional help can be contacted. There’s probably already pain, and fear, and bleeding, so any additional discomfort won’t be that noticeable. The first person prepared to re-implant the tooth should do

so- don’t wait for a dentist. Immediate re-implantation is always superior to storage out of the mouth, but if immediate re-implantation is not possible, storage in the patients’ own saliva followed by transfer to cold milk will maintain the root surface cells’ ability to assist healing for up to one hour. Keep the milk (and tooth) cold by packing the milk in ice during storage. Drying of the cells on the root surface drastically reduces their ability to assist healing. Water storage damages root surface cells. Water should only be used to rinse the root before re-implantation. I saw a forty-year-old last week who’d had a tooth re-implanted after it had been knocked out when he was an adolescent, and it was still in place. So, DON’T PANIC- RINSE THE TOOTH OFF, PUT IT BACK IN THE HOLE, HOLD IT IN PLACE, THEN SEE THE DENTIST. My office is located at Oso and Marguerite Parkways, down the walk from the carwash and Starbucks. My phone number is 949-459-7212. Don’t hesitate to call if you need immediate assistance, even on the weekends. Or, call if you have any questions. It’s always easier to treat any dental problems, like toothaches, when they become an issue, rather than waiting until Monday.

SILKY, SMOOTH SOUNDS OF THE ONE-AND-ONLY KENNY G AS PACIFIC SYMPHONY’S SUMMER FESTIVAL 2014 CONTINUES Sultry, sweet sounds of saxophone superstar Kenny G mellifluously meld with the full orchestra, when Pacific Symphony delivers a jazzinfused summer evening of music, led by guest conductor Albert-George Schram. In a recording career that spans three decades and 23 albums, the Grammy Award-winning Kenny G has sold more than 75 million records worldwide (45 million in the U.S. alone) and enjoyed more than a dozen climbs to the top of Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart. By grafting elements of R&B, pop and Latin to his smooth jazz foundation, Kenny G has solidified his reputation as the premier artist in contemporary jazz. Having made his debut with Pacific Symphony in February 2013 for a romantic Valentine’s Day weekend celebration, Kenny G returns to Orange County on Saturday, Aug. 23, at 8 p.m., to perform at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine as part of Mercedes-Benz presents Summer Festival 2014. Concert tickets range from $25 (lawn seating) to $105 (orchestra seating); children under 14 are half price in most sections with the purchase of an adult ticket. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. Summer Festival 2014 is also supported by

the Orange County Register and media sponsors K-Earth 101, KPCC, KUSC and PBS SoCal. Patrons are invited to picnic prior to the concert beginning at 6 p.m. And for the over-21 crowd: the Symphony’s new Wine Club, hosted by Mercedes-Benz, with its shaded patio and stylish teak tables, is an ideal prelude to the concert. Held in the VIP club, the experience offers live music and an atmosphere that is casual and relaxed. Admission, two glasses of wine and a crackerscheese-salami-and-fruit plate are $25. Guests are welcome to bring in their own picnics as well. Additional glasses of wine or bottles are also available for purchase. But space is limited to 100 people; for information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799. The exuberant first half of the concert blasts off with Giocchino Rossini’s vigorous, swashbuckling Overture to “The Barber of Seville,” one of the most loved and bestrecognized works in the classical/ opera repertoire, thanks in part to its use in countless movies, commercials and a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The program also includes Joseph Hellmesberger’s exciting dance piece with an energetic waltz at its heart: “Danse Diabolique in D minor”; Victor Vanacore’s sizzling

mambo medley “Viva El Mambo”; the heart-thumping “Born to Hand Jive” from the hit movie “Grease”; and Jeff Tyzik’s “Hot Soul Melody,” which includes selections from “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,” “My Girl,” “Touch Me in the Morning,” “Reach Out, I’ll be there” and “Love Machine.” Kenny G, who is known for such notable favorites as “Songbird,” “Silhouette,” “Baby G,” “Midnight Motion” and “The Moment,” is a consummate musician with an unmistakable sound. You really can’t think of the saxophone without Kenny G coming to mind. The two are nearly synonymous. Not to mention,

he holds the world record for playing the longest note ever recorded on a saxophone an E-flat held for 45 minutes and 12 seconds. He began playing saxophone professionally at age 17 with Barry White’s Love Unlimited Orchestra and rose to fame in the 1980s with the release of “Duotones,” which earned him an international audience, and led to his work with superstars Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Michael Bolton and Natalie Cole. Recently, Kenny G has kept a profile in the pops industry, performing with Foster the People on Saturday Night Live and appearing in Katy Perry’s music video “Last Friday Night.”

“Marks on the Land” Exhibit at FOA SOUTH through October 10. Featuring the Aerial Photography of Tom Lamb The Festival of Arts presents foaSOUTH’s newest show “Marks on the Land: Aerial Photography by Tom Lamb.” Through his acclaimed aerial photographs with an environmental focus, longtime Festival of Arts exhibitor Tom Lamb captures stunning images that showcase an unexpected view of the land. The exhibit will run through October 10. Lamb’s introduction to the art movement known as Abstract Expressionism came while he was a graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design in the late 1970s. During that time, Lamb assisted artist Aaron Siskind, who was well known for his own abstract photographic work. While Siskind located abstraction in extreme closeups of urban elements such as the textures and layers of peeling paint, the build up of materials on billboards, and the gestures revealed in graffiti, Lamb achieves abstraction by pulling back and showing us bigger swatches of land, in color, from the top down. The lines, patterns, and gestures in these landscapes – some built and some natural – call to mind the abstract expressionist style and canvases of painters as varied as: Robert Motherwell, Paul Klee, Clyfford Still, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman and Cy Twombly. ABOUT TOM LAMB Tom Lamb is a photographer, artist, adventurer, conservationist, en¬viron¬¬mental planner and success¬ful entrepreneur. He is the founder and owner of Lamb Studio, a successful image and communica¬tions studio. Tom is a documentary photographer with a focus on the concerns for the environment, indigenous cultures and the built and natural environments. Tom holds advanced

Vocational Visions Enchanted Evening Nets Almost $90K Photos by: Barry Reid Vocational Visions’ proudly presented their 11th annual Enchanted Evening fundraiser in at the Irvine Marriott Hotel; estimate net proceeds were close to $90,000 and the local Albertsons Stores were recognized as their 2014 Employer of the Year. The theme Enchanted Evening…at the Kentucky Derby was widely supported by 300 guests donning big hats and seersucker suits with all proceeds to support the programs and services of Vocational Visions to provide vocational, economic and social services to adults with disabilities. Co-chaired by community leaders and Vocational Visions board members Hilary Hurt and Dr. Linda Albers, the lively fundraiser featured an expansive silent auction with over 125 items in addition to art pieces prepared by Vocational Visions participants. Attendees received Vocational Visions bucks to “bet” on horse races shown on screens throughout the ballroom. Master sommelier Peter Neptune served as event emcee and auctioneer. The ballroom and lobby was decorated in black and red with a life size horse, photo booth and a variety of horse race themed cut outs around the room. An evening highlight was a heartwarming dance performance by Vocational Visions participants to songs including Run for the Roses, Horse Right Here and Fugue for Tinhorns from Guys and Dolls. At the beginning of the program, Albertsons store director Tim Teahen accepted the 2014 Employer of the Year award on behalf Albertsons Stores. The chain has made a commitment to diversity by hiring Vocational Visions’ participants for long-term employment. They’ve also understood that reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are worth the investment and Vocational Visions’ participants have received numerous employee awards for their loyalty and great customer service. The partnership began over 20 years ago and Albertsons has since facilitated dozens of employment opportunities for adult with disabilities at nine stores from seven cities including Irvine, Lake Forest, Ladera Ranch, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, Dana Point and San Clemente. Community Employment Manager Roland Fernandez says, “We are grateful to Albertsons for partnering with Vocational Visions to fulfill our mission to provide the highest quality program opportunities to serve the vocational, economic, and social potential of persons with developmental and other disabilities and to promote the life-enriching potential of full community inclusion.” The live auction featured front row Angels seats, $800 toward a Carnival Cruise, an autographed Earvin “Magic” Johnson Lakers jersey, a one-week stay at a Santa Fe home, a catered five-course dinner and wine prepare by Grand Master Sommelier Peter Neptune and Alex Neptune and the grand finale prize was a trip to the races with six box seats, club house passes, meet and greet with jockeys and a behind the scenes tour. Vocational Visions has provided comprehensive vocational, economic and social services to Orange County adults with disabilities since 1974. Based in Mission Viejo, Calif., the nonprofit organization creates possibilities for men and women with disabilities by providing on and off-site job opportunities, a variety of social programs and rehabilitation and medical assistance as needed. Annually, Vocational Visions serves over 500 individuals with a wide range of developmental and other disabilities.

$1,000 Ice Cream: The Golden Opulence Sundae Is the World’s Most Expensive Ice Cream Sundae Really Worth It? To many, the idea of spending $1,000 on an ice cream sundae is completely ridiculous, or even out of the question. Who can really afford $1,000 on an ice cream sundae? At the same time, however, there are many people would tell you that the Golden Opulence Sundae which is offered at the famous Serendipity restaurant in New York City is worth every penny. So, what exactly do you get for your money when you order this oh so expensive dessert? Is it really worth it? What Comes With the Golden Opulence Sundae? There is a lot that the Golden Opulence Sundae has to offer to anyone who orders it. With five scoops of the finest Tahitian Vanilla Bean ice cream, 23 carat edible gold leaf, expensive chocolate, rare chocolate, exotic candied fruit, a dessert caviar, various types of fruit, truffles and so much more. It is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18 carat gold spoon, a mother of pearl spoon, and gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel. The Golden Opulence Sundae is by far the world’s most expensive sundae, and many do agree that it offers enough to be worth the amount of money that you would spend on it. Is the Golden Opulence Sundae

Really Worth it? Of course, some people do not believe that the Golden Opulence Sundae is really worth the money that you will spend on it. If you wanted to buy ice cream sundaes, at $10, you would be able to pay for 100 of them at the same amount of money that you will spend on the Golden Opulence Sundae. Of course, the main thrill of ordering the Golden Opulence Sundae from the Serendipity is the fact that once you have purchased it, you have order the world’s most expensive ice cream sundae. What Should You Know About the Golden Opulence Sundae? The most important thing that you need to know if you are interested in ordering the Golden Opulence Sundae, whether it is because you have $1,000 to burn or if it is because you really want to taste the world’s most expensive ice cream sundae, is that you need to let the Serendipity know. The Golden Opulence Sundae is not something which is served on a regular basis. Serendipity only serves between one to two of these ice cream sundaes a month. What this means is that they will need to know that it needs to be prepared. Giving the Serendipity at least 48 hours in advance is very important if you wish to order the Golden Opulence Sundae.

Simple twists to make summer cooking even more sensational From juicy produce to savory grilled meats, summer is the best time for tantalizing taste buds with delicious foods. This year, why not enhance traditional favorites with a few unique twists? These simple updates to classic summer dishes will have everyone raving. Grown-up cheeseburgers If you love to grill, give your cheeseburgers an upgrade. Skip bland processed cheese slices and choose a more flavorful cheese like gorgonzola, which boasts a savory, earthy taste that complements grilled beef perfectly. Look for Salemville Amish Gorgonzola at your local grocer - an award-winning cheese made in small batches by a Wisconsin Amish community. Milk comes from local farmers whose herds are handmilked twice each day to create a rich cheese free of preservatives and other chemicals. Daring desserts When it comes to creating delicious desserts for summertime gatherings, there’s no shortage of options. If you truly want to wow your guests, though, it’s time to think outside the cake box. For example, instead of store-bought popsicles, make your own healthier versions from fresh fruit and juice. Enhance your famous cheesecake recipe with gorgonzola, or use blue cheese in flan for a surprisingly tasty twist. Take your favorite cookie one step further by making cookie pops

- simply insert lollipop sticks into cookies, dip them in melted chocolate and add festive sprinkles as desired. Sweet-savory grilled fruit The season’s bounty of fruit is made even better when it’s grilled for a few minutes to bring out the extra-sweet flavors. For example, cut pears or peaches in half and grill until they’re warm. Another great way to add grilled fruit to your meal is with fruit kabobs - try pineapple, bananas, oranges, plums, apricots and more, grilling them for several minutes on skewers. Serve with a small wedge of Salemville Reserve - an extra-aged Amish blue cheese - for a unique treat that perfectly blends sweet and savory flavors. Deluxe vegetable plates Whether you grow your own or frequent the local farmers market, fresh vegetables are prevalent throughout the country during the summer months. That’s why vegetable plates are ideal for picnics and barbecues - simply cut up your favorite vegetables for a colorful display. Upgrade this summer favorite by adding a dip no one can resist. Skip store-bought varieties and make your own by mixing cottage cheese and crumbled blue cheese. Vegetables are guaranteed to be devoured. Do you have your own favorite way to enhance summer dishes with blue cheese? Enter the How Do You

Blue recipe contest by visiting www. salemville.com, and use hashtag: #HowDoYouBlue. Here are a few recipes that will inspire at your next summer gathering: Cottage Blue Dip & Dressing Ingredients: 1-1/2 cups cream-style small curd cottage cheese 1/3 cup Salemville Amish Blue cheese, crumbled 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoon onion, finely chopped 3 tablespoon cream Paprika for coloring Directions: Beat cottage cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Serve chilled with vegetables or crackers. Note: For a thinner dip or salad dressing, add more cream. Fig Creme Brulee Ingredients: 1 large black mission fig 1 teaspoon blue cheese 1/2 teaspoon raw sugar Directions: Cut fig in half. Using melon ball scoop or round spoon, remove seeds. Fill with blue cheese. Sprinkle with sugar. Caramelize sugar with torch until it has turned golden brown. Cook’s note: If you do not have a torch, put in the oven under the broiler until golden brown.

Five Tips for Safe Summer Sun By Kevin Ronneberg, M.D. Summer has arrived. As the weather heats up, it’s critical for beachgoers and outdoor fun-seekers to be sun-safe. This begins with choosing the right sunscreen to protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Equally important are these five simple tips from the Skin Cancer Foundation, which also will help you mitigate sun damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer. First, seek the shade. Simply minimizing exposure to UVA and UVB rays can go a long way toward protecting your skin. Taking a break from direct sun is especially important between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when rays are strongest. And remember, clouds don’t block UV rays. Infants under 6 months should always be kept out of the sun -- protected with clothing, an umbrella or a stroller hood. Children and adults should wear protective clothing, including wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses. Second, use a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Regardless of the season, this kind of sun protection should be used on a daily basis. Most people understand the importance of sun safety during the summer months, but many underestimate the need for year-round protection. The temperature may drop, but UV rays remains strong. And the cooler temperatures may actually prevent people from realizing the extent of the damage the sun is doing to their skin. Next year, new regulations from the Food and Drug Administration will help consumers know they’re getting the right protection by prohibiting manufactures from labeling their sunscreens as Page 14

The Ladera Ranch News

“broad spectrum” or making claims about protecting against skin cancer and aging unless they’re SPF 15 or higher. And sunscreens with lower SPF values will have to sport a warning that the product may not offer protection against the harmful effects of exposure to the sun. Third, apply 1 ounce of sunscreen to the entire body 30 minutes before going outside. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, for full SPF protection, sunscreen must be applied half an hour before sun exposure. If you are average size, you’ll need a full ounce -- or about two tablespoons -- to adequately cover your skin. Studies show that most people apply less than half that amount, losing the full benefit of the SPF protection. Reapplication is just as important as putting sunscreen on in the first place, as sunscreens tend to break down with exposure and can be rubbed off or washed off by sweat or water. So sunscreen should be applied every two hours, and immediately after swimming or a set of tennis. During a full day at the beach, one person should expect to use at least a quarter of an 8 oz. bottle of sunscreen. Fourth, do not let yourself burn. Sunburn is the most immediate and obvious sign of UV damage. When immune cells race to the injured skin site to start healing the damage, they produce the reddening and swelling. Tanning is the skin’s response to this damage and may permanently affect skin cells. While many believe a “base tan” will prevent damaging burns, that’s not the case. There is no such thing as a healthy or base tan. Finally, check your skin regularly and ask your doctor for a skin cancer exam annually. One in five

Americans will develop skin cancer. Tans and burns can be the first step. Intermittent but intense UV exposure is more closely associated with melanoma, the most deadly variety of skin cancer, than chronic sun exposure. One blistering sunburn in childhood or five in a lifetime doubles the risk of melanoma. To check yourself for signs of skin damage, inspect your skin from head to toe, looking for spots or sores that heal too slowly, new growths, and any moles or beauty marks that change in color, texture, or size. And once each year, be sure to ask your physician for a skin checkup. Sunscreens are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. They keep skin looking young and reduce the risk of many skin cancers. They must be used properly, however. These five suggestions will help keep you and your skin safe. Dr. Kevin Ronneberg is the associate medical director at Target.

Jazz Up Your Summer Ice Cream Celebrations Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, reunion or impromptu get-together, dressing up sweet scoops of ice cream makes a party easy, fun and creative. From edible ice cream cups to cones dipped in colorful sprinkles, the entertaining experts at Wilton have big ideas to get you started. One way to wow guests is by making your own, edible, individual ice cream cookie bowls and candy cups to hold those scrumptious scoops. Favorite cookie flavors become cookie bowls with the new Ice Cream Cookie Bowl Pan. Cookie bowls bake on the outside of the pan using recipes - like the Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowl - specially created for this baking application. A sugar cookie variation is available on www. wilton.com. Candy cups start with Candy Melts - versatile, creamy and easyto-melt wafers available in a variety of colors and flavors. The melted candy is brushed inside a silicone cup and refrigerated until firm. Then just unmold and fill with ice cream. For foolproof, step-by-step instructions, visit www.bakedecoratecelebrate.com. Page 16

Even the tried-and-true ice cream cone can get a new look. To jazz up a basic store-bought cone simply dip an inch or two from the top into melted candy. Then dip again or roll in colorful, crunchy sprinkles and toppings. For more summer celebration ideas or to purchase toppings, pans, Candy Melts and other supplies, visit www.wilton.com. Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowls 3 cups all-purpose flour 2/3 cup firmly-packed brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, melted 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2/3 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray outside of each bowl cavity of Ice Cream Cookie Bowl Pan with vegetable pan spray. In large bowl, combine flour, sugars, baking powder and salt; mix well. In small bowl, whisk together melted

butter, eggs and vanilla; add to dry ingredients, mixing well to form stiff dough. Mix in chocolate chips. Roll out dough on generouslyfloured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut 5-inch round circles from dough. Drape one circle over each cavity of pan, pressing to form smooth surface. Bake 12-14 minutes or until cookie cups are firm and golden brown. Cool

on pan on cooling rack 5 minutes. Loosen bottom edges of cookies from pan using small spatula. Carefully remove cookies from pan and cool completely. Wash and dry pan; repeat with remaining dough. Fill cooled cookie bowls with ice cream, pudding or fresh fruit. Makes 12 bowls
