Today we're finally putting a dent in my ice cream freezer. A triple-Aldi post, two seasonal novelties and a bonus "Super premium" pint. Let's get to scoopin'!
First up, Shamrock Swirl - Mint ice cream with yellow fudge chips & Choco-cookie crumb swirl
Wanna know something crazy? I've been counting my calories. (Don't worry, this isn't going to become a diet blog or anything.)
It's been a very eyeopening experience. For example, I normally drink a ton of orange juice every weekend, because that's healthy, right? Welp, my large 16 oz. glass of OJ clocks in at over 236 calories! It's nuts. That being said, this one 12 oz. bottle or Irish Cream Soda? 210 Calories! Nearly twice the calories found in a 12 oz. can of Coke.
Are those calories worth it? We shall see...
Want something sweet instead? Check out last year's post where I shared my own recipe for Irish Potato Cupcakes
This is a recipe I have been making since 2009. I originally whipped these up for an Art Students League bake-sale, and they were such a hit that I've been making them every year since. I think I might have been the first person to make Irish Potato themed cupcakes and post them to the web, since I couldn't find any other recipe for these online in 2009, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, there seem to be a few variations out there now, but mine is still a bit different.
So, here it (finally) is! My Irish Potato Cupcake Recipe.
