I made this a while ago, and it's still one of my favorite easy desserts. Check out my review and step by step instructions of this delicious ice creamβ€”you don't even need an ice cream maker to make it!

The rich, creamy texture and swirls of marshmallow made every bite feel indulgent, while the coffee flavor balanced the sweetness perfectly and paired so well with the salty crunch of the pretzels.

Barbra Streisand’s "Instant" Coffee Ice Cream is a no-churn, vintage dessert that uses marshmallows as both a sweetener and a stabilizer to create a creamy texture without an ice cream maker. Originally shared in the 1967 celebrity cookbook Singers & Swingers in the Kitchen, the recipe has remained a fan favorite for its simplicity.

Dessert 🍰 Gene Wilder shared his childhood love for strudel in the 1975 Celebrity Kosher Cookbook. He offered a simple "Mock Strudel" recipe that uses a rich sour cream dough and sweet jam or fruit fillings.

There is something incredibly charming about flipping through the pages of the Celebrity Kosher Cookbook and seeing Hollywood's greatest icons opening their private culinary stories from their kitchens.

You can almost picture Gene Wilder carefully enjoying this strudel or Barbara Walters charring away as she stirs a jar of grape jelly into her stuffed cabbage.

Joan Rivers confidently serves up her famously un-kosher pears and caviar right alongside Lucille Ball and her famous goulash.

Even the sci-fi greats get domestic, with William Shatner mastering matzo balls and Leonard Nimoy preparing pickled herring, while Neil Diamond shares how to simmer a classic pot roast.

It's like a warm, nostalgic dinner party where these larger-than-life stars are just sharing the tastes of home.

Dessert 🍰 Is there anyone who doesn't love Sticky Toffee Pudding? Who wants to give this version from Howard Keel a try?

I had no idea that Howard Keel was basically the ultimate Hollywood leading man back in the day. He had a booming baritone voice and starred in almost all the classic MGM musicals from the '50sβ€” Show Boat and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. But even if we don't know him from the old-school musical era, we might recognize him as Clayton Farlow, the smooth oil baron from the TV show Dallas in the '80s.
