Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Little bits of crystallized ginger are mixed into a creamy vanilla-flavored homemade ice cream.
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup chopped crystallized ginger
Make sure that the heavy cream and milk are very cold before you begin.
Combine the cream, milk, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add this mixture to your ice cream machine, and follow the manufacturer's instructions. When you are 1-2 minutes from removing the ice cream from the machine, add the chopped crystallized ginger and allow the machine to incorporate the ginger evenly.
Transfer the ice cream to a container and freeze until firm.
Serve this ice cream on top of almost any fruit pie or tart, ranging from apples to apricots.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

The ginger flavor is subtle since is in chopped up bits instead of being part of the ice cream base. It was very good. The ginger stays nice and soft so you're not biting into frozen bits.
