Sponsored by: Tillamook The holiday season is in full swing. And if you haven’t planned your holiday menu yet, the clock is ticking. Whether you’re gearing up for Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving or any special holiday gathering, wow your friends and family with these show-stopping recipes. New York Times bestselling cookbook author and pie expert Erin McDowell and Ice Cream Scientist Ian Moppert join our Laura Cavanaugh to share their favorite recipes and tips for creating Instagram-worthy dishes that are sure to impress your guests. The Honey Roasted Butternut Squash Crostini is an epic flavor combination and a great way to greet your guests when they come through the door. And if we’re talking super savory sides, Tillamook Cheddar Biscuits and Pimento Mac & Cheese are crowd pleasers. The side dish will likely become a main dish with that Tillamook Cheddar. The winning secret ingredients are Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Shreds and Tillamook Extra Creamy Butter. This season Tillamook is spreading holiday cheer by the spoonful with two new Limited Edition offerings. Both the Peppermint Bark Ice Cream and the Holiday Sugar Cookie Ice Cream can be enjoyed on their own or integrated into decadent desserts. Tillamook Premium Ice Cream is made with more cream in every bite. That means it’s more indulgent, rich, creamy and smooth. Check out Erin’s showstopper cranberry cream pie and her secret to creating extraordinary desserts. “The crust is even more important than the filling,” said McDowell. “I really am so picky about the type of butter that I use. Tillamook’s Unsalted Butter is my absolute favorite for baking. It is so flaky. It’s going to make for the most tender crust you’ve ever had. And most importantly, it just tastes better. So when you bring this pie to the table this year, your guests will really be thankful.” Whether you’re capping off the holiday meal or pairing it with a pie, Moppert suggests whipping up a decadent Italian dessert like an ice cream affogato.
