National Ice Cream Day Count Down: Treat No. 2- "The Kinnard"

There are many biblical references and asides to the land of milk and honey. National Ice Cream Day can pay homage to the biblical notion, for what could be better then ice cream with a certain wisp of honey.

This treat, "The Kinnard," has been modified to suit one of Michigan’s historic food products: cherries. This is a great summer snack for all ages and a nutritious or winter snack for die-hards:

Recipe

Black sweet cherry ice cream (Stucchi Black Cherry, Guernsey or equivalent)

Graham crackers (originally conceived as a “health food”)

Melted Mindo chocolate for dipping

Put a slab of black sweet cherry ice cream between two Graham crackers forming a sandwich. Dip one end in melted chocolate if so desired and then decide whether to eat right away, hide from the kids or put it in the freezer for easy consumption at a later date.  Just remember it’s not only what you eat, but how much that counts.
