Vendor Profile: H2O Sushi

H2O Restaurant and Sushi Bar is an eclectic mix of traditional sushi style and modern flavor combinations.  While the menu boasts customary sushi bar items like sashimi, nigiri, and maki-rolls, at the market you will find a tantalizing selection of homemade ice creams and other desserts.  Pastry chef and co-owner Nicole Ankeny-Anderson brings creative pairings and unique flavors to (arguably) the most popular dessert in America.  Stop by for a pint of Roasted Jalapeno or Curry ice cream, Cucumber Tarragon sorbet or one H2O's yummy gluten free treats.

To learn more about H2O Sushi, stop by their booth at the market, or visit their website at www.h2osushibar.com.
Malt Shop Ice Cream Pie

Think of this no-cook pie as a deconstructed hot fudge sundae in an ice cream cone.  Crushed cones form the crust, cradling the malt-flavored ice cream and toppings.

Ingredients:
2  tablespoons  honey
2  tablespoons  butter, melted
12  sugar cones, crushed (about 2 cups)
2  cups  strawberry ice cream, softened
1/4  cup  malted milk powder, divided
1/2  cup  strawberry topping
2  cups  vanilla ice cream, softened
1/2  cup  fat-free hot fudge topping
1 1/4  cups  canned whipped light cream (such as Reddi-wip)

Editor's note: Experiment with your favorite ice creams and toppings.  Share your winning combinations on the BRFM facebook page.

Directions:
Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring well. Firmly press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm.

Place softened strawberry ice cream and 2 tablespoons milk powder in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Spoon mixture evenly into crust; spread with strawberry topping. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm.

Place softened vanilla ice cream and remaining 2 tablespoons milk powder in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over strawberry topping. Cover and freeze 4 hours or until firm. Top with hot fudge and whipped cream just before serving.
