Imagine rich, velvety chocolate pudding in less than ten minutes-without turning on the stove or dirtying a single bowl or saucepan, other than the canister of a high-horsepower blender. Imagine a chocolate sheet cake with a creamy icing, made in minutes (and from scratch!) without much more work than flipping a switch. Imagine ice cream. Imagine gingerbread. Imagine the best buttermilk waffles ever. Now imagine one more thing: all of the baked treats are (shh-don't tell your family) whole-grain desserts because you grind your own flour right in the blender's canister before you add the other ingredients. These 140+ original, quick, and easy recipes for ice creams, puddings, cream pies, ice box cakes, layer cakes, brownies, muffins, scones, and even pancakes and waffles are a revolution. This is dessert-making unlike anything before. This is a whole new way to think about a turbo blender. And you thought you only bought it for smoothies!
