Usually, the sound of the apartment door opening would be enough to draw your attention away from what you were doing and greet Quinn with a kiss at the door. Although with the music in the background, the consistent buzz of the stand mixer and the kitchen fan going, you didn't register it.

The first thing Quinn noticed was the smell. It smelt like sweet heaven. Cookies, maybe..? The second thing he noticed was all the different noises. The kitchen fan, the music, a weird buzzing, and what sounded like you mixing something in a metal bowl.

Quinn toed off his shoes, hung up his keys, and peaked into the kitchen cautiously. You were indeed mixing something in a metal bowl. That's when Quinn noticed the absolute massive amount of cookies spread out on the kitchen island. There must've been at least five different kinds.

He turned off the music, and as soon as he did, you whipped around and crashed into his chest, not expecting him to be so close. He grabbed your arms to stop you from stumbling backward.

"Hi," he smiles fondly, pecking you on the forehead.

"Hello," you grin, bumping your head against his chest in greeting.

"Whats all this?" He asks as you wriggle out of his arms to go back to mixing what Quinn assumes is icing or filling of some kind.

"I was stressed," you shrug, as if that explained it.

Quinn looks at you with a raised brow. He sits on the bar stool, shrugging off his suit jacket, loosening his tie and undoing the top few buttons of his shirt "That doesn't explain why it looks like a bakery threw up in our kitchen." He says, plucking a cookie off the plate.

He bites into it and resists the urge to moan out loud. It was still warm from the oven, and the chocolate was warm and melty. On the second bite, he actually moaned out loud because holy shit, there was caramel in the middle.

"You like it?" You giggle

"Mhmm," Quinn mumbles around a mouthful of cookie. You watch him lick chocolate off his thumb, and he gives you a wink that has you blushing.

"You still never answered my question, Love," Quinn says, eyes roaming to the next cookie he wanted to try.

"You've never heard of stress baking?" You ask, holding out a spoon of what looks like raspberry mush for him to try. He leans over the counter and lets you feed him. He smacks his lips together, making a sour face, and you laugh.

"Never in my life, but I think I like the concept." He says, snatching what looks like a white macadamia nut cookie off a cooling rack. "But still, what are we gonna do with all of these? There's no way we can eat this much cookies between the two of us. There must be at least five dozen!"

"Probably closer to eight dozen," you say sheepishly. As if on cue, the oven timer beeps. You don the oven mitts and pull another tray of cookies out of the oven.

Quinns eyes widen, "That's like...ninety-six cookies"

"One hundred and four actually"

"What? No? Eight by twelve -"

"Thirteen," you interrupt

"Love, a dozen is twelve." Quinn says, watching as you mix the raspberry lemon jam thing into cookie, another batch of cookie dough.

"A bakers dozen is thirteen." Quinn's eyes go wide.

"Damn. I don't know if I should be concerned about what's causing you so much stress or if I should start stressing you out once in a while for the sake of some dessert." He jokes.

"Oh honey, you don't have to stress me out, to bake for you. I will bake you whatever you want whenever you want. All you gotta do is ask." You pause in thought for a moment "and maybe fuck me" you add with a mischievous grin.

Quinn grins leaning over the counter "baby i'll fuck you whenever you want, wherever you want, however you want, all you gotta do is ask."

You roll your eyes at him, unable to keep the smile off your face. "You wanna lick the spoon?" You ask, holding the jam spoon out to him.

"I wanna lick you," he grins, closing his lips over the spoon. A blush instantly rises to your cheeks, and you flick the end of the spoon that hangs out of his mouth. He groans as it clangs against his teeth, dropping it onto the counter as you laugh at him.

"Go change and come help me," you say, leaning over the counter to kiss him. He kisses you back happily "yes chef" he murmers against your lips.

He kisses you one more time before disappearing into the bedroom to change. He comes back out dressed in a black henly and grey sweats, with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows.

If you hadn't just made over one hundred cookies, you'd be having Quinn as your snack because holy shit did he look fine. Damn you were lucky to have him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Quinn asks a little self conscious, as he dons the apron you hand him.

"I'm just thinking about how I'm so lucky to have you." You smile, standing on your tip toes to press a kiss to his lips. He wraps an arm around you, not letting you pull away. He tastes like raspberry. 

"I love you Y/n" he murmers against your lips with a grin.

"I love you too," you say, bumping your hip against his, "come on, these cookies aren't gonna shape themselves"

"So bossy." he chuckles, getting to work beside you. He stands close enough so that your hips and arms are brushing against each other as you work.

After a few hours, a flour fight, a couple dozen more cookies, a thorough scrubbing of the kitchen and a shower, you and Quinn lay on the couch with a half eaten plate of cookies infront of you.

"Y/n love, what are we gonna do with a hundred cookies?"

You sigh. That was a problem you'd been trying to solve for the past while. You couldn't very well throw them out. "Could we give them to the team?"

Quinn taps his chin in thought, "I don't want them to know how good of a baker my girl is, or they might try to steal you from me"

"Don't worry, they couldn't take me from you if they tried." You smile, pressing a kiss to chin,"but seriously, can we give them to the team?"

Quinn sighs dramatically. "Yes, I suppose we can. They are gonna have to do extra laps for them, though"

"Yay!" You jump up from the couch, dragging Quinn with you, to help box up all the cookies for him to take to practice later. After boxing up all the cookies and helping Quinn take them to his car, you kiss him goodbye and reluctantly go back to your studying.

As soon as you open your laptop, you sigh, remembering why you decided to bake a hundred cookies instead of work on this stupid shit. You text Quinn to have a good practice, and with that, you get back to work.

[just-looking-for-stars]

a bit of advice:

order dessert before dinner whenever you can. get the really rich option, the oreo cheesecake or chocolate mouse. lick warm, melty whipped cream off the backside of your spoon, scoop the chocolate clean off the plate, sit back and sigh and lament that you might have not saved enough room for dinner, without an ounce of regret, and then go on to finish the bread and oil and your entire bowl of pasta too. look utterly confused anytime anyone brings up their new diet, or how they need to work out before dinner, or that they are just soooo bloated, or how they just need to lose that last 5 pounds. act as if it is the most absurd thing you have heard that someone would even consider cutting calories or passing on warm cookies fresh out of the oven or ignoring the pleasure of eating a whole bag of pink starbursts in one sitting. picture yourself at age three, often. think about a time before dance classes or diet culture or tiny runway models or tumblr of 2012 got it’s hands on you. remember the way your belly rolls looked extra cute in your purple butterfly swimsuit with watermelon juice covering your sticky salt water fingers, braids wildly unkempt from summertime play (and then remember that nothing has changed with age except that now you have a blue butterfly swimsuit instead of purple). and when you can’t show up for yourself to feed this adult body that has to face the world, feed yourself at three years old, giggly and chubby, sweet talking in hopes for a second popsicle. let them know that they can have three popsicles if they want, and that tonight, we will even order our dessert before dinner.

Fluffcember Day Seventeen: Snowed In

A/N: Prompt list is by @fluff-cember! Written in headcanon format. Comments and reblogs are deeply appreciated but not necessary!

Warnings: None! Pure fluff!

🎄 "Oh–" They look at the door shaped imprint left in the snow as soon as it swings open.

🕊️ "Hm?" You look over at them.

🪽 It seems the two of you are snowed in for the foreseeable future.

⛄️ "Can't you drill through snow?" You ask.

❄️ "I could... but... I left it at the base." They shut the door again.

☕️ "Well... we still have power! So that's a plus!" You try to stay positive.

🍪 "We're going to have to huddle together for warmth!" They feign dismay. "It's horrible!"

🎁 You can't stop yourself from giggling at their dramatic expression.

💫 "Didn't know my cuddles were that bad." You're instantly wrapped in a hug and pushed down onto the couch.

🔔 "They're AWFUL. They STINK!" They joke, pressing smooches to your face as you continue giggling.

🎄 They nestle into you further and pepper you with tiny kisses wherever their lips can reach, making you kick your feet in response.

🕊️ "Okay! Okay! I get it!" You playfully try to push them off to no avail.

🪽 You feel tears forming in your eyes as they continue showering you in nonstop affection.

⛄️ Eventually, you have to pull away to get a breath of air and wipe down your wet face.

❄️ "Why don't you go do something useful, like make us some hot cocoa?" You lightheartedly poke them.

☕️ They lean upwards and their gaze casts over to the fireplace– it hasn't been used since last year, and now seems like the perfect time.

🍪 They hop up from their place next to you, wander down into the basement and collect a few piles of firewood before bringing them back up to the living room.

🎁 "I have a better idea!" They grin as they place the logs inside the fireplace chamber.

💫 "Oh! That's brilliant, actually!" You compliment their quick thinking.

🔔 They light a match and casually toss it amongst the firewood before turning and stoking it every so often.

🎄 It isn't long before it roars to life and fills the room with a near unbearable sense of warmth.

🕊️ At least you two stand no chance of freezing anytime soon.

🪽 You warm your cold hands in front of the blaze as they wander off into the kitchen next.

⛄️ They find the leftover bag of marshmallows sitting next to a pack of graham crackers.

❄️ Mexican chocolate bars sent to them by their grandmother also lay nearby, and they snatch those up for snacking as well.

☕️ Lastly, they grab two metal sticks to roast everything on.

🍪 "S'mores time!" They grin.

🎁 "We already made s'mores this month, though." You point out.

💫 "Is there a limit to how many s'mores a person can make?" They set down the ingredients on the coffee table.

🔔 They then grab the newspaper from yesterday and set it carefully on the floor in front of the fireplace to prevent marshmallow goop from dripping everywhere.

🎄 "Well, no, I suppose not." You grab two pieces of graham crackers and break off a piece of chocolate.

🕊️ The two of you stick a marshmallow on top of the steel sticks and gently turn them over the fireplace for a few minutes to get nice and melty.

🪽 "Don't burn your mouth like you did last time!" You warn them.

⛄️ "Believe me, I won't." They remember the awful sensation quite clearly.

❄️ Outside, the wind howls and whips powdered snow around with brutal force.

☕️ The power flickers momentarily. Yet, you don't mind in the slightest.

🍪 You allow the marshmallow to cool down before layering it between two crackers and your piece of chocolate.

🎁 It all melts together relatively quick, and you give it a quick blow to make sure it's cool enough to eat before swallowing it in less than ten bites.

💫 Likewise, theirs is also gone in under a minute.

🔔 They snuggle up to you after cleaning their fingers and hold you close for warmth.

🎄 You ruffle their espresso colored curls as they relax into you without a care in the world.

🕊️ Neither of you say anything for a while. You both simply enjoy the warmth from each other and the cozy fireplace nearby, sometimes exchanging kisses and giggles.

🪽 The sun has already set for the day. Nighttime gently descends upon the world and nature wraps you all in a blanket of freshly fallen snow.

⛄️ The power still threatens to give at any moment– but the fireplace gives off ample amounts of heat and light for the time being.

❄️ Your hand intertwines with theirs. They rub the top of your hand with their thumb, pressing their nose to yours and rubbing it softly.

☕️ "If the power does go out, is your phone fully charged?" You ask after they pull away.

🍪 "88%. I don't mind not using it for a while, though." They reply.

🎁 You definitely couldn't agree more.

💫 As long as you had each other, then that was more than enough.

🔔 ... and maybe some s'mores as well.

I made the melting chocolate cakes again thanks to the recipe that @starlitangels shared a long way back. 💖🫂💫

I've made this twice before for a single portion, so this is my first time making it for four as instructed.

This time we whipped the eggs and sugar to give us LOTS of volume, which made it a very light dessert, but sadly this came at the cost of the melty centre... whoops 😂 and also cause there to be too much filling for the ramekin dishes, double whoops 🤣 so we have 3 smaller ones as extra.

As a further experiment of sorts (because we are all about trial and error in this house), we put the extras in the fridge to see how that affects the mixture and how it bakes tomorrow.

[mariacallous]

I was the only person in Miss Duckler’s kindergarten class without a sibling. I had wished so long for a sister. But I had also wished on a star for a Baby Alive doll, and that never came true. So when my Aunt Jeannie picked me up from school and shared the birth of my sister April, I couldn’t really believe it. I started cheering, and skipping in circles. “I have a sister, I have a sister!”

As we drove off in her silver El Dorado Cadillac, I was dying with anticipation. I wanted to see what April looked like, hold her, and be one of the first voices she heard. Breaking the news that we would have to wait till morning before we could go to the hospital, Jeannie pulled out a bag of her just baked chocolate chip mandel bread. “They’re still warm,” she said, trying to comfort me. 

Biting into the heavenly biscuits, still warm, with puddles of melted chocolate, my mood lifted.

When we arrived at her house, she led me to her secret freezer—“The Just In Case.” The just in case was hidden in the back of the basement and it was only to be opened on very, very special occasions. It was stocked with decorative cookies and cakes that we feasted on. When my belly was full, she taught me how to measure, whip, and separate eggs so we could re-stock for future festivities.

She also taught me the magic of transforming recipes using swaps from her bag of tricks, even though I never saw an actual bag. “If you are missing a couple of ingredients and can’t get to the store, or if you wanted to lighten the sugar, butter or dairy content in a recipe to make it a little healthier and a little more waistline friendly, I have all the tricks!” my aunt boasted. When I left Aunt Jeannie’s house, I not only had a new baby sister, but several baking secrets—many of which were top secret and could be used for baking desserts on nights that meat was served.

(weird ask game) 52, 73, 96?

52. My favorite font is calibri. Not really because of looks but because calibri would make a cool name for an oc! My second favorite would be any variation of the windings/dingbat font :)

73. Hmm… I got a few answers to this! Number 1 would be watermelon and whipped cream. Sounds weird, but I tried it once and it tasted nice and sweet! Number 2 would be melty cheese and chocolate. Literally an awesome flavor combo.

96. My desktop(iPad) background is this screenshot from the Project Diva opening :)

I remember you said something in tags a long time ago about how it’s more efficient to order bigger pizzas due to how they do sizes, and I’ve lived my life by that ever since.

Omg yaaay I love to hear that lolol

So so glad my random food knowledge has come in handy! (Via more pizza yahooo!!) I'm sure the pizza places you order from appreciate your consistency

Here's some more of my favorite food tips to give out that no one asked for UwU

- if you cut spicy peppers, rub a pea-worth of neutral oil (canola) on your hands, then just as much dish soap before actually washing your hands w water. The capsaicin binds w the oil and comes off easier!

- if youre making your own spaghetti/tomato based pasta but don't wanna add too much sugar, you can let your sauce simmer with big slivers of orange peels to help sweeten it! The orange works well against the spices. (A splash of orange juice also rly boosts the flavors in banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and even tomato soup!)

- a little pinch of lemon zest in garlic butter, specifically for garlic bread, is an absolute game changer

Actually maybe I should provide more food ordering tips, so

- for a cheaper pumpkin spice latte dupe at starbux, order a blonde roast coffee w cream/milk of choice, and two pumps of the pumpkin syrup

- instead of a big Mac, order a mcdouble with bigmac sauce and lettuce. You'll miss the middle bun, its otherwise the same for cheaper.

- for McDougal again, if you're gonna get a quarter pounder, order it first so the grillcooks can toss it on right away; they're typically made to order cuz they don't sit well (smallify under their own weight coupled w the heat lamps, so they're rarely made beforehand)

Here's more pizza stuff courtesy of my partner from their pizza manager days:

- pizza actually freezes really well! Order extra and freeze it, heat it up in the oven 350 for about 8min for a whole pizza

- you can ask for your pizza well done if you want your cheese golden instead of just melty

-if they have fresh parm, ask for it to be added AFTER the bake, else it just blends into the mozzarella (unless that's how you like it, but you're missing out on richer parm flavor)

- if you order spinach, ask them to put it between the sauce and the cheese- under the cheese specifically, and it won't burn during the bake.

And lastly, my ultimate fastfood wisdom:

How to make Wendy's frosty:

- 14oz sweetened condensed milk

- 8oz cool whip, still firm/cold

- 8cups or half gal 1% chocolate milk

- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Blend together till smooth and freeze for about 4hrs

You'll likely wanna blend in two batches since most blenders only hold about 8 cups to begin with, but there ya go! :3

National Toasted Marshmallow Day

Picture this: a warm, crackling fire, the cool night air, and a deliciously sweet aroma that fills your senses.

Most people have fond memories of childhood, sat by a roaring campfire toasting marshmallows on wooden sticks… Yum! National Toasted Marshmallow Day is a chance to relive those memories, and for people who’ve never experienced toasting marshmallows to find out what all the fuss is about.

History of National Toasted Marshmallow Day

Taking a look at where this particular day began requires going back to the beginning. Maybe not completely back to the beginning of all time but, at the very least, to the beginning of the beloved marshmallow.

The namesake of the marshmallow is actually a flower (Althaea officinalis) but don’t worry, no flowers are now harmed in the making of this delicious treat! It was named after the marsh flower which, appropriately, is known to grow in marshes. The root of this flower was originally used to flavor marshmallows, but now they are made with other flavorings. But the name still stuck.

Some historians believe that the marshmallow dates as far back as ancient Egypt, when the people would extract the essence of the marshmallow plant, mix it with honey, and then turn it into a sort of gooey candy. Because it was so decadent, it was exclusive to the wealthy and powerful, such as royalty.

The marshmallow more like we now know it wasn’t created until much later–in 19th century France. At that time it was created sort of like a meringue–with egg whites, sugar, water and marshmallow root extract. They were then whipped into a fluffy, airy type of candy.

As they’ve morphed over time, the marshmallow root has been dropped, as often the eggs also have. Then adding in some corn syrup, starch, and/or gelatin for them to keep their shape.

It’s likely that the most famous treat ever made with the toasted marshmallow is, of course, the S’more. This traditional girl scout invented outdoorsy treat includes cramming a toasted marshmallow in the middle of a graham cracker sandwich made with a few pieces of delicious chocolate. The warmth of the toasted marshmallow brings a melty sensation to the chocolate and the whole thing is just a delicious, gooey mess of fun.

Since toasted marshmallows have become popular, it is estimated that every summer, about 50% of the marshmallows sold in the US are toasted over a fire. Now that’s a lot of toasted marshmallows!

Learn Fun Facts About Marshmallows

Impress friends and family members with these fun facts all centered around the glorious marshmallow:

Not all marshmallows are made equally. Some of them are actually not vegan because they contain eggs, or sometimes even animal gelatin.

Marshmallows probably first began as a recipe that was meant to have medicinal purposes, since the extracts from the roots were typically used as a remedy for sore throats.

Originally, in France, marshmallows were whipped by hand–which was a lot of hard work for those candy makers! Eventually, modified corn starch became part of the process that minimized the amount of labor that went into marshmallow making.

Americans buy (and eat!) approximately 90 million pounds of marshmallows every single year!

How to Celebrate National Toasted Marshmallow Day

Enjoying National Toasted Marshmallow Day isn’t difficult for anyone at all! It’s a simple and delicious way to give a nod to this yummy, gooey treat. Try some of these ideas for celebrating or come up with your own:

Toast Some Marshmallows

Of course it’s obvious, but it still deserves to be said. Today, of all days, get out there to a campfire or fireplace and toast some marshmallows. Have some friends and family over, whittle down those long sticks, build that campfire and get to toasting those yummy, fluffy, sugar-mallows!

Make Some Toasted Marshmallow Recipes

For folks who want to take things further than S’mores, there’s more to be done with toasted marshmallows! Try out these fun and interesting recipes for toasted marshmallows that will keep the family coming back for more:

Toasted Marshmallow Baked Sweet Potatoes. This takes health and deliciousness to a whole new level–and it doesn’t necessarily need to be Thanksgiving to enjoy this combination. Simply pile some mini marshmallows on top of a baked sweet potato and brown it in the oven until toasted.

Toasted Marshmallow Milk Shakes. After roasting those marshmallows, swirl them in a milkshake that is made with vanilla or chocolate ice cream. The smoky flavor combined with the sweetness is simply to die for.

Toasted Marshmallow S’mores Dip. Great for parties, this yummy dip includes cream cheese, powdered sugar, heavy cream, oven toasted mini marshmallows and Hershey’s chocolate. And, of course, graham crackers are the perfect thing to dip–but fruit or other cookies work just as well.

Toasted Marshmallow Pancakes. Make those yummy pancakes even dreamier by topping them with chocolate syrup and adding a dose of toasted marshmallows on top (a kitchen blowtorch is helpful for this one!).

Try Some Toasted Marshmallows Products

For those who don’t actually have a fire ready to get toasting, some companies offer toasted marshmallow flavored products that can be enjoyed in lieu of the actual treat. Try these out:

Toasted Marshmallow Flavoring Syrup. These types of syrups are delicious when put into hot chocolate, milkshakes or even coffee drinks. Torani and Monin are two of many brands offering toasted marshmallow flavoring syrup.

Toasted Marshmallow Greek Yogurt. One of the yummy flavors offered by Dannon Light & Fit.

Toasted Marshmallow Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. Whether eaten on their own or mixed with other flavors, these candies truly do taste like the real thing!

Toasted Marshmallow Scented Candles. Okay, this isn’t for eating, but it is still extremely delicious smelling! Many different companies have offered this scent including Bath & Body Works and various makers on Etsy.

Have a National Toasted Marshmallow Day Party

Grab some friends, family, neighbors and coworkers and invite them over for a National Toasted Marshmallow Day Party! Theme the decorations, food and activities all around the idea of marshmallows. Have guests dress in white marshmallow costumes, and make some fun decorations by stringing marshmallows on a thread and hanging it as garland.

And, of course, don’t forget to build a fire so that everyone can toast marshmallows until their hearts are content. While toasting, don’t forget to sing traditional campfire songs to make the time pass while the mallows are being roasted.

ive finally made exactly the (whipped) shortbread i want to eat after tinkering. im gonna write it out here so i dont forget what i did

1 cup butter (not european style, slightly warmer than room temp in winter)

~1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup cornstarch (may sub flour but less melty)

~1 1/2 cups AP flour

1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt

vanilla and almond extract (not worth using a vanilla bean)

Whip the butter a little until it’s smooth. Add sugar. Whip more JUST until color is pale and it’s a little less substantial- like too-loose buttercream. Texture gets worse if you keep whipping it past that.

Add salt, cornstarch, and extracts (mind the temperature, add liquid gradually.) Fluff it a tiny bit more and then add the flour. Dough should feel fatty and light on hands almost like whipped body butter.

Ball dough and press flatter with a fork. Can chill to reduce spreading. Bake between 300 and 350 degrees (i like 325). Lower temp makes paler looking shortbread but takes longer. Bake until it smells done and cookies just start to show color

Leave them alone for at least like 10min before moving them to a rack or else they WILL break. they arent good until they cool. Even better after sitting a couple days.

can bake in a muffin tin if you’re lazy (~14-15 min at 325) but you cant let them cool in the tin too long or they will be stuck.

dont fuck around and add stuff. honestly its better plain. you can always dip them in chocolate etc

1) Lobster.. Any way honestly. Particularly lobster pasta. Lobster mac and cheese, fresh, thick, crispy bread crumbs and browned cheese... Best invention of man kind. I mean it's filling, it goes down easy, high calorie, if only lobster was cheaper. Shrimp doesn't hit the same. I'd do crawfish if I lived closer to Louisiana

2)A traditional fluffy biscuit with a bit of jam and whipped honey butter.. Just warm enough when you've finished it drips down your hands.. I weep tears of joy. Thick slab bacon cured with brown sugar plus cheddar is another banger combo

3) Any kind of like mini fried donut fresh from the oil and coated in sugar, churros, the dumpling looking ones Chinese restaurants sell, the soft centered Portuguese ones, apple fritters, mmmmmhmmmm

4) I have this fantastic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Crisp edges, soft center, spread throughout with streaks of melty chocolate, sprinkled with flake sea salt, I mean yes. Best recipe I have ever found

5) Shout out to my favorite sleepy tea. Settles my nerves better than literally anything I've tried, does more for my adhd then meds, breaks even my worst bouts of insomnia

6) Nothing's beats a good hot chocolate. Taza, Ghirardelli, silly cow, works of beauty I tell you. The best way to have a cup is a splash of cream and sprinkle of cinnamon, broil some marshmallows on parchment paper and slide them onto the cup. Worth crying over

7) just berries with sweetened creme fraiche, nothing else needed.

8) Gingerbread cookies with lemon glaze are just spectacular. Measure those spices with your soul, don't bother diluting the juice you use that magic plant blood straight with powdered sugar. The crack, the campfire spice, the acidity, I weep

9) Who ever invented pad thai deserves hella recognition. I mean it's so customizable, so simple, so good, it's just the taste of pure comfort

10) The choco brownie ben and Jerry's, only appropriate serving is half a tub. Wish it melted at a slightly different pace but hands down best tasting ice cream I've ever had. That stuff is witchcraft
