The decades he spent making this trip are the inspiration for this ice cream. Since you don&#8217;t get a train commute without train tracks, I thought that I&#8217;d create an interpretation of &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/moosetracks.com\/about-moose-tracks\/\">Moose Tracks ice cream<\/a>. Moose Tracks is a vanilla ice cream with fudge and peanut butter butter cups.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009, <a href=\"https:\/\/delaware.gov\/topics\/facts\/misc.shtml\">Delaware&#8217;s official dessert<\/a> has been the peach pie. With this in mind, I wanted peach pie flavors to figure into this ice cream. So, the Train Tracks ice cream has a vanilla-peach base, and is swirled with fudge and peach pie filling. The base begins the same way a vanilla ice cream would, but peach preserves are added to the custard. I adapted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abeautifulmess.com\/2015\/06\/my-favorite-peach-pie.html\">a peach pie filling recipe<\/a> and heavily borrowed from <a href=\"https:\/\/erinblueburke.com\/2014\/07\/homemade-moose-tracks-ice-cream\/\">a fudge recipe<\/a> for the mix-ins. I also made pie crust crisps by taking a pie crust and brushing it with egg whites and brown sugar and then baking it.<\/p>\n<p>As the first Joe Biden ice cream, Train Tracks is in first place so far, undefeated by another. How long can it remain at the top?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a Delaware senator, Joe Biden made a daily commute from Wilmington to Washington DC for work.
