The Story Behind Jordan Marsh's Famous Muffins

Back in the day, Jordan Marsh, a beloved department store in Boston, wasn’t just famous for fashion , it was known for its bakery. Their plump, soft, and sugary-topped blueberry muffins became the stuff of legend. Shoppers would make special trips just for a taste.

Even today, food lovers crave that tender crumb, bursting blueberries, and that signature sparkly sugar top. Luckily, with a few secrets and simple ingredients, you can recreate them right at home.

Why This Recipe Is So Special

Bursting with Blueberries: You’ll use lots of fresh blueberries, tossed in flour to avoid sinking.

Buttery and Moist: Thanks to the perfect blend of butter and sugar creamed together.

Sparkling Sugar Top: A crunchy sugar topping adds the iconic bakery finish.

Simple Ingredients: No hard-to-find items, just pantry staples and fresh berries.

🌟 Pro Tip: Don't overmix the batter! That’s the secret to keeping the muffins light and tender.

Ingredients You’ll Need

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, plus extra for topping

2 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ cup milk

2 ½ cups fresh blueberries

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with papers or grease it lightly.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¾ cups flour, salt, and baking powder together.

5. Combine Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

6. Fold in the Blueberries

Toss the blueberries with the remaining ¼ cup flour, then gently fold them into the batter.

7. Fill the Muffin Cups

Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle generously with sugar on top.

8. Bake

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool slightly, then enjoy warm!

Sarah’s Extra Tips for the Best Muffins 

Because food is personal, and I always bring a little family magic into everything, here are my best muffin-making secrets:

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For even mixing.

Toss Blueberries in Flour: So they don’t sink to the bottom!

Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined. Lumpy batter = tender muffins.

Try Lemon Zest: Add 1 teaspoon to the batter for a bright twist.

Mix Sugar Types: A little raw sugar (turbinado) on top creates extra crunch.

How to Store and Freeze

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Freezing: Freeze individually wrapped muffins for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or a low oven.

Ice Cream Cake Strain: A Homemade Nostalgic Chill You Can Taste

There’s something magical about desserts that transport you back to simpler times, warm summer evenings, sticky hands, and laughter that echoed through the house. For me, desserts were never just treats; they were memories wrapped in sweetness.

One particular flavor memory I fell hard for was inspired by the Ice Cream Cake strain, a cannabis strain beloved for its ultra-creamy, sugary, relaxed vibes. It got me thinking: what if I could recreate that feeling as a real dessert? A treat that melts your worries away, just like the best summers of your childhood.

And so, this Homemade Ice Cream Cake Strain Dessert was born.

The Ice Cream Cake Strain: A Quick Flavor Story

Before we dive into layers of cream and cookie crunch, let’s talk about the inspiration. The Ice Cream Cake strain is a 75% Indica-dominant hybrid made by crossing Wedding Cake with Gelato #33, two heavy-hitters known for their delicious flavors. It’s loved for its creamy, sweet vanilla notes with hints of sugary dough and a relaxing, euphoric high.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll gather to make this sweet masterpiece:

2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (like Oreos)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1½ quarts vanilla ice cream, softened

1½ quarts cookies and cream ice cream (or mint chocolate chip for a twist)

1½ cups heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Toppings: Mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup

How to Make a Homemade Ice Cream Cake (Step-by-Step)

1. Crafting the Cookie Crust

Start by crushing your chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Mix them with melted butter until the crumbs look like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for about 15 minutes. Tip: Use a flat-bottomed glass to pack it down tightly for the best crust.

(P.S. Need more no-bake dessert ideas? Check out my Frozen Strawberry Cheesecake Bars, they’re a freezer must!)

2. Layer the Ice Cream

Spoon softened vanilla ice cream over the crust. Smooth it gently with a spatula to avoid lifting the crumbs. Freeze for 30-45 minutes until firm.

Next, spread the cookies and cream (or mint chip) ice cream over the vanilla layer. Freeze again for at least 1 hour.

Looking for a nostalgic twist? Sally’s Homemade Ice Cream Cake Recipe offers more layer inspiration!

3. Whipping the Dreamy Frosting

While the cake freezes, whip up your frosting. Beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until you get fluffy peaks. It should feel like thick clouds, but still hold its shape.

Kitchen Tip: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes beforehand for quicker whipping.

4. Decorating with Heart

Unmold the frozen cake and frost it generously with the whipped cream. Decorate the top with mini chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, crushed cookies, and a gooey drizzle of syrup if you like.

This is the part where you pour your personality into the cake, colorful sprinkles? Caramel drizzle? A sprinkle of sea salt? Go wild.

Want even more summer dessert ideas? Southern Living’s Lemon Icebox Pie would pair beautifully with a slice of this cake! 

Serving & Storage Tips

Serve: Let the cake sit out at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.

Store: Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the freezer. It stays fresh and magical for up to 7 days.

Make Ahead: It’s a perfect party recipe because you can make it 1-2 days in advance!

Variations to Try

✨ Mint Lovers: Replace cookies and cream ice cream with mint chocolate chip. ✨ Peanut Butter Dream: Add a layer of peanut butter cups between the ice cream layers. ✨ Strawberry Swirl: Use strawberry ice cream and fresh berries for a fruity twist.

Feeling inspired by classic flavors? Grandma’s Best Strawberry Desserts will definitely spark ideas!

FAQs About Homemade Ice Cream Cake

Can I use store-bought whipped topping?

Yes, if you’re short on time, but homemade whipped cream tastes so much fresher!

How far ahead can I make this?

You can make the full cake up to a week in advance and decorate it just before serving.

Can I make a smaller version?

Absolutely! Use a loaf pan instead of a springform pan for a mini ice cream cake.

A Sweet Ending from My Kitchen to Yours

When I take the first bite of this cake, I'm instantly back in my mom’s kitchen, barefoot on cool tile floors, licking melted ice cream off my fingers. Food has that kind of magic, doesn’t it? It can teleport you back to the safest places.

This Homemade Ice Cream Cake Strain Dessert is creamy, nostalgic, stress-melting, and a pure joy to share, or to hoard all to yourself. (No judgment here!)

Origins and Culture

Ding Tea's origins are not specified in the prompt. More information is needed to describe its history and cultural significance.

Key Ingredients and Benefits

Ding Tea's ingredients aren't listed, preventing a detailed explanation of its flavor or health benefits. A description of the ingredients and their impact on taste and health would go here. For example, we could discuss if it uses herbs, fruits, or spices, and how those ingredients might improve health.

Types of Ding Tea

Tea Types

Ding Tea comes in many forms. Some use black tea, giving a strong, malty flavor. Others use green tea for a lighter, grassy taste. Oolong tea offers a middle ground, with notes of both black and green tea.

Sweetness Levels

You can usually choose how sweet you want your Ding Tea. Many places offer options like no sugar, less sugar, or regular sweetness. Some even let you pick your own sweetness level.

Added Ingredients

Ding Tea often includes extra ingredients. Popular choices are milk, giving a creamy texture, and fruit, adding extra flavor and vitamins. Common fruits include mango, strawberry, and passion fruit. You might also find Ding Tea with cheese foam, creating a foamy top layer. Each addition changes the taste and look of the drink.

Essential Ingredients: Sourcing and Quality

High-Quality Tea Leaves

The type of tea leaf greatly impacts Ding Tea's flavor. Black tea gives a strong, malty taste. Green tea offers a lighter, grassy flavor. Oolong tea sits in the middle, blending characteristics of both. Look for tea leaves from reputable sources known for their quality and freshness.

Sweetener Selection

Sugar adds sweetness. The amount varies depending on preference. Some Ding Tea uses sugar, while others use alternatives like honey or sugar substitutes. Check the ingredients list for details.

Milk Matters

Milk adds creaminess. Whole milk provides richness, while lower-fat options create a lighter drink. The type of milk can change the texture and taste. Consider using high-quality milk for the best results.

Fruit and Flavor Boosters

Many Ding Teas include fruit or flavorings. Common choices include mango, strawberry, and passion fruit. These additions create unique tastes and sometimes add vitamins. Choose fruits that are ripe and flavorful.IngredientsQuantityNoteTea LeavesVaries by recipeChoose high-quality leaves for best flavor.SugarTo tasteAdjust to your preference.MilkTo tasteWhole milk or lower-fat options available.Fruit/FlavoringsOptionalFresh, ripe fruit enhances flavor.

How to Make Ding Tea: Step-by-Step Guide

Brewing Your Tea

First, heat water. The temperature depends on your tea type. Generally, use boiling water for black tea, slightly cooler water for green tea, and a temperature in between for oolong tea. Steep the tea leaves according to package directions. Remove the leaves once the tea is brewed to your liking.

Sweetening and Adding Milk

Add sugar or another sweetener to your brewed tea. Stir until the sweetener dissolves. Then, add milk if you want a creamy Ding Tea. Stir gently to combine. Adjust the amount of sugar and milk to your taste.

Adding Fruit and Other Flavors

If you're using fruit, add it now. You can use fresh fruit, fruit puree, or fruit syrups. Stir it in. Some Ding Teas use other flavorings. Add these as you prefer.

Making Cheese Foam (Optional)

To make cheese foam, blend milk with cream cheese until fluffy. Carefully spoon the foam on top of your drink.

Serving Your Ding Tea

Pour your Ding Tea into a glass filled with ice. Enjoy your freshly made Ding Tea! Experiment with different teas, sweeteners, and additions to find your perfect recipe.

Variations and Customization

Fruit Fusion

Add fresh fruit! Mango, strawberry, and passion fruit are popular choices. Try combinations like mango and strawberry, or passion fruit and a little bit of pineapple. Experiment to find your favorites!

Sweetener Options

Control your sweetness. Many places let you choose no sugar, less sugar, or regular sweetness. Some even let you pick exactly how sweet you want it. You can also try honey or other sweeteners instead of sugar.

Tea Type Twists

Change the base tea. Black tea is strong, green tea is lighter, and oolong tea is in between. Each tea gives a different taste. Try them all to see which one you like best.

Creative Combinations

Get creative! Mix different fruits and sweetness levels with your favorite tea type. For example, try a lightly sweetened green tea with mango and a splash of milk, or a strong black tea with passion fruit and no sugar. The possibilities are endless!

Health Aspects of Ding Tea

Sugar and Calories

Ding Tea can have a lot of sugar, depending on how sweet you make it. Too much sugar isn't good for your health. It can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Choosing less sugar or no sugar is a healthier option. Check the nutrition information to see how many calories and how much sugar is in your drink.

Caffeine Content

Ding Tea contains caffeine, like coffee or soda. Caffeine can give you energy, but too much can make you jittery or keep you awake at night. The amount of caffeine depends on the type of tea used. Black tea usually has more caffeine than green tea. If you're sensitive to caffeine, you might want to choose a smaller size or a decaffeinated option if available.

Potential Benefits

Tea itself can have some health benefits. Tea leaves contain antioxidants, which are good for your body. Adding fruit to your Ding Tea can also add vitamins and other good things. However, remember that added sugars and high calorie counts can negate these benefits.

Milk and Other Ingredients

The type of milk you choose matters. Whole milk has more calories and fat than skim milk. Other added ingredients, like fruit or cheese foam, also add calories and sugar. Think about the extras you choose, keeping in mind a healthy balance.

Where to Find Ding Tea

Cafes and Tea Shops

Many cafes and tea shops sell Ding Tea. Check local shops or search online for "Ding Tea near me." You can often find different flavors and customize your drink.

Online Stores

Some online stores sell pre-made Ding Tea or the ingredients to make it at home. Look at online marketplaces or the websites of tea companies. Be sure to check reviews before ordering.

Making Ding Tea at Home

The earlier section shows you how to make Ding Tea yourself. This gives you control over the ingredients and how sweet you want it. You can experiment with different tea types and fruit combinations.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Over-Brewed Tea

If your Ding Tea is too strong, you might have brewed it for too long. Try using less tea or brewing it for a shorter time. Using cooler water for green tea is also important.

Bitter Taste

A bitter taste can mean you used water that was too hot, especially with green tea. Using the right water temperature for each tea type helps avoid bitterness. Also, over-steeping the tea leaves causes bitterness.

Inconsistent Taste

If your Ding Tea tastes different each time, make sure you're using the same amount of tea leaves, sugar, and milk each time you make it. Using fresh ingredients also makes a difference in the flavor. Using a scale to measure ingredients helps ensure consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best type of tea for Ding Tea?

The best tea type depends on your preference. Black tea gives a strong, malty flavor. Green tea offers a lighter, grassy taste. Oolong tea provides a balance of both. Experiment to find your favorite!

You control the sweetness! Many places offer no sugar, less sugar, or regular options. You can also use honey or other sweeteners. Adjust to your liking.
