Meet Pastry Chef Jen Yee of New York City's Lafayette restaurant. She had the sweet idea to fold crushed macarons into ice cream for a show-stopping dessert that only takes minutes to make. Genius, right? We can't get enough of this custom recipe she created for The Wink, inspired by Clinique Sweet Pots Sugar Scrub & Lip Balm in Sweet Rose, another delicious duo.

Jen Yee, pastry chef at NYC favorite Lafayette, loves playing with sugar. Watch her construct one of her favorite desserts at the restaurant, the sweet chestnut parfait with fennel pollen meringue and a fennel and blood orange salad, in this episode of Bending the Rules.

In this episode of People Cooking Things, Jen Yee makes a fizzy, sparkly strawberry ice cream float. Read the recipe here: http://luckypeach.com/recipes/gold-bubbles/.
