There is just something about summer and ice cream that go together. My favorite kinds are peppermint, heath bar, raspberry rumble and when on Sanibel - Dirty Sand Dollar.
Last night I pulled out my ice cream maker and fired up my first batch (of many) for the summer.
Making home made ice cream is really easy. I have a 4quart maker. First you mix together:
2.5 cups milk
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2.5 cups half & half
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 cups whipping cream
Pack it all in the ice cream maker with a lot of ice and pour some ice cream salt over the ice...
Turn the machine on and 45 minutes later I have 4 quarts of yummy goodness. I added heath bar bits to some...
And left one container plain vanilla (because I forgot to buy the peppermint pieces).
Chablis just crumbled some oreo cookies over hers and declared it delicious!
Grab a spoon and come on by!
