Ice Cream Mixing Tips
When making homemade ice cream, I've found these tips really useful to get good, consistent ice cream:

Recipe
2 cups frozen cherries (I prefer organic) 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips 2 Hershey's bars shaved into small pieces 2 cups milk 1 1/2 cups sugar (or use stevia 3 tablespoons) 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups (1 pint) half and half 4 cups cream box of ice cream salt Directions: Scald milk until bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat and add sugar and salt, stirring until dissolved. Stir in half and half, vanilla and whipping cream. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Put into your fav ice cream maker. (see mixing tips on left) Mix until ice cream looks like soft serve (about 25 minutes) then add cherries, chocolate chips and shaved chocolate (you can easily shave it with a cheese grater) and stir for another 5 to 10 minutes. If you have an electric ice cream mixer and its making weird sounds, that means the ice cream is thick enough and you can stop mixing. Freeze ice cream in containers for about 2 hours before frozen. Enjoy! |
