Inna’s Culinary Inventions

Why start updating my blog NOW??? I haven’t done it in MONTHS! Well, honestly, I needed a darn good reason to do it… THIS was it.

For our two year anniversary last week, Francis bought me something that I’ve been wanting for YEARS: an ice cream maker attachment for my Kitchen Aid.

Those that know me KNOW of my little addiction to ice cream…can’t live without it. Since Wednesday, I’ve made TWO types of ice cream. The first was a strawberry ice cream that tasted great but the texture wasn’t quite there. I think that may have been because I didn’t freeze the bowl long enough. But try two? The chocolate chip ice cream? PERFECT! It was everything I had imagined it to be and more! Tasted great, texture was awesome… L-O-V-E-D it! I just wish that Francis had gotten this thing for me sooner!

Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

chocolate chip ice cream

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 pint heavy whipping cream (didn't have enough, substituted 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream, 1/2
whole milk)
1 pint half and half
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
approximately 1 cup chocolate chips 

In a large mixing bowl (or in bowl of KA) mix 2 eggs. Add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
and whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and
again mix thoroughly. Don’t pack the brown sugar into the measuring cup, let it stay loose. Add 1
pint of heavy whipping cream (or 1/2 whipping cream, 1/2 whole milk), 1 pint of half and half,
1/4 tsp salt and 2 1/2 tablespoons of real vanilla extract. Let the mix chill in the refrigerator
for 4 hours. Prepare in the ice cream maker according to instructions. Add chocolate chips in the
last 2 minutes of preparation. Freeze for 2-3 hours before serving.
