Now that I’ve blogged about my most successful ice cream attempt, I thought I should blog about my first ice cream attempt. I think I mentioned before that Francis got me the ice cream maker for our anniversary. I was so excited to use it that I don’t think I let the bowl freeze for long enough.

The ice cream flavor tasted great, but the texture wasn’t quite there. Anyways, I figured I should post this anyways because I definitely plan on making it again and freezing the bowl completely.

Ingredients
2 cups fresh strawberries cut in small pieces 
3 tbsp.  lemon juice
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Combine the strawberries with the lemon juice and 1/3 cup of sugar; stir and allow the strawberries to soak in the juices for 2 hours.

In another bowl,  whisk the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream, the vanilla and any accumulated juices from the strawberries.

Pour the mixture into the ice cream  maker. Let mix until thickened, about 25-30 minutes. Add the sliced strawberries during the last 5 minutes of freezing. Ice cream will be soft at this point. For a firmer ice cream, transfer to an airtight container and store in freezer until it has reached your desired consistency

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

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.
