- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 overripe banana
- 5 strawberries
- 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp lemon juice
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA!
Start with the eggs, whipping them till they are a creamy yellow. Throw in the sugar and vanilla. Whip some more. Then add the cream and milk. Whip some more. This is your sweet cream base.
Using a fork, mash the strawberries and bananas together. Add in the lemon juice. Lemon juice brings out the flavor of any fruit. I used a food processor when I did this, and I wouldn't recommend it. The blades can break open the strawberry seeds and give your ice cream a slightly bitter aftertaste. :-P
When you've got it all mashed together, mix it into your sweet cream base. Throw in the chocolate chips. Don't use full-sized chocolate chips. They get hard as a rock when they freeze, and you'll crack a tooth.
Pour it into the freezer and freeze.
Serve with almond slivers and marachino cherries.
MMMMMMM. Ice cream.
No back to writing. Hope you feel inspired!
I don't think I would dare make only a quart of ice cream . . . my girls would eat it all before I had a taste. ;) Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! My kids can chow through ice cream pretty quick. I think I'm going to make some for FHE tonight.
ReplyDeleteI substituted Splenda for sugar, and it came out superb. I love Splenda. It is soooo not Aspertame ;o(
Also, it's probably a good idea to stick the ice cream in the freezer for a few hours and let it harden.
Otherwise you end up with ice cream soup!
Now that I'm awake, I have a quick question: do you cook the base at all, or do the eggs remain uncooked? The ice cream I have made with eggs before required some cooking.
ReplyDeleteNope!
ReplyDeleteNo cooking. Good ole raw eggs. I remind my kids when I want more for me. "You're eating raw eggs, did you know? Mmmmm...raw eggs."
"Eeeew, daddy."
"Sure you still want some?"
"Of course!"
Well, sometimes it works.
I love homemade ice cream, but sadly am too lazy too make it. But, oh yes, I love it!
ReplyDeleteMaking this immediately. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious, Tom! I have a Vitamix (thank you, Jesus!) and occasionally use that to make ice cream. Of course, I'm supposed to be doing this with only healthy lowfat ingredients, but must admit that when I see a recipe including 2 cups of whipping cream, I am totally smitten and an forced to succumb to the dark-side...or in this case, the calorie-side. :)
