Make Your Own Yummy Creation – the Ice Cream Maker
Take a chance at a new gadget in the kitchen. Try making your own ice cream! My newest passion started as almost a joke from my husband. After repeatedly questioning, “How much ice cream can you eat?” I randomly threw out that I would like to have an ice cream maker at home. Little did I know that my wish could become his command! Don’t be afraid to try this out, even in the wintertime!
When the ice cream maker first arrived, I was pleased to see it was a good size and from a excellent maker (I received the Cuisinart ICE-20). The ice cream maker is easy to use and comes with a self-explanatory manual including recipes for use. After reading through the manual and purchasing the ingredients, I was ready to make my first batch.
Needless to say, that first batch hasn’t been the last. My favorite combination includes the classic vanilla ice creamed topped with sweet, fresh sliced strawberries. But don’t be afraid to stop there. While there are various recipes for different-based ice creams, don’t hesitate to try mix-ins. With about 5 minutes left in the process before you transfer your batch to the freezer, add your favorite goodie. Some yummy suggestions? Try peanut butter cups, Oreos, cookie dough, caramel, snack size candy bars, nuts, or maybe even gummy bears to bring out the kid in you! All in all, you’ll have a fresh, preservative-free creation that you can be proud of!
