Third Time's A Charm

· 🌡️ 32°F

So, what is a girl to do if she doesn't have a need or desire to go out during a rainy/snowy/icey day? Make ice cream!!

My first try was ok. Raspberry sorbet for my beloved. I didn't have as many frozen raspberries as i should have, so it was a bit too sweet. @uncutsaniflush doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, but when he wants sweets he wants them very sweet... so this fits the bill. Next time, more raspberries, less sugar and a tiny bit more lemon juice.

My second try didn't go as well. Cinnamon ice cream. I used a bit too much sugar, again, and a tiny bit too much cinnamon. Plus, the big boo boo was not letting the mixture cool enough before putting into the ice cream maker. Next time, i might just try steeping cinnamon sticks instead of putting in the powder.

This try... banana ice cream!! Oh, i hope it tastes as good when it is completely hardened as it did when it was soft serve from the ice cream maker!! At the last minute, i added walnuts and chocolate chips too. I cooled the mix in the fridge overnight while the ice cream bowl froze, too. So it should be yum!!

Of course, i could just find recipes instead of inventing them like @jenks suggested...

    Shit, I didn't know you were flying solo with the ice cream maker. You should try the seriously old-skool Ben & Jerry's Cookbook. Great recipes; fun commentary. :::link::: "There's no such thing as an unredeemingly bad batch of homemade ice cream."

    yep, that's all I ever use. Sweet cream base #2 I think, and then I throw stuff in. There are tons of other yummy sounding ones in there that I always say I'll try, but never get around to. I think I even saw a recipe for beer ice cream somewhere.

    Ha ha ha... well, i think i disagree with that quote. My cinnamon ice cream was unredeemingly bad...
