Easy Peasy Homemade Ice Cream to Die For

reply to post by AreUKiddingMe


So, no ice crystals?
Did you use any extract with alcohol in it?

Oh man that sounds excellent. I wish I could try it. (No sugar for me).
You put in rum. I'm wondering if creme de cacao would be good. I'm betting YES!

Vanilla extract is all, and it was smooth and creamy, no crystals.

I'm thinking: Butter Ripple Schnapps with chopped pecans

OMG !!

Oh my Gawd! Hmmm.... Do you suppose the two TBLS in this recipe would be safe for the kiddos? Guess I am making two batches. One with vanilla extract for them, and one with alcohol for me.

Personally, I wouldn't be concerned about a couple of tablespoons... (unless you're feeding them this ice cream 20 times a day)

LOL

But you need to make that judgement for yourself as a parent. Just keep in mind that if you're using a real vanilla extract, it too has alcohol in it.


Edit to add: Out of curiosity, I just googled the alcohol content of Butter Ripple Schnapps... it's only 15%, whereas full spirit alcohols (ie: rum or whiskey) have an alcohol content of 35 - 40%. And pure vanilla extract is roughly about 35%.

Duh! Thanks Cranial! Completely forgot about vanilla extract being made with alcohol.

Ya know, I don't think that small of an amount will hurt them either. I am off to the liquor store, then I'll be trying this out.

I used 2 tablespoons of rum but alcohol is alcohol. If your extract has it great, the artificial vanilla extract that I had was waterbase.

reply to post by Doodle19815


Good question, I will say that I could not taste the rum at all and I don't like rum!

LOL Cranial, I was begging my housemates to help me eat it because I had no self control. Ice cream is my biggest weakness.

Review -

The kiddos and I had a blast making this! Super kid friendly.

We chopped up some frozen berries.


Added them to the condensed milk mixture.


Whipped our heavy whipping cream to soft peak.


Then folded all together.


Froze for 7 hours, and it was about soft serve constancy. Yummy!

We also did butter pecan the same way. Equally delicious.

Note - when using chunks of items, I recommend a stir about halway through the freezing process. They tend to sink.

The kids say we will never buy ice cream again. In my book, that makes this recipe a keeper.

Doodle, thanks for the review and that looks so very yummy!!!! The pictures made my mouth water. I too will never buy ice cream again. The best thing about this recipe, all the ingredients are pronounceable.

Bumping just for the summer time peeps.

Still making this and loving it!

Our household favorite is crushed Reese's cups. Anybody else tried anything unique?

Dying to try this. Has anybody done maple for the flavoring? Maple walnut ice cream is one of my weakness' and was wonder how pure maple syrup would work.

To the OP: That recipe is far too fattening and rich for me, so, I have found another recipe that is only 50 calories per serving, for those that worry about our figures. However, I think your recipe could also be tweeked by adding more low-fat condensed milk and less cream, to reduce the calories.

There is no doubt that this is fattening, that's why I have only made it for special occassions when it will be eaten by more than just me. Sweetened condensed milk is very high in sugar so either way you will get a load of calories. I to have to watch what I eat also or I'll pack on the pounds. At least when I make this occassional treat I know what is in it and I can pronounce all the ingredients.

Thanks for sharing the video for your recipe, sounds yummy also. It looks to be more like Ice milk than ice cream, but I bet it's very refreshing. Where can I find guar gum, in a health food store?
I love almond milk, I'm looking forward to trying it.
