I thought I would start an Ice-Cream thread. It happens to be a favourite special treat of mine, since normally, I refrain from eating sweets, and usually don't have dessert. One sugar in my quad-shot Short macchiato (only to ease the bitterness) is about as sweet as I get. And I wasn't referring to my charm...(or lack thereof).
The idea is, to contribute Ice-cream recipes, tell your favourite Ice-cream related story (please try and keep it G-rated though) debate favourite flavours etc.
So to kick-off, In Oz, we prefer to buy ice-cream, rather than make it. Boutique Ice-creams like Baskin Robbins, Homer Hudson, Cold Rock and New Zealand Natural, Wendy's etc. are very popular, and serve an amazing variety of tantalizing treats.. BUT!
Making Ice-cream yourself is cheaper, tastes as good, if not better and you know exactly whats in it. so I thought I would start with this recipe, which goes perfectly with belgian waffles and loads of maple syrup.
Cinnamon Ice Cream
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together the sugar
and half-and-half. When the mixture begins to simmer, remove
from heat, and whisk half of the mixture into the eggs.
Whisk quickly so that the eggs do not scramble. Pour the egg
mixture back into the saucepan, and stir in the heavy cream.
Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring constantly,
until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal
spoon. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla and cinnamon.
Set aside to cool. Pour cooled mixture into an ice cream maker,
and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
I hope you like it

I like chocolate and vanilla and butterscotch ripple and strawberry and butternut pecan and strawberry ripple. Ice cream is an important part of a well balanced diet.What kind of ice-cream would Jesus eat?

I like to buy mine also, vanilla and then I let my imagination run rampid with what I put on it. Imagination is a wonderful thing and can really make it sinful (opps Sanctus better not read this HAHA). My favorite add ons are fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries and blackberries then all I have to do is enjoy.

Just fine. I can't tell the diff. My friends happily eat it when they come over fr dinner. Can't remember brand name but is readily available in most grocery stores. Is lower in calories too.

I don't eat ice-cream products very much, but when I do I buy "Frozen Yogurt", and I think it tastes
just as good as any ice cream, and I don't feel guilty after, so that works for me, now, if I could
only find something to replace the chocolate cake that goes with it.
