EASY AND DELICIOUS HOMEMADE ICE CREAM || your new fav summer treat
/Do you love ice cream? It’s one of my FAVORITE treats! It doesn’t matter the season or time of year for me, but we definitely eat a lot more of it come summer time!
I have been making this recipe on REPEAT for months now and I am so excited to share it with you! It will be your new, favorite go-to dessert for when friends come over, or when you are just craving some fresh ice cream on these hot summer nights!
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
Start by combining your 2 cups of cold whipping cream and 1 cup of cold milk in a medium size pot. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar. Once thoroughly mixed, add to your milk/cream mixture and turn the heat on low. I use raw milk and cream and I don’t want to destroy all of the raw goodness by heating this up too much!
With your pot on low, whisk together your ice cream base for about 5 minutes. Pour it into a bowl with a lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, the longer the better. Sometimes I put my precious ice cream base in the freezer to cool it down sooner, you don't want your ice cream base warm and taking a long time to get cold again!! Now at this point you can soak Oreos, cookies, brownies, peppermint, the sky is the limit!! Sometimes I soak goodies, and sometimes I just make it “plain” and add salted caramel sauce!
Now, after your ice cream base has been refrigerated for at least 4 hours, just pour it into your ice cream maker and wait for the magic to happen! My latest sugar obsession has been this salted caramel sauce! We top it on our ice cream, and sometimes I mix it in….it’s so good and so easy! Eat it plain or top with with treat, you can’t go wrong!
I hope you enjoy this delicious and easy recipe! I promise it’s so easy and your friends and family will LOVE it!!
