we all scream

This week I decided to learn to make ice-cream instead of try a new pie recipe. It was pretty simple but takes prep time and you have to have an ice-cream maker which is pretty annoying. None-the-less we have one and I broke it in sine receiving it as a gift a couple years ago.

1 - you have to wait till the mixing bowl to the ice-cream maker is completely frozen, i just popped it in our freezer the night before
2 - once cooking all the ingredients you have to let it cool completely
3 - once mixing the ice-cream you have to put it in the freezer for a couple hours before you can serve it firm.

I kind of liked eating it while it was still sort of slushy. We had some lovely vanilla beans from India that Hana brought home with her when she went on her world travels so I just made a classic French Vanilla. Next time I may cut the whole milk to low-fat milk and use a bit less sugar.

This recipe is pretty close to the one I followed except added real vanilla bean along with the vanilla extract it calls for: Vanilla Ice-Cream Recipe
