Ice cream is okay.
I mean, it's good. I like it. It's just...
I could have chocolate instead.
Don't get me wrong, sometimes that mood hits me and I really want some ice cream like right that second. But in general, there are desserts I'd prefer (like this or this.)
The boy, however, he loves him some ice cream.
It's a part of that whole "refreshing" obsession he seems to have.
Anyway, I'm becoming a big fan of having as much of stuff I make be as homemade as possible.
Then I saw something about ways to make ice cream with only 2 ingredients (plus mix-ins). Then I saw it again. I was intrigued. Not only because of the short ingredient list, but also-it requires no ice cream maker of any sort. Which is good, because I don't have one (still holding out on getting that KitchenAid Stand Mixer someday, then the ice cream attachment :P)
I had a recipe for a mixed berry milkshake I had been planning to make for Michael (like the nice girlfriend I am). And I decided that was the perfect time to attempt this ice cream.
I only needed vanilla ice cream for the milkshake (as opposed to the various different flavors I'd read about)-so I decided adding some vanilla extract to the base would create what I was looking for.
It worked!
It's awesome. Doesn't taste different than any other ice cream.
And it.is.so.EASY!
I'm super excited to attempt the different, fun kinds!
(oh, and the boy approved)
