Ice Cream Update

The ice cream was a little on the soft side last night. Another night in the freezer and it was more the consistency that I expected. I'll need to tinker with the proportions a bit. The recipe called for 3/4 cup of sugar and it was a bit on the sweet side, so next time I'll try 1/2 cup and see how that tastes.
Overall, it's pretty yummy. Especially with the dark chocolate syrup. At some point I'll add in the peanut butter and then I'm ready to go.

Sounds like a science experiment.

Have fun with it.

Love, Pat

I could have a lot of fun with that machine...although for me it would be VERY dangerous!

I recommend Alton Brown's "Good Eats" episodes on making ice cream. Very dangerous for one's waistline, as he shows you how to make both regular and your "upscale" ice cream.

In general, less sugar is better for homemade ice cream. We've been making it for years, and my dad lowers the amount of sugar every year. Maybe it's an acquired taste....

Yumm! I am glad you like it. I would like to try some at Christmas.
