JUNE: Recipe challenge!

Thursday, June 9, 2011

what to do when the weather is 99 degrees

Buy a nice big fan at Home Depot.
Go barefoot.
Stay hydrated.
And the best for last...

Make the EASIEST HOMEMADE ICE CREAM EVER! (no ice cream maker required):

1 pint whipping cream (don't cringe - it's worth it) - whip with mixer until it's nice and fluffy
Add 1 can condensed milk and 2 teaspoons of vanilla - beat it just until mixed

Now, add whatever suits your mood. Here are a few ideas:
- fresh strawberries (be sure to either blend them a bit or mush them really small or they'll freeze in a big clump
- chopped walnuts, coconut and nutella (all three make a splendid combo)
- cinnamon (goes great with apple pie)

Then, toss in a large container and freeze overnight (or maybe about 4+ hrs if you're in a rush).
Enjoy!
