SUMMER JOY ICE CREAM

Vanilla

1 C Whole milk

¾ C Sugar ( I use raw sugar, allulose, or monk fruit sugar. Your choice.)

Pinch salt

2 C Heavy cream ( I have also used half & half)

1 TBSP Vanilla

Use an electric mixer or whisk by hand the milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Hand mix in the cream. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight. Then put the mixture in the frozen Cuisinart freezer bowl and turn on the Cuisinart machine. When the mixture is thickened, it is ready. If you like it firmer, place it in an airtight container and put it in the freezer.

Add-ins:

Crushed cookies, nuts, fruit, chocolate chips, carob chips, or your favorite candy, chopped up.

Chocolate

2/3 C Cocoa powder or carob sifted

½ C Sugar of choice

1/3 C Dark brown sugar

Pinch of salt

1 C Whole milk

2 C Heavy cream ( may use half & half)

½ TBSP Vanilla             

Whisk together Cocoa powder, sugars, and salt. Use an electric mixer and add in the milk with the cocoa, sugars, and salt until dissolved. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla by hand into the mixture. Cover and refrigerate it for one to two hours or overnight. Pour into the Cuisinart freezer bowl and turn on the ice cream maker as above. After the ice cream is finished, add in any of the above add-ins.
