S’mores Ice Cream

I have a fun treat for you today!  I am a lover of ice cream.  There is just something so perfect about creamy, cold and sweet mixing together.  I decided to give making ice cream a try again, and the end result was almost magical.  Seriously.  This ice cream is so delicious, you will be begging for more!

I began with a simple vanilla ice cream and made enough for a large ice cream maker, but I only have a small ice cream maker.  Because of that, I was able to make two different types of ice cream and only had to make one batch of the vanilla.  Tomorrow I will show you the ice cream that I made with the other half of the mixture.

To begin, you will need to blend these ingredients together and then put them in the ice cream maker.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 C Whole Milk
• 1 1/2 C Sugar
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 can Evaporated Milk
• 1 1/2 TBS Pure Vanilla
• 2 C Whipping Cream

Here comes the fun part.  Now you get to add in the mix ins.  I chose to do a yummy s’mores ice cream first and boy was I glad that I did!  It is delicious!  Here’s what I mixed in:

• 1/2 small container of Marshmallow cream
• 1 cup Golden Grahams
• 1 Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar chopped

When the ice cream is just about done freezing in the ice cream maker, add these mix ins in a little at a time.  You want to make sure that they are evenly distributed.  My girls even got in on the adding mix ins action.  (or eating mix ins, both were acceptable) 🙂

After they are all mixed in, you are ready to eat it, or put it in the freezer for later.  I found that letting it sit in the freezer for a little bit was a good idea so that the ice cream was still scoopable, but not melting immediately.

Go make some and enjoy!  You will be SO glad that you did.
