-Ice Cream Making-
Over the 4th of July weekend we decided to make some homemade ice cream. It was quite the adventure!
~Homemade Ice Cream~
Supplies
First Mom made our ice cream base. We made a vanilla ice cream base. Rus, Tert, and Filia wanted to try making ice cream the traditional way (with the hand-crank) but soon decided that it would be much better to use the electric mixer.
Next Rus smashed the ice so that it was in smaller chunks.
Then we put our ice cream base in the mixer so it filled up 2/3 full.
We began our layering with 6 cups of ice and topped it with 1/2 cup of ice cream salt.
We repeated the layering until it filled up to the base of the canister. Then we filled the mixer with water up until it hit the drainage hole line.
45 minutes of mixing later we had ice cream!
Now, there was good news and bad news about our ice cream making...
The bad news was that our table collapsed...but the good news was that we saved the ice cream!
(Our table had one too many little people climb on top of it in order to crank the ice cream maker.)
The next step is to mix in some oreos (if you want cookies and cream ice cream) and then taste test!
Yum!
Freeze at least two hours before serving it with some 4th of July cake and topping it with some homemade caramel sauce and a cherry.
Then again you can always use it to make a nutella shake. :)
