I prepared the basic vanilla ice cream and added mini chips during the last 5 minutes of churning. The more basic the taste the more Marty will like something. The ice cream maker was so much fun to work with and had soft serve ice cream ready in about 25 minutes. I then put it in the freezer to harden up just a little.
I ran out of time to make "gourmet" cookies, so I resorted to the ever faithful Nestle chocolate chip cookie recipe and made bar cookies with it. Easy, quick and still delicious!
This was a perfect ending to our fabulous celebration dinner in honor of my fantastic husband. I hope you have enjoyed sharing all the yummy recipes from our evening.
From the heart of my kitchen to yours, may your experience be fun and the food always flavorful. Enjoy!
Vanilla Ice Cream
1 cup whole milk, well chilled
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream, well chilled
1 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, to taste
3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 - 2 minutes on low speed. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla to taste. Turn machine on, pour mixture into freezer bowl through ingredient spout and let mix until thickened, about 25 - 30 minutes.

I love homemade icecream!!!
THere is nothing like home made ice cream! My older son was just asking me to make some mint chip tonight. But it's about 3 degrees outside, so I think I might wait a couple of days! The whole dessert looked decadent.
Oh Christy, what a lovely dessert. I agree, there is nothing better than homemade ice cream. Store bought does not compare. Great job.
Wow! That sounds great! I'd love to have an ice cream right now!
