Salt, Ice, hand-crank, etc. my Dad said it tasted better if you turned it yourself vs an electric. He was right, but I have a little Cuisinart machine now and it works pretty good I gotta say.

Apricot or peach brandied vanilla anyone?


If using commercial ice cream, it would be coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup

10. Homemade chocolate chip mint!!

Learned a great tip for adding the chocolate bits:

(Melt the chocolate with some coconut oil (prevents the chocolate from becoming rock hard) and slowly drizzle it into the churning ice cream. You'll get little ribbons of chocolate that harden immediately and then break up into smaller bits as you continue churning.)

One of his favorites was to freeze a tub of coolwhip, scoop it like ice cream, cover it with caramel and chocolate syrup and eat it... He loved it

Klondikes like that does sound good though, I'll have to try that some time.

13. Blueberry marble

I made this really lovely batch of vanilla ice cream batter. Before I put it in the freezer I added a pint of whole blueberries, on the theory they’d break against the beater and make a nice blueberry swirl.

They froze hard as a rock. I named it Blueberry Marble on grounds they were as hard as marbles.

15. my husband cuts up fruit and freezes it then folds it into the vanilla ice cream

so instead of strawberry ice cream it is really strawberries and cream.

He cuts up dried peaches or apricots into small bits, soaks in brandy , then spreads them out on a cookie sheet and freezes them. Then folds into the vanilla base. That stuff is killer.

and topping if I have it. Rare treat

The pisachio sounds good.

My daughter told me that Turkey Hill brand has Trioploitan now. They got triple vanilla for s-i-l's birthday.
