It's all Lolly's fault!

Lolly bought a new toy last week and it was love at first bite for me - a new ice cream maker! She's made every flavor under the sun - peach, strawberry, banana and coffee. They were all so good, so I decided to get Lamar one for his birthday. It was more like a gift for all of us, but still...

I gave her a chance to perfect the recipe and tonight I made my first batch of homemade strawberry. It was delicious.

Here's the recipe for the ice cream base that we're using:

(for a 1 1/2 quart maker)
2 cups milk (2 % is fine)
2 cups half-half
1 14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk

After you make the base, you can add whatever flavor you like. I pureed frozen strawberries and added a cup to the base.

I might try the lower fat products next time, so I won't feel so guilty for eating ice cream every night!!!

For my next batch, I want to try pina colada with pineapple bits.

I'll let you know how it turns out!

We got one of those ice cream makers for our wedding and now I'm totally kicking myself for returning it! DOH!!

Mine was only $20 at Big Lots! Lolly got a fancier one, but I figured we try the cheap one first and upgrade later if we want to.

I personally can say that YES the strawberry ice cream was, in fact, DELICIOUS!! Thanks for letting me be a taste tester Jenn ;-) !!

I told your mom that I wanted to beat her for posting her recipe, so now I'm going to have to beat you, too!! It's a really good thing I don't have an ice cream maker (yet!!!). I am thinking I would need some rehab for all of this ice cream madness you guys have got going on!
