Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

Maybe chocolate ice cream with cherries.

The important thing is to practice, practice, practice!

That's a great idea!

I bought some a few months back, or similar reasons. But, I haven't gotten around to coating them in the beeswax. Did yours come with the wax already on them? I'm a little daunted by the melting, dipping, letting them solidify process.

Yes, these are already coated. I was thinking about doing it myself, but I didn't, for the same reasons. I can even use free beeswax from our hives, but I'm just not up to it.

I really enjoy homemade ice creams. I use a Cuisinart with the freezable tub. I've had it for 20 years. Lately I've been making vanilla, pineapple, blueberry and maple walnut. I don't make ice cream as often as I like because I like eating it too much.

Well, the medical issues I have make it difficult for me to put on weight, so my doctors tell me to eat whatever I can. Ice cream goes down pretty easily

For ice cream ideas, one can do a www search for "Copy Cat Ice Cream Recipes" or even a specific one that you might like to mimic...you'll come up with lots of ideas. Chopped or processed cookies (homemade or store-bought) make a good addition!

One of my favorite things to do with vanilla or chocolate ice cream...layer it with things, as you pack it in a storage container. Things like chocolate syrup, caramel and chopped up MINI Reese's peanut butter cups is really good! I like the mini one as they are not wrapped and they are easiest to chop (mini, not the small ones).

My new favorite ice cream is Haagen Dazs coffee chip.

When I buy pre-made ice cream, I stick with a local brand that is all that's left of a local chain of ice cream shops from decades ago. It's delicious and creamy and contains about ⅓ the number of ingredients in the national brands.

Coffee "chip"? I don't think I've seen that one. Do you have an ice cream maker? Wanting a recipe?

Thanks Ginny. Noted!
I did once spill a bottle of Peppermint extract, WOW - cleared out the sinuses for a week!

 

[msmofet]

YUMMY!

Looks good...should be pretty easy to make a copycat...may take a bit of trial and error to perfect it! I would start with a good vanilla as a base, add some instant coffee or instant espresso...then, I think I would chop a good chocolate bar as opposed to using baking stuff. Or search the www for a copycat recipe?

Do you have an ice cream maker, @msmofet?

 

[msmofet]

I have a new one buried somewhere.

My old Waring died. I used to make fantastic coffee, butter pecan, and maple walnut ice creams. None of them had eggs in the recipes. Not sure if they started as a vanilla base. But I don’t think so.

One day I’ll figure out where hub buried my new one that makes up to a gallon at a time. The old one only made one quart.

If anyone wants the recipes let me know. They were really good. I think I will go on a treasure hunt to find mine. Lol

Here is the recipe I use for pineapple ice cream. I cut the lemon juice amount in half because it was overpowering. Also, I skipped the booze. Either fresh or canned pineapple works.

Dole Whip's got nothing on this refreshing pineapple ice cream made with fresh fruit.
