I Can't Believe I Made It!!!

I never realized how easy it is to make homemade ice cream!!! So why doesn't everyone make their own? Is it because they don't know how easy it is? Do I have the only ice cream machine that makes it this easy? I can't believe that all I had to do was mix a few common ingredients into a bowl and then add it to my ice cream maker! Then I just turned on the switch and 20 minutes later I had this delicious, cold, creamy creation!

This is my new ice cream machine that I won in a Facebook giveaway! I mentioned it in this previous post...'My Prize' 

This is such a great invention! There is only one flaw with this machine! The manufacturer should have made it so that the ice cream machine cannot be opened until the ice cream is done being made! I kept eating scoops of fresh made ice cream through the opening in the top. Not a good idea if you want to share this ice cream with your family!

I made Mint Chocolate Chip! One of my favorite flavors! Now I can't wait to create my own unique flavors! I think I'll create an Almond Joy flavored ice cream...and a Canoli Gelato...and a Mango Sorbet! Oh, I think I'm going to be very busy with my new toy! 

 Here's a photo of my first homemade ice cream along with the recipe link! I love this recipe because it doesn't contain eggs! The only change I made was to use light cream instead of heavy cream and I used 1% milk instead of 2%...everything else was as written!
