Summer is finally here in Oregon - we have actually had two days over 90 degrees for the first time this summer.

What goes better with hot days than ice cream? 

We are an ice cream loving family. 

Growing up there was always a freezer FULL of ice cream, in fact at one time we had a freezer in the garage totally dedicated to ice cream.  That was the year my sister worked at Baskin Robbins and they let them bring home all their mistakes - fortunately she made a lot of mistakes!

Monday night I dug out the countertop Cuisinart ice cream maker to celebrate the arrival of summer and to make treats for family night (a regular Monday night occurrence at our house).  We had a short lesson and an activity which was weeding the vegetable garden for 30 minutes.  Believe me the kids were thrilled!

The best part of family night though is the treats!  I was in charge this week.

In preparation for summer I had recently purchased the Ben & Jerry Ice Cream & Dessert Book so Monday was a perfect time to try it out. 

I have been on a malted milk ball kick recently.

My favorite treat has been a bowl of Haagen Daz vanilla ice cream with crushed up Whoppers on top - yum!  So I decided to combine the two and make  the Vanilla Malt Chip ice cream.  The recipe calls for chocolate chips but  I used crushed Whoppers instead.

I started with their  Sweet Cream Base  #1 -

2 large eggs

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 cup whole milk

Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.  Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minutes more.  Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend.

Makes 1 quart.

To make the malt flavor I added 1/2 cup malt powder and 2 tsp. vanilla extract.  Pour the mixture into the container and start the ice cream maker.  Mine shuts off automatically when the ice cream is finished.

A cup of crushed Whoppers can be added the last couple of minutes, after the ice cream has thickened, right before the ice cream maker shuts off.

I like my ice cream a little harder so I put the container into the freezer for a while for it to firm up after the machine shuts off.

One of my kids doesn’t like Whoppers so I actually didn’t add them into the ice cream but just sprinkled them on top of the individual servings - that way she could have hers “plain”.

So if you don’t have an ice cream maker but want to give my Malted Milk Ball Ice Cream a try just buy yourself a pint of Haagen Daz vanilla and crush up a few Whoppers and you are good to go!  It won’t be quite as “malty” but it’s a close second.

Happy Summer!

Oooh, that looks yummy! And I am jealous of your 90 degree days. It was about 111 here yesterday and I heard they are predicting 114 for today. Yuck! We might just live on ice cream & popsicles!

Yum! What a great recipe. There’s nothing better than homemade ice cream on a hot summer day!! This one looks so yummy. And I love the idea of having whoppers added on top. Too wonderful.

Did I miss your favorite book that you read every summer at the beach house?? I’ve been ever so curious to hear what it is.

Have fun, and I think I’ll go add some ingredients to this weeks grocery list. . . I envision some yummy treats in my future! Renee

No you haven’t missed the book - I’ll write about it this coming Monday, stay tuned!!
Happy treat making!!

I have always loved homemade icecream! The most recent star prize that I chose (actually I let my 6 year old daughter Natalie choose this time!) is a soft serve icecream machine! It just arrived this week and we are SO excited to give it a try. I think I’ll do the same as you, Leigh Anne… try it out for a Monday night FHE!

Welcome

My number one priority
has been and will always be
my family.
But I also feel strongly
that it is possible
for women to incorporate
all their interests,
goals and ambitions
into a balanced life.
I love working with women and helping to inspire them to achieve their goals and dreams while still maintaining motherhood and family as
their number one priority.
