One thing that we almost always have in our freezer is ice cream. It’s just a dessert that can be enjoyed any time of year. Ice cream is good when it is 90 degrees outside and you are in shorts, and it is still good when it is 30 degrees and you are wrapped in a blanket. Am I right?
Want to know something crazy? I went through a phase when I was younger…much younger…that I did not like ice cream. I know, right?
What kind of crazy kid doesn’t like ice cream? I am so glad I grew out of that strange phase. I think it was the fact that it was so cold…maybe it bothered my teeth or something. Whatever the case was, it’s gone now. I can down a bowl of ice cream with the rest of them.
Our kids did not inherit that strange gene. They all like ice cream any time for a sweet treat. Not that we need more sweet treats in this house. I mean it is totally normal for them to come home to a pan of Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispies or Gooey Butterfinger Brownie Bars after school.
In fact, I get stares when they come home, and I didn’t make anything new. It’s like they think I bake all the time or something. Ok, so maybe I do. What? It’s my stress relief. That and clothes shopping…but let’s just leave the clothes out of it for today.
Most of the time I just buy tubs of ice cream to hide in the freezer when it is on sale, but then there are times I like to create my own crazy combos. Like brownie batter and coffee! I mean what’s not to love about that one!
Have you made the easy ice cream? Whipping cream and a can of sweetened condensed milk is all you need for the basic ice cream base. I do like to add cream cheese to mine to help it thicken better, and because I have a thing for cheesecake flavored anything.
Just make sure you give yourself enough time for the ice cream to freeze. Nothing like making ice cream for dessert and then realizing it won’t be ready for that night. Not that I have ever done that before…

August 28, 2015 at 9:57 PMMy girl is 3 and she is totally not a fan of ice cream for that reason — it’s so cold! She always asks me to warm it up for her. Lol. I, on the other hand, like ice cream just fine especially with a dose of chocolate and caffeine!
Jocelyn says
August 31, 2015 at 4:56 PMI can totally relate with her. My gram used to look at me funny when I said I didn’t like ice cream. Boy, am I glad I outgrew that…I missed out some serious goodness all those years!

August 29, 2015 at 1:26 PMI’ve never had the problem of not liking ice cream. I remember when I was young, going to the dentist came with a coupon for a free ice cream cone afterwards. (I know, dentists today would be APPALLED!)
Coffee and brownie in the same ice cream? That would be heaven!
Jocelyn says
August 31, 2015 at 4:57 PMYes!!! We used to get coupons for ice cream too!

August 30, 2015 at 7:20 AMWhenever there’s brownie in my ice cream, all bets are off. I can and WILL eat the whole batch, no regrets. And with coffee. YES.
You were a weird kid, Jocelyn. No way around that. 🙂 But at least your kids eat the ice cream. Summer wouldn’t be nearly as fun if they didn’t!
Jocelyn says
August 31, 2015 at 4:58 PMIt’s a good thing we had family visiting…because I would have eaten way more than I should have!!!

July 3, 2018 at 3:19 PMWhat brand of instant coffee did you use? I’m trying to find a kind that doesn’t give the ice cream a strange taste.
Jocelyn says
July 3, 2018 at 5:17 PMHonestly, I just buy the $1 jar at Walmart because it is cheap. I think it tastes fine. Starbucks also has some instant coffee (Via I think) that I have tried and that was good too. I hope you enjoy the ice cream!
