Remember I mentioned I was tinkering with my own ice cream recipes? Well, this is one of them!A coconut-based (soy-free) rich, Chocolate Thrill Ice Cream with the addition of chocolate sauce and cookie pieces (my favorite cookie choice so far is the Triple Chocolate Threat Coconut Macaroons). (Yes, I realize this photo is hardly magnificent... but, please understand that I snap off photos with a standard digital camera, and usually in between runs to school, preschool, activities, errands... I'm just doin' my best with what I've got as a SAH mom, folks!)
The ice cream maker I use is actually an attachment to my KitchenAid mixer. See, there's my mixer with the ice cream bowl attached! I love how convenient this is!
Yes, that's a different color ice cream in the bowl... as I said, I'm tinkering with ice cream recipeS!The consistency of the ice cream after churning is quite soft, much like a soft-serve texture. It's best to pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours to firm just slightly before serving. Best to... but not easy to! I had to keep sampling along the way. :)
