I hate sharing a freezer. Besides the fact that there are large and mysterious cuts of meat in there, people will eat your stuff. Even if it has a name on it. I made a beautiful, perfect bowl of ice cream and spent time rearranging the scary meats so the bowl would stand up straight in the freezer. When I came back to retrieve it, the bowl was tipping side and someone had stuck their fingers in my ice cream.
Ewwwwwww. What would prompt someone to do that? If you are reading this, I hope you are ashamed. I would have gladly given you a large scoop if you had asked me. But noooo, you had to surreptitiously stick your fingers in there. How am I supposed to know what else you've touched? Yuckyuckyuck.
Ahem. Anyway. Let me tell you a bit about the blog I was assigned for Secret Recipe Club this month. It's called Crumbs and Chaos (I enjoy that name very much) and is run by four sisters! That's so cool. If me and my sister had a blog together, I think it would get very silly ^_^ I found this recipe in Becca's section of the site (Rebeccas unite!) and couldn't resist. I love ice cream, and I am terrible at making it. I thought maybe if I tried a new technique, it would work out for me? Totally yes. It's a bit fluffier and softer than typical ice cream, but it's great to know that I can make ice cream without a machine, huzzah!
Oh, and freezer thief? I'm coming for you.
No Churn Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
1 pint WHIPPING CREAM
1 can (14 oz.) SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
1 1/2 teaspoons MINT EXTRACT
3/4 cup CHOCOLATE CHIPS
3 drops GREEN FOOD COLORING
In a bowl, beat cream until fluffy (this took about 1 1/2 minutes). Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together sweetened condensed milk, mint extract, chocolate chips and food coloring. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Pour mixture into a freezable container and freeze until firm. See how easy that was?
Becca, the ice cream looks lovely. And I do hope u catch the person that belongs to that finger :)
ReplyDeleteSold. And mint ice cream is my fave! Think I can stir in some chocolate chips?
ReplyDeleteAnd how dare someone poke your ice cream? It's a crime against dessert.
The chocolate chips are in there, they just sunk to the bottom. And yes, that ice cream was poked. The horror!
DeleteYum! Sounds delicious, I LOVE mint chocolate chip. I made Baked Potato Ball Curry this month.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed this! I'd put video surveillance on my freezer if I was you and making this ice cream again :) Nice to meet you through SRC.
ReplyDeleteYou too! Thankfully I'll be out of the dorms in a week and I won't have to deal with these shenanigans for a while, haha.
DeleteWhat a easy ice cream recipe, as I do not currently (hoping to change in near future) own a ice cream maker, this recipe would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh man, can't believe someone stuck their fingers in your delicious ice cream! This sounds easy and I love that it's no churn.
ReplyDeleteA little grossed out that someone just randomly stuck their fingers in the ice cream...but glad you still shared the recipe! Will try this soon
ReplyDeletePinned it. Oh--and as for the finger poker: unless you live with 3-year-olds there is no excuse for finger dipping.
ReplyDeleteI like that philosophy, haha.
DeleteThis is by far my favorite flavor of ice cream, but for some reason I got sick on the Healthy Choice brand of this flavor. Perhaps I just need to have the homemade stuff in moderation! I have not had any since that sick day, but this does look tempting.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to make ice cream. I don't have an ice cream maker so I usually avoid it. This sounds do-able. Thanks
ReplyDeletedelightful! :) imagine how so few ingredients can make something wonderful! Visiting you from SRC! :) <3
ReplyDeleteWow, man, that looks gorgeous, and so easy to make.. loved it.., fantastic recipe.., great post for SRC
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! And doable for those of us who don't have ice cream makers! Good luck on your hunt for the ice cream thief!
ReplyDeleteI looooove a no-ice-cream-maker-necessary ice cream!!! THANK YOU for this!
ReplyDeletebe sure to check out seasonalpotluck.com May is avocado and asparagus month! http://bit.ly/JZGxpz We'd love if you'd link up any recipes you may have!
Ewww that's nasty. I would be pissed if someone stuck their fingers in my ice cream too!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I don't have an ice cream maker but always want to make ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYeah, go for it!

ReplyDeleteCooking with you in the SRC-B

Although we have an ice cream maker, I hate that we need to plan a day in advance to freeze the churner. So you got my attention immediately with this recipe. I'd love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely!
DeleteWonderful recipe! I am going to make this, this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes!
DeleteTotally hear your frustration, it's so sad when you would gladly share that people don't just ask! Lovely recipe:)
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely - thank you! I found this looking for a no-churn ice cream recipe and this was perfect! Would it be ok to put a link to this page on my blog?
