homemade ice cream

i may be in trouble, i purchased a homemade ice cream maker. i've wanted one for years but i just couldn't justify the cost. well i found a cuisinart frozen yogurt, ice cream & sorbet maker at costco for $30 and i couldn't pass it up.

the reason i may be in trouble you ask? pretty sure a few extra pounds could be added to my waistline. i've had it for less than a week and have already made two different kinds. i just love ice cream and can't get enough of it.

the first one i attempted was salty caramel. it was good but i think i burnt the sugar, which i realize is how you make caramel sauce but i think it got a little too much heat. i really want to give it another try because the flavor combination works so great together.


the second one i created was strawberry. it doesn't feel any more than summer than enjoying a delicious bowl of strawberry ice cream on a hot day. it was rich and creamy and full of flavor.

i've decided the key to a good homemade ice cream is find a good base recipe and then you can pretty much alter it to whatever flavor you desire. looks like i'll need to complete some research to get to find the perfect base...
