We Can't Scream for Ice Cream - Our Mouths Are Too Full! - And We Have Two Winners

(Cookie Dough Ice Cream)

It just seems appropriate to celebrate the two winners of

our Cuisinart Ice Cream Makers with more

ice cream.

The winners are......

Patti and Allie at

Bramasole To Yearn For The Sun

and

Sue at

Munchkin Munchies.

I had just left Patti a comment that I had made her

Hot Chocolate Cherries

 a couple of hours before

the random drawing. So what a surprise when her

blog was randomly chosen!

Try the Cherries, they are incredible -you might want

to eat the entire recipe yourself!

It was so nice that one of the winners was a previous follower

and one was a new follower.

Congratulations.

Thanks for all the support taking me up past 200 Followers.

(Oreo Cookie Ice Cream)

Why make just one kind?

I decided to make four and invite some neighbors

over to help us try them out.

I could use an extra Cuisinart myself!

I have a Kitchenaid Ice Cream Maker Attachment

that I have used previously, but this time it

failed me.  That is twice in a row now.  It

just made slush. 

So, we quickly rinsed the Cuisinart container with cold water,

 popped it back

in the freezer for 3-4 hours and made the next batch.

We started with Cookie Dough Ice Cream

then

Oreo Ice Cream

 Chocolate Nutella Ice Cream

And Caramel Cashew Ice Cream.

We had a group of neighbors over with their families and

there was nothing left at the end!  Good thing we made 4 kinds.

Cookie Dough Ice Cream

2 C. milk

2 C. cream

1 C. pasteurized egg product - Egg Beaters

1 1/4 C. sugar

1 small jar marshmallow cream

1 T. Torani's White Chocolate Syrup (this is liquid flavoring

which can be found by the coffee section)

1 T. Torani's Almond Syrup

(If you can't find those, you can flavor it with

1 T. vanilla and 1 tsp. almond - the almond

is optional, but I really like it.)

Mix all of the above in the mixer.  The marshmallow cream will not

completely blend in, but it will in the ice cream maker.

Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.

Meanwhile - Cut 6 pre-made chocolate chip cookies - such as

Otis Spunkmeyer cookies

into small pieces and place on a plate or pan in the freezer.

You want these as cold as possible.

Place a container in the freezer that will hold all of the

finished ice cream.  You want everything cold, cold, cold.

When the ice cream is frozen, spoon it into your cold container

and stir in the cookie dough.  I also drizzled Hershey's Shell

or Smucker's Magic Shell (find by ice cream toppings) on the

top and stirred it in with the cookie dough.  This gives it

that chocolate flake or chip effect.

Quickly place in freezer for at least 3-4 hours to ripen.

Oreo Ice Cream

Follow the above recipe, omitting the Almond Torani's and

the Hershey's Shell.

Exchange Oreos for the cookie dough.

Crush 1 1/2 C. Oreos - more or less to your liking.

Place the serving dish and the crushed Oreos in the freezer while

the ice cream is processing. Spoon the finished ice cream into

the serving dish.  Stir the cookies into the

finished ice cream.  Place the dish in the freezer for 3-4 hours.

Caramel Cashew Ice Cream

Follow the above recipe, only substitute brown sugar

for the white sugar.  Omit the Torani flavorings and use 1 T.

vanilla (less if using Mexican vanilla), and omit the Hershey's Shell.

Exchange salted cashews for the cookies.

Lightly chop 1 1/2 C. salted roasted cashews.

Place the serving dish and the chopped cashews in the freezer

while the ice cream is processing. Spoon the ice cream

into the cold serving dish. Stir the nuts into the

finished ice cream. Place the dish in the freezer

for 3-4 hours. 

Chocolate Nutella Ice Cream

2 C. chocolate milk

2 C. cream

1 small box instant chocolate pudding mix

1/2 C. Nutella

Blend the above ingredients.  Pour into ice cream maker.

Place the serving dish in the freezer while the ice cream

is processing.  Spoon the finished ice cream into the

serving dish and freeze for 3-4 hours.
