ICE CREAM FLAVOR OF THE MONTH
One of the most popular features of the blog back when I was good at keeping the blog up was the Ice Cream Flavor of the month where I experimented and presented to you a new ice cream flavor that you could make yourself every month. Well, in my attempts to revitalize my blog, and just from the fact that I love ice cream, and especially the ice cream I make (There is none finer. Don't believe me, come by and we'll have an ice cream making party!), and of course it's summertime; I decided to dig out my ice cream maker and give it a whirl.
So far I have based all my innovations on one base ice cream flavor: Sweet Cream. It is a knock off of Cold Stone Creamery's Sweet Cream ice cream, but it is my own perfected recipe. This is probably the best ice cream you could ever taste. But for those of you who want more variety in life, or more excitement, or more anything. For all of my recipes I use a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker. This is the type where you put the container in the freezer for at least 24 hours before you make the ice cream.
SWEET CREAM ICE CREAM
This month's flavor is Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream. I came about it when I discovered we had some bananas starting to rot in the kitchen and was trying to figure out what to do with them. They were too ripe to eat, it was too hot to bake banana bread, so what's left? Ice Cream!!!!

This turned out to be one of the best ice cream experiments yet! It had just the right amount of banana flavor, it set up just right so it was crumbly and flaky right out of the freezer. Mmmm this is what I call dinner, and lunch, and breakfast!
