Donut Nutella Milkshake

September 24, 2015 by Jenn

 If there is anything better than Nutella, it’s Nutella combined with a donut, Hershey’s chocolate sauce and ice cream to create a Donut Nutella Milkshake.  It’s a milkshake of epic levels.  I don’t like to throw that ‘epic’ word around easily…but it’s needed in this case!

Giant Ice Cream Sandwich Cookie Cake

July 11, 2014 by Jenn
I made homemade Vanilla Ice Cream a couple of days ago, and I had so much of it, that I knew I had to come up with something to make with it, in order to use it up.  There’s only so much ice cream that you can give away!
 
A couple of weeks ago, I was at a local store (The Superstore) and on sale was a silicone pan shaped like a giant cookie!  I didn’t know what I was going to use it for, but I knew I needed it.   My storage room does not need it, but I did! 
 
Fast forward a couple of weeks and ice cream plus cookie pan equals ice cream sandwich!  I wanted a cake-like topping and bottom for the sandwich, and I’d been wanting to use a simple recipe, sometimes called a “wacky cake”.  It doesn’t have any eggs, and uses ingredients that were easy to find back in the day.  The baking soda and vinegar combine as the leavening agent and make a light fluffy cake which is the perfect pairing for the ice cream.  As far as the cake pan goes, you definitely don’t need a new pan for this though, and you can bake the cake in a regular 8″ cake pan if you wish.
 
If you want to use homemade ice cream, follow our recipe here.  But if you prefer, getting yourself a couple of liters of ice cream from the grocery store works as well.

How to Make Vanilla Ice Cream with KitchenAid Ice Cream Attachment

July 8, 2014 by Jenn

Making homemade ice cream is a tutorial that I have been wanting to do for forever!!  I love ice cream.  Unfortunately it doesn’t love me.  But, I keep coming back to it, expressing my love, and never ending commitment.  It doesn’t matter.  It wants nothing to do with me. 

Also having love and devotion for my KitchenAid mixers, I had my sights set on the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment.  I had seen it for over a hundred dollars from a couple of stores, so when I found it on sale for $90 CAD, I ordered it right away from Golda’s Kitchen, which is an online baking supply store in Canada. 

I was set to love this attachment.  I always do that to myself.  I set myself up for adoration, and when it doesn’t live up to my level of love, I’m disappointed.  I think I thought that this attachment would magically make ice cream, pretty much instantaneously.  But, you actually have to MAKE ice cream!  Well, duh Jenn . . . life is not meant for laziness!

In my naivety, I thought I would just have to throw the ingredients into the freeze bowl and turn it on, and viola, ICE CREAM.  Nope, not how’s it done.  You have to warm and cook the creams, sugar and eggs, and THEN you can throw them into the freeze bowl?!  NOPE.  You have to chill the warm mixture first for eight hours, and THEN you can throw the mixture into the freeze bowl?!  YES!  Finally. 

Other than the fact that this machine is not a magic machine, I liked it.  You have to be prepared though since many of the steps require freezing and chilling.  The freeze bowl needs to be completely frozen before using it, and in the directions it says not to take the bowl out of the freezer until you are ready to pour the cream in- and they mean it.  I tested that accidentally.   If the freeze bowl is not completely frozen, the ice cream will not freeze, no matter how much you stir it, will it, or scream at it.  Trust me on that one.

I would also like to make a comment to the parts “namers” at KitchenAid . . .”freeze bowl”, “dasher”, “driver”. . . seriously KitchenAid?  You couldn’t have found better names for these parts?  It took me like a million takes to get those names right!  It felt like I was reading off Santa’s reindeer.
