Milk Chocolate Ice Cream with Brownie Bits

Mmm, mmm, mmm, Mmm, mmm, mmm. This ice cream is good! I shared this with some of my family after a hot dog roast, and my Brother-In-Law, bless his heart, thought that this was some kind of gourmet store-bought ice cream :) Not that I blame him, homemade ice cream is the best! I need to take this moment to thank my brother who was kind enough to lend me his ice cream maker for the summer while he's off in California. Really, thank you! Just don't be surprised if I decide not to give it back :) Anyway, back to the ice cream. I've made this chocolate treat twice now and have loved it both times. 
I did change up the brownies the second time though and replaced them with the brownies from my previous post.  Perfection!  A creamy, dreamy milk chocolate ice cream with rich chewy brownie bites.  Doesn't get any better than this!  



Milk Chocolate Ice Cream with Brownie Bits
from Annies-Eats

Ingredients:
For the ice cream

8 oz. milk chocolate (at least 30% cacao solids), finely chopped
1½ cups heavy cream
1½ cups whole milk
¾ cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks

For the Brownies:
Follow the link to make the Chewy, Fudgy Triple Chocolate Brownies

Using one third of the brownies, cut them into squares to remove them, then cut them into small chunks. Set aside until the ice cream is finished.


Cover and chill the mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator. Freeze the batter in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once frozen, fold in the brownie bits with a spatula. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve.


* If you want to firm it up in a hurry, try leaving it in the frozen bowl and placing that in the freezer until ready to serve. Transfer to an airtight container if you are wanting to save it for several days.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I love this time of year when the temperature drops and it's perfectly acceptable to make and eat all kinds of pumpkin things! I've been meaning to try my hand at cake donuts for sometime now and these pumpkin ones were calling my name.  Unlike yeast donuts that require a few rises and fry up nice and fluffy, these cake donuts come together pretty quickly (with a small chilling period) and are more dense and moist in texture. The outside gets all craggy and crispy which is perfect for collecting all the sugary glaze.  Such a delicious combo of textures and perfectly flavored with pumpkin and spices.  We loved these!! Note: I tried making a few of these in the air fryer as an experiment and was amazed at the difference in texture.  Not in a good way.  The air fryer ones were much tougher and not craggy and crispy.  So stick with frying these in oil and you won't be disappointed.
