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:

1½ cups heavy cream
1½ cups whole milk
¾ cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks

For the 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.
