Creamy Vanilla Frozen Custard

This Creamy Vanilla Frozen Custard is absolutely Heavenly!! I've been making it left and right this Summer to go with everything from Cobblers to Pizookies or just to eat on on a cone.  It's my absolute favorite Vanilla Ice Cream! So creamy with an intense Vanilla flavor.  Since I've started making this I've pretty much given up on buying it.  It's cheaper to make and I honestly like it much better.  The base is so easy to make and churning it is a breeze with an electric ice cream mixer.  

There are quite a few no-churn ice cream recipes floating around on the internet and we even have one on our blog, but guys, those recipes just don't compare in taste and texture to Frozen Custard, in my opinion.  

So basically what I'm saying is if you don't have an Ice Cream Maker now is the time to go buy one so you can experience this deliciousness! 

Creamy Vanilla Frozen Custard

Ingredients:
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whole milk
1 TBSP Pure Vanilla Extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Dash of salt 

Directions:
In a medium size sauce pan, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together till smooth and fluffy. Add in the milk and a dash of salt then whisk until smooth. 
Over medium heat whisk the mixture frequently until it reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F. Mixture will be hot but not boiling and should coat the back of a spoon. 
Turn off the heat and stir in Vanilla Extract. Pour into a food safe container and chill for at least a few hours or until the mixture is cold. 
Remove the ice cream base from the fridge and stir in heavy whipping cream. Process in an electric ice cream maker until it is the texture of soft serve ice cream. At this point you can either eat it as is, or scoop it into a bread pan or other container and freeze for a few hours to have a scoop-able texture. 
Enjoy!

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!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...

Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Muffins

These have become one of my favorite muffins.  I like the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, so why not make a muffin out of it.  We like to make these along side an omelet or scrambled eggs or just have them with a glass of milk, juice or a smoothie as you run out the door.  I like using a nut butter to give the kids some extra protein as well.  Feel free to use milk chocolate chips, mini chips or whatever makes you happy.  An easy muffin, full of flavor and yummy goodness.  Enjoy!
