[b]Username:[/b] Lhethi [b]Category:[/b] Latte Faire [b]Entry Title:[/b] Fluffy Vanilla Ice-Cream *Note* This is made using an ice-cream maker [b]Ingredients[/b] [LIST] [*] 3 cups ice-cream salt [*] 8-12 lbs Ice [*] 3 cups sugar [*] 6 cups heavy whipping cream [*] 3 cups milk - I prefer whole milk [*] 1-1.5 Tbsp vanilla extract [/LIST] [b]Steps[/b] [LIST=1] [*] Mix sugar, heavy whipping cream, milk, and vanilla extract together, stirring well until sugar is mostly incorporated. [*] Once all ingredients are combined, carefully pour the mixture into the inner canister of your ice-cream maker. Insert dasher and place cover on top, making sure it is firmly in place. [*] Take your bucket and either set in on a towel or place it in a sink so that any ice melt can be easily captured. [*] Place your canister into the bucket and assemble your motor on top. Make sure it's latched in place. [*] Turn your motor on and let the dasher churn the mixture for approx. 2 minutes. [*] Turn off motor and start layering your ice and salt. You'll want to put a 1-2 inch layer around the canister inside the bucket and then sprinkle 1/2 cup of salt over the ice. This is followed by another layer of ice, then salt, until your ice is covering the cannister. [*] Turn your motor on and let it run for about 20-40 minutes or until the motor stops. I like letting it run until the motor stops because then everything is super fluffy. [*] Remove motor and take the the canister out of the bucket. Your ice-cream should be semi-soft, perfect for scooping! Or, if you prefer your ice-cream to be harder, remove dasher from canister, replace cover with seal, and freeze the canister for a few hours.

Someone told me it tastes like marshmallows but I haven't had a marshmallow in forever so...I can't verify that lol. Ice-cream goes really well with chocolate syrup, fresh fruit, or cinnamon powder sprinkled on top. It also works really well in ice-cream cookie sandwiches, milkshakes, and blueberry smoothies. It also makes a [i]ton[/i] of ice-cream. [img]https://pre00.deviantart.net/a54a/th/pre/i/2018/173/9/5/20180622_224700_by_lhethi-dcf63xp.jpg[/img]

[quote name="Equusina" date="2018-06-22 23:12:54" ]Forgot the label...beets almost gone... [/quote] This is so relatable. I’m not a huge fan of beets, but my grandparents like them. I’ll try this recipe the next time I make dinner for them.

@Equusina

That recipe looks really yummy! I'm going to have try it when my beets are ready to harvest.

Either grate the butter or cut it into tiny pieces [*] 1 egg [*] 1/2 cup whole milk [*] 2 Tbps heavy cream [*] 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered [/LIST] [b]Steps[/b] [LIST=1] [*] Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F) and line a large baking sheet with either parchment paper or silicone baking mat. If you plan on using foil, spray it first so it doesn't stick. [*] In a large bowl, mix together the flour salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Make sure everything is combined well. [*] Take out your butter and cut it into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal or is the size of small peas. Make sure not to overwork your dough. [*] In a different bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and cream together and then add to the dough mixture, using a fork to stir everything together until just moistened. Again, make sure not to overwork the dough. [*] Add in your strawberries with a rubber spatula and gently gold them into the dough. [*] Dust your work station with flour and then turn out the dough. If it's not holding together, knead the dough a few times. Once your dough is ready, shape it into a circle. You can do one circle, if you want large scones or two smaller circles if you want smaller scones. [*] Cut the dough into wedges and then transfer them to your baking sheet, making sure to keep some space between them. [*] Mix together a little milk and cream together and then brush the wash over each scone. You can then sprinkle the scones with sugar or a little bit of salt. [*] Bake for about 18 minutes or until the scones are light golden brown. [*] Top with whipped cream and strawberries or eat as is!
