No Churn Ice Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream
Strawberry Ice Cream Sandwiches
I made a no churn strawberry ice cream! It was so easy!
Process-
It couldn’t have been easier to make this ice cream- sweetened condensed milk, fresh organic strawberries (you can tell the difference between conventional farming and organically grown) and whipped cream. This isn’t your normal creamy ice cream. It does have some icy parts in it, but I didn’t have the tools to churn it so I took the easy way.
It was difficult to scoop into a ball. You know the classic ice cream ball? When I would scoop it, it would break into pieces. I decided to let it warm up and it got easier to scoop, but not to shape into a ball, so I molded it. Once I did that it started to drastically melt. Try making ice cream sandwiches with this…
As you can see above I used it for ice cream cones and ice cream sandwiches. The cones were easy. I set up my backdrop before then brought over the milk glasses and set the scooped cones in.
As for the sandwiches, I needed three people to help me. I had it planned in my head, but as I started scooping the ice cream and putting it in between the cookies I slowly realized it was going to be a nightmare situation. There was ice cream everywhere, chocolate everywhere, the sandwiches looked like shit. They still don’t look very good to me, but it took me about an hour to figure this out, so I picked the best out of the worst.
I think next time I will try a different cookie, something that is flatter and make classic ice cream. I have a mixer coming my way soon, I just have to figure out how to use it.
Taste-
The flavor of the ice cream was so delicious guys! It tasted like strawberries and cream! The texture was icy- I’m not going to lie, but when you get a bit of the strawberry it makes it taste creamy. The combo of the “death by chocolate” cookie and strawberry was powerful, it was so good, but very rich. Again I need to find another cookies to use for this.
Random Thoughts-
I’m loving Amy Schumer learns to cook on the Food Network. She and Chris are really cute together and the recipes they teach you are VERY doable and fun!
As I wrote in my last post, there are a lot of fires happening around Monterey. One started in Salinas, where I used to live, where my parents live, where 70% of the people I know live and it’s bad. I know 50+ people that have to evacuate. It seems like CAL FIRE is doing a great job at defending structures. I think it’s burned over 30,000 acres so far. The air quality is really poor so we are keeping our windows closed again.
There might be a chance of dry thunder- again- Sunday night or early Monday morning. That’s how the River fire started in the beginning. It was wild and very mid-west type weather. We NEVER get this type of weather, it’s scary! NO MORE FIRES! I really hope everyone comes out of this healthy and ok. 2020 has been the fucking shit show and we all need a break.
Let’s fast forward to 2021
