I-Scream, U-Scream...You Know the Rest!

You may recall that one of my goals for this year was to get an ice cream maker and make my own homemade ice cream. I was lucky enough to get the machine for my birthday, and since then I've made two different ice creams. One of them was a chocolate ice cream, and the other was a honey one.

The chocolate one was a custard-based ice cream, which was a little more involved and had actual eggs in it (the eggs are cooked, so no fear of salmonella). The honey one was much simpler, but it was equally delicious.

I love being able to make homemade ice cream, it's great being able to control the ingredients you're consuming!

The chocolate recipe is from The Perfect Scoop Cookbook, so unfortunately I can't post the recipe. Here are a couple pictures from making the recipe:
