Are you up for another Fantastical Food Fight?
You are? That's great.
Because this is a fun one.
A little fattening, but a totally delicious one.
The theme for the Fantastical Food Fight is ICE CREAM this month, which is good, cause it's July and in many parts of the country it's been hotter than ____. Although in my little part of the world, it's kinda monsoon season combined with sweat lodge/sauna and hurricanes.
Which is totally miserable!
I've been wanting to play making my own ice cream, without a churn. So I did what anyone would do, I googled and googled and googled.
I remember hearing about using sweetened condensed milk in ice cream years ago, and I found several sites that shared how to make ice cream using 2-3 ingredients.
This site, The Kitchn was one of them. I also looked here and here.
Armed with that knowledge, some heavy whipping cream, a can of sweetened condensed milk, I let my inner child out to play.
Some of the flavorings or mix-ins or add ins or whatever you want to call them.
Dried Cranberries soaking in Brandy. BTW, you can drink the brandy afterwards and it tastes like Cherry Brandy.
I have an idea, sorry got excited there.
Chunky pieces of canned peaches, mixed in with the sweetened condensed milk.
Folding the whipped cream into the peaches and cream.
I've been wanting to recreate a rum soaked raisin ice cream I had many years ago, and this was the perfect vehicle. But the bottle of rum I knew I had was gone, and I'm the guilty one. I use it to make my home made vanilla extract. So I soaked some raisins in some Cassis liqueur but it didn't work well. I mean, they were ok, but kinda meh. Although the raisins were delicious, but tasted mostly raisiny.
Then I got the AHA!!! moment and soaked some dried cranberries in brandy and that, well, all I can say is, I'm making more.
and another shot, cause you know I had to.
I did also make some peach ice cream. I'm just wondering if I need to call it Peaches and Cream Ice Cream?
Not everyone likes boozy ice cream ya know.
