A Making Ice Cream

A received an ice cream maker for Christmas so we decided to pull it out and try it this week. Here is the recipe we used:
Ingredients:
1.5 Cups Blueberries
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
3/4 Cup Whole Milk
1/4 Cup Dark Cocoa Powder
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt

Getting ready to mix all the ingredients

All the ingredients minus the blueberries went into the bowl. Stir them together.

We took a 1/2 cup of the blueberries and mushed them

Added the mushed blueberries and remaining whole blueberries to the mix. Stirred then had to try the mix.

Placed the mix in this contraption and put in the freezer while it mixed for us for 3-4 hours.

 Then it said to leave in the freezer overnight. Then we had the ice cream the next day.

They all really enjoyed it. I even made fresh whipped cream.

 

While the machine was cute I don't think I'd use it again. It was really hard to get the ice cream out of it. The ice cream itself turned out really hard. I think I'll stick to using our big ice cream machine when we want a special treat.
