Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream (goes Chocolate)

I love to try out new recipes no matter if they are ones I created in my head, ones I found on-line or in a cookbook. Over the years, I have tried recipes from a lot of chefs, one who seems to match my cooking style is Rachael Ray. As a mother, you've got to appreciate the concept of a 30 Minute Meal! Rachael Ray often says that her recipes are just methods. She encourages her viewers to take her recipes and make them their own. I "Lori-ize" almost everything I cook, tayloring the recipe to my families taste. I decided to combine these two ideas and what you see here is the result. Each week I'll create a meal based on a recipe and let you know what we thought. I will give you the original recipe and let you know how I "Lori-ized" it. Hope you enjoy Tasty Tuesday!

Blake's birthday party is this Saturday, so preparations are already in full swing. I am making the ice cream to go with his cake. I decided that I didn't want to use my usual chocolate ice cream recipe because it makes a LOT of ice cream. I decided to try turning my vanilla ice cream recipe into chocolate. I used Emeril Lagasse's Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream recipe

I followed the recipe exactly, and just added Hersey's Dark Chocolate syrup into the milk mixture. I originally added 1/2 cup of chocolate. I then tasted the mixture and decided it wasn't quite chocolate enough for me so I added more... probably about 1/4 cup that time.

ok... not my best picture, but I didn't want to dish it up at this point.

Richard and I tested it out on Monday night and it was really good. It tastes a lot like a fudgesicle in my opinion. It also made just the right amount of ice cream, in my opinion. I think this is a keeper!

I have used this recipe a few different ways. I use it to make vanilla... (obviously!), chocolate chip, and mint chocolate chip. I think this is the way I will probably make my chocolate ice cream. I like the simplicity of this recipe. And... if you have never had homemade ice cream it is soooo yummy. I have an attachment to my stand mixer and since this recipe doesn't have eggs it is just mix in a bowl, add to the machine and put it on for 30 minutes, put in a bowl and freeze.

  1. I better not tell my hubby that ice cream is so simple to make...I would be making it all the time for him and the boys! My favorite is mint chocolate chip! Looks delish. Have a wonderful birthday celebration!
