Just a simple vanilla base, where I added some chopped up TJ’s chocolate covered almonds. Insanely simple, but wow, the flavor and crunch, what a difference!
ingredients:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 cup chocolate covered almonds, chopped
Trader Joe’s is the greatest. They have all kinds of things you probably don’t need, but when you see it in the aisle, you feel compelled to grab it. I develop some of my best recipes, just shopping and picking up ingredients that make me say, ‘I wonder what I can do with this?’
I thought these tasty sweets would be great mixed into a vanilla base.
Start by combining the liquids in a bowl, whisking in the sugar. Stir in the vanilla.
I pour this directly into the frozen ice cream maker. Once you get near the end, about 2o mins in, pour in the chopped nuts. If you put it in with the milks in the beginning, they will sink a bit. This way they get more incorporated.
Scoop out the ice cream into a freezer safe container. Keep in the freezer until it gets a little more solid, then serve.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
