I made homemade ice cream
The Ice Cream Recipes Made:
- Carmel
- Beet-Poppy seed
- Chocolate
- Roasted Pistachio
- Strawberry Buttermilk
The Chocolate, Pistachio and Carmel were a big hit at my house, but my favorite was the Beet-Poopy seed. It was sweet and creamy, but had a unique tang to it. Be careful not to spill it on anything, it does stain.
