From Daryl aka Avery:
For a barbecue, you have to have a good dessert! Yes, you can do fun things like skewer some fruit kebabs or fruit and brownies. But homemade ice cream, to me, just makes the barbecue a party!
I have been making homemade ice cream for years. It's a passion. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved ice cream. I once caught my father eating ice cream right out of the container, and he grinned, and said it was "medicine." Flash forward, years later, when my soon to be husband caught me eating ice cream right out of the container.
He: "Um, what are you doing? It's 7 a.m."
Note: My dad ate it late at night. After he went to bed he would sneak out. Me? I like it for breakfast!
I: "Um, it's medicine."
He: "Oh, really? Who established that declaration?"
I: "Um Dr. Daryl?"
To this day, I'm teasingly referred to as Dr. Daryl. I have lots of good potions to heal your ills. I also still call ice cream medicine.
Choco-strawberry
Ice Cream
(serves 6-8)
1 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons half and half
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated low-fat milk
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup strawberry jam (homemade or jar * see notes below)
1/4 cup chocolate sauce (homemade or jar * see notes below)
In a saucepan, over medium heat,
cook whipping cream, half and half, ¼ cup of sugar, salt, and evaporated milk. Cook
for 3-5 minutes, until tiny bubbles form around the edges. DO NOT BOIL.
In a medium bowl, combine the
remaining ½ cup sugar and egg yolks. Stir well. Gradually add the hot milk
mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
Return the mixture to the
saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until tiny bubbles form again.
DO NOT BOIL.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Cool at room temperature and then set in refrigerator for 2 hours.
Pour chilled mixture into ice
cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. (I use a Cuisinart counter top style and love it!)
Transfer half of the ice cream
to a freezer-safe container, then spread half of the strawberry sauce and
chocolate sauce on top. Top with remaining ice cream, then remaining strawberry
and chocolate sauce. Using a knife, swirl the sweet treats through the ice
cream.
Cover and freeze for at least 2
hours.
For the chocolate sauce, I didn't use store-bought. I melted down leftover chocolate icing from my yellow cake and chocolate icing recipe. Here's the LINK
Here's a LINK to my strawberry passion breeze ice cream recipe. You'll see how to cook strawberries here, if you don't want to use a jar of strawberry preserves.

ReplyDeleteDaniele, you are welcome. Peach ice cream. One of my favorites! I think I'll buy some peaches today! ~ Daryl
DeleteI love vanilla Swiss almond from Haagen Dazs.
ReplyDeletekaren(dot)kenyon(at)rogers(dot)com
Karen, sounds delicious. But any Haagen Dazs is delicious! ~ Daryl
DeleteUnfortunately, I don't think I can ever get enough ice cream. Fresh strawberry is my favorite. I will have to try this recipe, looks easy and yummy. Thanks for the giveaway!

Sally, I love fresh strawberry, too. Can you tell I love ice cream? ~ Daryl
DeleteI love ice cream! It can be a traditional vanilla or the most loaded, gooey concoction. It can be a single scoop on a sugar cone or a baker's dozen topped with syrups, whipped cream, marshmallow sauce, and sprinkles! To me a dairy is my Mecca! I love ice cream!

Kathleen, you are my kind of pal! ~ Daryl
DeleteLove it! I like vanilla because you can add anything to it! Strawberries, chocolate, candy bars, cookies...... Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteangelhwk68@yahoo.com
That's for sure, Barbara. I love "adding." I love an ice cream bar, where you can pick and choose toppings. ~ Daryl
DeleteI absolutely love ice cream - it's my ONE vice in life! I fully enjoy it though as a balanced indulgence - no guilt. My favorite ice cream flavor is Chocolate-Peanut Butter. EMS591@aol.com
ReplyDeleteLiz, a balanced indulgence. Yes, that's probably best. ~ Daryl
DeleteI definitely love cream!! Last Sunday was National Ice Cream Day and our city had an ice cream festival. It was great to try flavours from new vendors. Hazelnut gelato or local strawberry flavour this time of year are my favourites. Thanks for the chance to win! grace dot koshida at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteAn ice cream festival? Grace, that sounds like heaven! ~ Daryl
DeleteOh my yes!! I could eat ice cream every day!! Tradition in my family is split...on my mom's side they always are a bowl of cereal at night before bed. On my dad's side of the family they always are a bowl of ice cream before bed! I fall on my dad's side!! The more chocolate the better! I do remember my mom's dad though making ice cream outside during the summer and hand churning it!! Come to think of it my moms5dad was the only one on that side of the family that are ice cream before bed! He was a coal minor. Would love to win! Love your books! Pucsbride13@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSusan, what a colorful family. I remember my dad making ice cream using a salt churn (I think that's what it was called) and it took forever. I'm not that patient. I really love my counter top maker! ~ Daryl
DeleteI don't really have a favorite ice cream but I do love ice cream. It was always a treat to stop at Dairy Queen and get an ice cream cone! dbahn@iw.net
ReplyDeleteDianne, do you love the hard shell on the ice cream? I think Dairy Queen does that. I know Foster's Freeze does it. ~ Daryl
