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.

ReplyDeletesallycootie@gmail.com
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!

DeleteEveryone in our home loves ice cream. My favorites are chocolate, mint chocolate chip and any type of fruit based mix (especially peach). As a real treat we on rare occasion, get Ben and Jerry's when it's on sale as a special treat. For fun, we still make a small batch each summer with our granddaughter using the tin can salt method. That is really good ice cream. I have each of those book, but, if selected, would donate any book to a local lendung library. servedogmom@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteServeDM, so good to see you here. Ben and Jerry's - love their cherry garcia. ~ Daryl
