Peach Ice Cream
This post is for my buddy and co-worker Michele. I can take no credit for it -- check out the wonderful blog at Macaroni and Cheesecake. When I saw her post, I thought ohhhhhh . . . must try this. Could it really work? The answer: YES.
I used to have an ice-cream maker. It was an attachment to another kitchen appliance. We also had an old-fashioned crank maker, too. They both worked well, but have gone by the wayside. Making ice cream was such a . . . project. And who has rock salt kicking around, unless you live in snow country? When I saw this recipe, I was really intrigued. Technically, I suppose it is more of a frozen dessert than a true ice cream, but you could argue that point. It doesn't get much easier. Combine sweetened, condensed milk and whipped cream. You can stop there, or you can add a little vanilla or other flavoring. Then, go crazy. Chopped-up candy bars? Great. Nuts and chocolate syrup? Sure! Marshmallows. Coconut. Fruit. Just whip it up, and put it into a covered container. Freeze. I was so curious the first time that after an hour and a half in the freezer, I grabbed a spoon. It was like soft-serve. EXCELLENT. After dinner, we each had a small bowl. It was frozen hard, just like "real" ice cream. I made a half-batch, because I would rather have small batches of different types. I have a short attention span. Peach today; chocolate tomorrow. It also doesn't take up much room in the freezer. Michele, Mr. I and young Mr. K are going to be so happy when you make this!

Whipping the cream
Sweetened, condensed milk, whipped cream, a little vanilla and chopped peaches.
Into a freezer container it went.
