Two Great Chocolate Ice Creams!

Chocolate...what else could you want? 

Learning as I go..but I am discovering how easy it is to prepare ice creams!    As a kid, I remember it being a very big deal about the 4th of July.   And of course, we had the big wooden ice cream maker (photo courtesy Etsy) with the hand crank.   You needed to have lots of ice, Morton's Rock Salt and a strong arm.  We kids took turns because we knew that Mom's Vanilla Ice Cream recipe was worth all the work and time.  The first thirty minutes was OK...but towards the end...it was HARD work.     Then I remember after finishing...a yell from the kitchen window...."DON'T THROW THAT ICE ON THE GRASS".  We didn't know why but found out that the salt water killed the grass for the rest of the summer.   

Today, I am modifying the quantities and making smaller amounts.   It is so handy to have a Cuisinart 1.5 quart machine, I would suggest everyone get one...it is that easy.
