3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk
1/8 cup chocolate chips
4 large chocolate peanut butter malted balls, chopped
1/2 cup animal crackers, chopped
1) Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk, and whisk to blend.
2) Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze, following the manufacturer's instructions.
3) Add the chocolate chips, malted balls and animal crackers to the ice cream machine, when the freeze cycle has two minutes left.
Review: After last week's peanut brittle goodness, I decided to make my own concoction. My intent was to buy a slice of cake and add that to the ice cream base. However, the only slice the store was selling today was a lemon pudding cake. Hmm, I didn't think that would blend well. I then meandered about the store considering my options. I headed to the bulk section and found animal crackers. It then spread to adding the chocolate chips and these huge chocolate malted balls that have peanut butter between the layer of chocolate and the malted ball. Yum. The cashier and my husband reminisced about kindergarten (eating paste, the smell of Play-doh, etc) as we bought our groceries and my concoction earned it's name. This was way tastier than paste, by the way, which I never ate. The animal crackers were an amazing addition to the ice cream and the chocolate and peanut butter just completed the whole thing. This was pretty tasty!! And, it will be my last batch of homemade ice cream, as the machine is now getting packed and ready to be moved cross country. Alas, my blog will also be on hiatus in just a few short weeks, as we move. :(
