Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream & Homemade Apple Pie – recipes
While searching for a vanilla ice cream recipe for Christmas dinner, I came across the most fabulous and beautiful-looking recipe with the promise of being creamy and not freezing into a solid rock.
This is the first ice cream I have had all around success with – flavor and creaminess. Wow..it is fantastic. I can recommend it whole heartedly…and I don’t like vanilla ice cream. Now, I am really itching to get my hands on a copy of The Perfect Scoop (where the recipe is originally from).
Oh, and it went really well with the homemade apple pie I made. The apple pie was ok…you can find my recipe here.
I also got to try out my new macro rings that my husband got me for Christmas. I have been dreaming of my own pair of macro rings since I was in 7th grade when I first tried them out on my camera – borrowed from my best friend.
So, on to other news…
Remember that apartment we were buying?? Well, we bought it and renovations are taking longer…and we have to move into another apartment. So, starting Wednesday, I will be offline for about 6 weeks until we are in our new home. So, while I may have some time to blog, I will most likely not get the opportunity to go online until sometime after Easter. Big bummer…
Ironically, I haven’t been very stressed the last few days and I am home with two sick kids, a whole bunch of moving boxes, and am coming down with a cold myself…and I just feel relaxed. Crazy, huh?
In the mean time, enjoy this delicious recipe!
Homemade vanilla icecream is the best! My father-in-law makes his on the 4th of July every year and everyone just loves it! This recipe looks fantastic! Yum!
oh wow your vanilla bean ice cream looks better than mine! glad u liked the recipe and its turned out well for you
favorite. dessert. ever. apple pie a la mode trumps every other decadence known to man in my eyes, and this batch of the goodness is stellar.
meanwhile, good luck in all your moving hocus-pocus!
I have heard so many positive review and seen so many delicious recipes throughout the blogosphere from Davids book The Perfect Scoop. It marries very well with the apple pie!
OH, ice cream of any kind sounds so good right now…
sorry I haven’t been around for awhile, I moved to the US Virgin Islands (I still giggle when I say that) for six months, and it is taking awhile to get settled. But i do think I am caught up, and will be back reading each of your new posts as usual…
Come take a look at my new blogs of Island life!
Gorgeous photos! It may still be breakfast time here but you’ve got me craving a big bowl of apple pie with homemade vanilla ice cream on top!
I am definitely going to try this one. My previous ice cream attempts froze solid as a rock. Hopefully, this one will work like a charm. Thanks.
