Made a big batch of french vanilla base, split it in half, and made two flavors the other day. On the left is “Sundae Funday” with chopped amarena cherries, sprinkles, and fudge ribbon. On the right is “Summer Camp”, which is raspberry with cinnamon graham crumb ribbon.
I have always wondered why there wasn’t a sundae ice cream and have finally made my dream a reality. Summer Camp might be the real winner though….I used a bag of freeze-dried raspberries from TJ’s that I ground into dust with my spice grinder, and one single drop of pink gel food coloring. The flavor combo of berries and graham crackers just makes me feel like being a kid in the woods in the summertime.
I lost my job due to layoffs a couple months ago, and I’ve been trying to enjoy the time off as much as I can by exploring whatever interests and hobbies strike my fancy. Making ice cream makes me feel like a benevolent mad scientist and I’m having a blast…..but I definitely need to start pawning off more of the finished product or my cholesterol is going to be in big trouble 😔

“Summer camp” sounds like an amazing flavor! A graham cracker butter or caramelized graham cracker would really take it to the next level
Summer Camp looks like a biscoff raspberry ripple 😋
Oh, they look *fantastic*. I think I’m going to have to try making a fudge ripple ice-cream, one of these days.
What is going on with that moldy looking streak in the strawberry tub?
Edit: I just realized it’s probably the bottom of the tub.
Those look and sound great!
I am working, but I still find time to come up with fun, high calorie flavors for my ice cream maker I got about six weeks ago.
I have decided my new venture will be making an ice cream cake. (Found a good chocolate ice cream cake recipe on Epicurious) I’m going to use Ample Hills’s cookies and cream recipe, and mix in their salted caramel fudge ribbon in it. I may have to increase my workouts to 5 days a week, and make them longer.
