almost perfect scoop

Rice Krispy Treat ice cream
I finally made my first batch of homemade ice cream with the KitchenAid attachment we got for our wedding 2 1/2 years ago and oh my gosh. Why didn’t I do this sooner? It was so easy and so good.
As an experiment—because according to Rama the whole fun of making your own ice cream is being able to play—I made Rice Krispy Treat ice cream. In this fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants recipe, I started with David Lebovitz’s vanilla ice cream base, swirled in some made-up marshmallow sauce, added mini marshmallows and rice krispies. It was almost a perfect scoop, except that the rice krispies were, as I’d feared, mushy. So if I were to make this again, I’d add the rice krispies on top only when serving.
Next to try: Lemon & Blueberry frozen yogurt. And then Salted Butter Caramel Ice Cream. And, yes, maybe even Candied Bacon Ice Cream. This could be very bad. (And very good.)
I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>
I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
I look on the bright side.
I take photos. Lots of photos.
I wish on stars and on websites.
I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
oh I want rice krispy ice cream.
& i think rama is so right – how could you not play when making ice cream.
