One of my favorite desserts to make is ice cream. Once you have a recipe you love, you can add flavors and mix things up a little. It is also one of the best treats to enjoy with a movie! When I found this chocolate ice cream recipe, I decided to give it a try. Luckily I was able to find my ice cream maker in storage, and it has proved to be one of the best kitchen investments. For a reasonably priced alternative, I researched and found this Cuisinart ice cream maker. It can also be used to make frozen yogurt and sorbet. Next on my ice cream to-make list is coffee ice cream and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
