Homemade Chocolate Chip Ice Cream














When my brother, Paul, came to visit for the weekend, we thought we would have some fun experimenting with the ice cream maker I got for Christmas! And with the mild winter we have been having here in NC, why not try now!
I looked up some recipes and decided to try a non-egg one for my first recipe. I doubled the recipe, and it served about 7 full servings (I like to think a serving of ice cream is at least three scoops!). Now, doubling this recipe wasn't the best idea... it started to over flow in the ice cream maker on the last minute! And then I forgot to stir in the chips, but I placed them on top, and I think that worked too! I froze it in a glass dish, and it tasted sooo creamy and milky when done! Next time, I will add some vanilla extract (to give the ice cream more flavor than just milk), or even some mint! Oh! Mint chocolate chip! Yummmm!
