This is one of my very favorite things! I love ice cream. It has been a problem actually and I now I have to really watch when & how much I enjoy my favorite dessert :) But it is custard time in the Alton Brown book of teachings, so ice cream must be made. Mr. Brown has a recipe for chocolate ice cream with a little kick of cayenne. I'm sure it is wonderful, but sometimes chocolate ice cream is a little much for me so I thought I would change things up a little. I decided to use white chocolate instead, which I supposed is really a sweet form of vanilla. I used espresso white chocolate sauce and ghiradelli white chips.
the yummy vanilla & white chocolate sauce
then the white chocolate chips
custard form
into the mixer
then into the freezer
then the best part - into a bowl!
When it came out of the freezer I touched it and it was a little spongy and I got nervous but as soon as I started scooping I could tell it was smooth and creamy! I even got a perfect "tv" scoop to come out for pictures - I knew that was a sign of good things to come once I put my spoon into it. And I was not disappointed. It was creamy, velvety smooth and the flavor had that light milky flavor of a white chocolate latte. I could have eaten the whole quart myself, but I refrained. I even shared it with Craig. I will be making this again and again, that is a sure thing!
