Ever since I saw the article on the Krispy Kreme Cheerwine doughnuts, I've been on a Cheerwine kick. It's not even one of my favorite sodas but I got to thinking about the homemade ice cream I mentioned that my aunt makes.
Since mom was making a trip to PA to visit me, I told her to bring the Cuisinart Homemade Ice Cream maker and a bottle of Cheerwine :). What a great little machine! You can make homemade ice cream in 20-30 minutes!! The recipes are a lot easier than the homemade too. I haven't had homemade ice cream in a long time, but I do remember as a kid that it took hours to make. It may not be the exact homemade taste if you compared the two side-by-side, but it was close enough that I couldn't tell a difference.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, well chilled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk, well chilled
- 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, to taste
- of course, bottle of cheerwine (we guesstimated the amount but at least a 1-2 cups)
Recipe:
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1-2 minutes on low speed.
- Stir in heavy cream and vanilla. Add the cheerwine.
- Turn on ice cream maker and pour mixture into freezer bowl (kept in freezer at least 6 hours prior to making) and let mix until thickened for about 25-30 minutes.
(a little melted down but still yummy!)
will this work in a automatic ice cream maker?
