To celebrate this, the first day of Ice Cream month, it seemed appropriate to take a second crack at making some ice cream. I'm happy to report the results came out much better ...yes, cream makes a huge difference. Now, in the back of the Cuisinart Ice-20 cookbook, it mentions fudgsicles using instant pudding and low fat milk. Well, what if i mix that pudding with the regular ingredients? Time to play!
Dubba's Butterscotch Cookies & Creme Ice Cream
1.5 Cups of Whole Milk
1 Cup of Half & Half
1/2 Cup of Raw Cane Sugar
(I used up the regular sugar last time I played)
3/4 package of Instant Butterscotch Jello
5 smashed Oreos
Start the mixer, pour in the ingredients and let it rip. After about five minutes I mixed in half of my Oreos. Waited about five more minutes and mixed in the rest. Now I did cheat and add a smidge of Nesquik. It was an attempt to mellow the butterscotch just a little (I actually used about 7/8 of a package of instant jello, it was too much). The nesquik also gives it more of brown color from the original orange-tan color.
So, the verdict? Really Good! At this point, I'm thinking cookies & creme can be mixed with pretty much anything: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry ...and now Butterscotch! The instant pudding is definitely an interesting choice and adds a bit of smooth texture to the whole thing. Good stuff! So happy Ice Cream Month everybody! Don't forget, Sunday, July 20th is national ice cream day!
WHAT?!? Why haven't I read this recipe before? Time to go borrow my friends ice cream maker.
ReplyDeletehahaha, oh man this was forever ago. I need to break out the maker (I keep buying cream and then forgetting to use it)
