I bought an ice cream maker thanks to Steemit, also a recipe! 

Hey guys!  So after my last 3 posts and a comment upvote from klye@klye, I had a bit of Steem dollars sitting here and got greedy. 

Two weeks ago, I took my son to his science class and we made ice cream in a bag.  It actually tasted really good and made me crave home made ice cream.  When I had come to notice the Steem dollars sitting here I decided it was time to get one.  I actually feel awesome about this whole thing.  I'm proud of myself for taking the time to write a few posts and actually earn something for my time.  

So here's just a little simple recipe that I made tonight to share with you.  I'll also throw in the cold coffee ice cream recipe I made up as well if you're a coffee lover. (Though I forgot to take pics of that one.)

Easy vanilla ice cream

Ingredients: 

2 Cups Half & Half (I used half heavy cream and half milk since I had no actual " half and half")

1 Cup Heavy Cream

1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

1/2 Cup Sugar

Mix these ingredients well in a separate bowl. Once ready, turn on the ice cream maker so it's spinning, then pour your ingredients in slowly. 

You can leave this to spin for 20-40 minutes.  I left mine in for 25 minutes and it was a soft serve consistency.  Put into an airtight container and store in the freezer! 

Coffee flavored ice cream:

Ingredients:

2 cups cold coffee (We make this by brewing a pot of coffee, adding milk and sugar. Shake and chill.) 

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup sugar 

Follow the same instructions as for the vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy! ♥
