Bubble Gum Ice Cream

My earliest ice cream memory is a trip to Baskin Robbins with my Grandpa Zintz. This is the grandfather that introduced me to Pralines and Cream ice cream – my forever favorite as an adult, however my taste buds simply did not appreciate its awesomeness as a young child.

I remember ordering a scoop of bubble gum ice cream “in a cup, please” and Grandpa humored me as I carefully saved every tiny piece of bubble gum and took them home with me. Never had I had such richness as a whole little cup half filled with pieces of bubble gum.

I’m not going to lie, the very thought of all that saved bubble gum makes me cringe now. But boy, did it rock my 6-year-old world.

Whether you choose to actually stir in the bubble gum balls or simply have them on the side, the flavors here are so nostalgic, I can’t help grinning.

The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!

Creamy and sweet with a bit of tang, sour cream ice cream is bright and refreshing when served in a cone, over a slice of apple crisp, or scooped into a bowl and topped with a warm berry sauce.

Sour Cream Ice Cream

I figured that if buttermilk worked so well in ice cream, why not try sour cream in a batch of ice cream? I’m happy to say that the the ice cream turned out great. Just a hint of a tang from the sour cream lingers in each bite of this ice cream.

The first dessert I made that used sour cream in a sweet manner like this was a Layered Lemon Cheesecake, it has an irresistible sweetened sour cream topping that guests always rave over.

Similarly, a vanilla bean sour cream transforms a humble grape salad into something absolutely crave-worthy. While sour cream may not be the first thing I reach for when thinking of sweet treats to make, it’s a fun twist on the traditional straightforward dessert flavors.

Bailey’s Ice Cream

Calling all Bailey’s Irish Cream lovers: this Irish cream infused Bailey’s ice cream is going to make you weak at the knees!

Bailey’s Ice Cream

Whiskey, chocolate, and coffee. Is there any more tempting combination? It’s a classic for good reason, and it makes for one very lush (pun intended) ice cream.

Irish cream is made from heavy cream, Irish whiskey, coffee, chocolate, and vanilla which is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from being a legitimate ice cream base on its own. Alas, pure Irish cream will never freeze to an ice cream because of the alcohol content.

A little bit of kitchen know-how gets us around the problem, though, as we can amplify all the flavors that we get in a shot of homemade Irish Cream or commercially available Bailey’s Irish Cream. Adding a generous amount of Irish cream to our ice cream base does the trick.

If you want to treat yourself to a memorable dessert designed to impress, put a scoop of this ice cream into a martini glass and pour a shot of espresso over it for the world’s best affogato. That is a guaranteed hit!
