Being the beginning of summer I thought I would include this ice cream recipe. Unfortunatly if you do not have an ice cream maker it will not be usable.
Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups light cream 1 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup sugar4 egg yolks 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In medium saucepan over medium heat bring both creams and 1/2 cup of the sugar to a low rolling boil. remove from heat. In seperate bowl beat egg yolks and remaining sugar until thick and even. add 1/4 of ceam mixture to yolk mixture and blend well, continue adding 1/4 of mixture until all is completely blended. return mixture to pan and place over heat, continue cooking until custard like (4-5 minutes) remove from heat and add semi sweet morsels stirring to disperse evenly. let cool and then stir in vanilla extract. refrigerate 1 hour stirring occassionaly to insure even cooling. scoop mixture into ice cream machine and prepare according to your machines diretions. makes 1 quart.

Wow, maybe it's time I invest in an ice cream maker :) Do you use it a lot?
