HOW COME nobody every told me you could easily make your own ice cream at home? Huh? HUH? We get our Blue Yonder Book of Days for June, and there's a recipe for "freezer ice cream":
Take a quart of strawberries (or other fruit), a can of sweetened condensed milk, and two can-fulls (using the condensed milk can) of regular milk. Put in blender until smooth. Stick in a cake pan in the freezer for 2 hours, scraping the solids to one side every half-hour. After 2 hours, voila! Delicious strawberry ice cream! No need for fancy mixers or balls (balls again!) or churns.
I'm freaking out.
You have to understand, I eat a bowl of ice cream every day. EVERY DAY. I know that's shocking for some. I meet people (much thinner than I, usually) who say, oh, I allow myself one little bite of chocolate on Sundays, as a treat, and I am like, huh? I usually have that before breakfast every day. So the idea that I could make my own ice cream at home? Amazing. And also grating. Think how much money I've spent on ice cream over the course of a lifetime! Think how many times I've had to make an emergency run to Dairy Queen! My God! And all I needed was some fruit and milk. Lord. The revelation.
