Easy Homemade Ice Cream

Sometimes you run across something and wonder how in the world you've survived this long without it. This is how I feel about this recipe.

Two main ingredients. No ice cream machine. No rock salt. Easy peasy! Make the basic recipe then add in whatever you want. Make it your own!

Basic Recipe:

2 cups heavy whipping cream (whipped until it stands in peaks)
1 can sweetened condensed milk (folded into the whipped cream)
vanilla extract
Freeze for six hours.

So far I've made...
Rocky Road (unsweetened cocoa powder and salted, roasted almonds added to the sweetened condensed milk then folded into whipped cream. I also added spoonfuls of marshmallow crème)
Salted Caramel (For this I used a flavor packet from Duncan Hines intended to flavor icing. I used caramel, of course, added to the sweetened condensed milk. Then added about 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.)
Strawberry (Strawberry Duncan Hines flavor packet, mixed with sweetened condensed milk and fresh strawberries, cut up. I also added a few drops of red food coloring.)
Butter Pecan (Added 1 cup rough cut pecans that had been sautéed in butter, a little brown sugar and cinnamon. Let that cool, then folded into whipped cream/milk mixture.)
The possibilities are endless though.
How about peanut butter or nutella with choc chips added? or mint choc chip? Maybe cookie dough or birthday cake ice cream?

Joda Sauce

When I was a child, there was a restaurant here in town. It was named Joda's Restaurant and it was owned and run by a man named.....Joda. I'll bet you didn't expect that, did you? Well, they had a house dressing that was awesome. It was on every table, along with crackers. It sustained most of us kids during the long wait for our food. The wait wasn't really long, but as a child, it sure felt like it. The sauce and crackers were so good, that sometimes, we weren't really hungry for our dinner when it came! The restaurant is no longer there. Joda has since passed away, but his dressing lives on. My kids love it. I wanted to share with you all. Joda's Sauce 2 c mayonnaise 1 3/4 c french dressing 1 T Parmesan cheese 1/2 t garlic powder 1/4 t sugar 1/4 c white vinegar Combine ingredients well. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!
