I love ice cream. I love ice cream a lot. But there is one huge problem with it, it's never around when you really want it. Enter the ice cream maker. An awesome gift given to me by my brothers for Christmas. I haven't used it as often as I would like (yet) but I made it a point that my first recipe was the most important of all ice creams. That's right Peanut butter. It was fantastic. But on this particular weekend I didn't want anything super rich, I wanted something that would just hit the spot. Enter vanilla.
One of the big reasons I wanted to make ice cream, was to use up the heavy cream I had leftover from Easter. It was a few days away from hitting its best before date and I figured the only way I was going to use that much cream at once was to make it iced (that or have a really thick bowl of cereal :)). I think it was a good decision.
