Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream

Evan is an ice cream MANIAC.  He loves just about any ice cream you can imagine.  So….when an ice cream maker came up at the charity auction at work, I had to bid on it!  I really wanted to make vanilla ice cream first but I was over ruled.  We decided to use the homemade chocolate ice cream recipe out of the ice cream maker manual and it turned out pretty tasty.

I will be branching out & making some other recipes soon.  Some I want to try are: Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream.  Yum!  I can’t wait to figure out all kinds of new combinations.  Maybe I’ll even try to recreate Cherry Garcia from Ben & Jerry’s (my all time favorite flavor).
