choolate chip cookie ice cream bowls

For dessert we made cookie bowls and homemade vanilla ice cream. First we made cookie dough the can be found here http://www.tristastastytidbits.blogspot.com/2012/05/brownie-cookie-cups.html but we used half the amount of chocolate chips. Then we placed them on a upside down muffin pan

we quickly learned that you need to grease grease and grease the pan some more so they don't turn out like this

so we used the left over dough we had to try again with the extra grease

after they where done baking and cooled we figured out the trick to taking them off the pan is to spin and pull. Next time to make some ice cream. We used a recipe from Paula Deen Southern cooking Bible.

Real homemade vanilla ice cream

1 1/2 C whole milk
3/4 Sugar
1/8 tsp salt
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 C cold heavy cream
1 tbsp vanilla extract

first we place a bowl in another bowl of ice water to cool. then in a sauce pan heat milk, sugar and salt to a simmer mix 1 cup of milk mix into the eggs and then slowly pour the eggs in to the remaining milk and heat over medium heat for 3-5 min to thicken into a custard then transfer into the chilled bowl and stir until room temp. Add the cream and vanilla extract. Cover and place in the fridge for 2 hrs before putting it in the ice cream maker.

then it was time to assemble

We topped ours with whipped cream for a little something extra!!

And now its time to eat!!!!!!!!
