--OR IF YOU DECIDE TO TURN YOUR MIXER INTO AN ICE CREAM MAKER!
Luckily only the last one fully describes us...
The other night I got everything ready to make homemade blackberry ice cream (mmm)! -- Rock salt, ice, and ice cream fixin's all in the maker! I put the lid on and it would not spin!
We then tore it apart to find the problem.
We found it! But sadly couldn't fix it.
(A tooth broke off one of the gears.)
I was not about to waste my 2 days of ice making and blackberries to a broken ice cream maker!
So on went my thinking cap!
The day before I'd seen an ad for an ice cream maker attachment for a Kitchen Aid mixer
so I thought, ha I could do that!
so I thought, ha I could do that!
In to the bowl the fixin's went! Baggies were filled with the ice and rock salt and then plastic wrapped around and around the bowl! haha!
Brilliant right?!? I thought so. :)
After a hour and a half it got thicker but not homemade ice cream consistency and I was not patient enough to wait [four days] for it!
So it was a bust!!
But don't worry, I borrowed an ice cream maker the next day from a friend and we still got to enjoy our blackberry ice cream! (though I'm convinced it would've tasted better on day one)
Our next ice cream experiment is peanut butter ice cream! I will let you know how it goes. :)
Ps... The Kitchen Aid ice cream maker is now on my Christmas list!!
