2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Cover, chill, and freeze according to ice cream maker’s directions.

First slice open 1 to 3 ripe cayenne peppers (depending on how close the fire department is) and remove the placenta and seeds, then chop fine. Then add them to a batch of the Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream mix. Be sure to let this mix age in the refrigerator for at least four hours before freezing.

2 cups milk
1 3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 cups heavy cream
1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough
2 cups light cream

Scald milk until bubbles form around edge. Remove from heat. Add the sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Stir in light cream, vanilla, and the heavy cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Freeze as directed by your ice cream machine’s instructions. Once ice cream has been through the entire ice cream machine process and is now a chilled soft ice cream, add the chocolate chip cookie dough. Just break up the dough as best you can with your hands and drop it in small clusters into the soft ice cream. Try to mix it around to ensure that the cookie dough is evenly distributed throughout the ice cream. Put the ice cream in the freezer for several hours
until hardened.

Comments:

I have mixed the ingredients together and just left it in a wide tupperware dish in the freezer until frozen, without the extra beating and it was just fine. This ice cream is one of my favorites. It has a smooth texture and you can vary the intensity of the flavor by how strong you make the coffee. Personally, I like it strong and will make the coffee by mixing 1 cup of a good quality, freshly ground coffee with 1 cup of hot water and letting it steep for a few minutes. Then I strain out the coffee grounds with cheese cloth or a coffee filter.

3 1/2 dl milk (may be lowfat)
2 1/2 dl cream
2 1/2 dl sweetened coconut syrup
1 tbsp fresh or dried grated coconut (optional)

Stir everything together and pour in the ice cream maker. Freeze in the machine until stiff. The quantities are right for the popular Italian Caddy ice cream maker which makes about 1 pint.

This is a favorite for the fall and winter holidays. Cinnamons and pecans in a rich vanilla.
Prepare a batch of Ultimate Butter Pecan (see recipe) Ice Cream, but use an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and add 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon to the base mix.
