Hey folks. Hope everyone is enjoying their tuesday, er, I mean sunday. Yah, that's it...enjoying their sunday. I know I am late with this one. Normally they post on sunday as the name implies. I just thought it was too silly a subject matter for a 9/11 post so I decided to delay it this week. So here it is in all it's wonderful ice creamy glory.Few weeks left for these posts until they morph into slow cooker sundays. I shall be sad to see them go and will look forward to their return in the spring. I shall still make and post ice cream occasionally over winter. Part of me doesn't want to stop doing these posts. It's one of my faves to do. That and farm fresh fridays are probably my top 2 faves.So since I had more time *scoffs loudly* I thought I'd do two versions of this one. It's sort of spectacularly (that's a word right?!) wonderful so I just had to do it. Mini-me has a very basic taste palette. She tends to like simple things. So most of my ice creams have not appealed to mini-me. So one of these recipes was made for her with her assistance in choosing the ingredient. I wanted to do a candy themed one so we hit walmart for school supplies (my bank account is now sufficiently drained) and made a side trip to the candy aisle. So recipe one is mini-me's ice cream. Recipe two is for the rest of us. I figured I owed her for all the ones she didn't eat. So this post is for mini-me who doesn't eat anything. All the rest were for B who eats everything in massive quantities. Having a 23 year old at home is like cooking for a diner I would think. They are always hungry, they finish every one's plates off, then ask for more. I swear he has a hollow leg. They both do. How can itty bitty little kiddies eat so much? It's the 8th wonder of the world if you ask me.
Mini-me's Cake Batter n Sours Ice Cream:Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup sugar
Pinch of vanilla salt (regular salt is a-okay)
2 cups heavy cream (this is whipping cream is your a Canuck, I have yet to see heavy cream here)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup cake batter
1 and ½  cups sour candy (we used red and blue tangy zangy sours, red is strawberry and blue is raspberry)
Directions:
In your stand mixer combine your whole milk, sugar and salt. Mix until sugar dissolves.
Add your heavy cream and vanilla and cake batter, mix again for a couple minutes.
Cover your bowl (I use tinfoil) and stick it in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
Remove from fridge and transfer ½ the mixture to ice cream maker freezer bowl.
Set the bowl on the machine, turn on and mix for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add your sours, making sure to add them one or two at a time so they don't clump, and mix for a couple minutes more.
Oddly the color does not bleed so hand mixing with this particular candy is not necessary.
You can serve immediately or stick the bowl in the freezer until ready to eat. Just remember to take it out about 10 minutes before serving.
MINI-ME'S REVIEW OF THIS ICE CREAM- "REALLY GOOD BUT HARD TO EAT CUZ THE CANDY GETS REALLY HARD. BUT REALLY GOOD. BUT REALLY HARD TO EAT. YAH".*mini-me walks off*
M + M Cake Batter Ice Cream:
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
¾ cup sugar
Pinch of vanilla salt (regular salt is a-okay)
2 cups heavy cream (this is whipping cream is your a Canuck, I have yet to see heavy cream here)
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup cake batter
2 cups M + M candies
Directions:
In your stand mixer combine your whole milk, sugar and salt. Mix until sugar dissolves.
Add your heavy cream and vanilla and cake batter, mix again for a couple minutes.
Cover your bowl (I use tinfoil) and stick it in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours.
Remove from fridge and transfer ½ the mixture to ice cream maker freezer bowl.
Set the bowl on the machine, turn on and mix for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Add your M + M's by hand and fold in gently. The color will bleed on this one so you want to do it at the last minute.
You can serve immediately or stick the bowl in the freezer until ready to eat. Just remember to take it out about 10 minutes before serving.
Both ice cream recipes are based on the basic vanilla recipe from Cuisinart. I use that as a jump off point for most of my ice cream creations. I have to say I really loved the m&m one. The pics were oodles of fun to shoot.
So folks, enjoy your week, eat lots of ice cream and if you're having nice warm weather still you should soak up every minute of it. It will be gone soon and replaced by cool weather which leads to cold weather which leads to freezing temperatures which leads to snow which leads to frustration which leads to fright driving anywhere. I need to move to Hawaii....stat! The end is near. I fear winter. Don't make me spend another winter in this cold Canuck land. Someone send help, or at least a snow globe of Hawaii so I can pretend this is not where I live.
Toodles and smoochies. xx

My daughter was gushing over all of those pics! She wants me to make very single one. I am supposed to be watching my waistline, Anywho, I am tempted and I love, love love. Looking forward to Slow Cooker Sundays.

This is the ultimate combo of sweet and sour! Love the idea of cake batter and sour candy-also the melty picture is so eye catching. Great post.
Emily Malloy
Delicious!
Shannon Milholland
Clearly we have a shared love - I too heart ice cream. My favorite birthday cake is an ice cream cake. My favorite dessert period is ice cream. These recipes sound super delish!
Peggy
hooray for mini-me's ice cream creation! Looks and sounds amazing =)
Malli
All of them look wonderful, but the melting colorful streaks of ice cream look amazing!!
Alison
I can't wait to do some of these recipes for our weekly "family" night. My kids will die. Thank you for the ideas.
Carolyn
That picture of the melting ice cream with all the colours is awesome!
Michelle
Oh my gosh! They all look and sound so yummy!!! Now, I definitely want ice cream. Stopping in from voiceBoks.com members to remember!
Nan @ Playful Decor
Not good to come here when on Nutrisystem! 😉 All those creations look soooooo yummy! The ice creams look really great - I always thought an ice creammaker would be fun, but when I've tried friends' ice cream, it wasn't that good. Now I have a place to come if I ever get one. And that pic of the sundae is incredible - just like a magazine! Thanks for making me drool! Coming from vb.
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love.
Cake batter ice cream is one of my favorites so this ice cream would be very dangerous around me!! I like the sour candy addition too! MMM, I want a bowl of this right now!
