Now, I am sure you are wondering what on Earth “Homemade-ISH” means. Let me explain. When I was brainstorming recipes for the summer I obviously wanted to do an Ice cream recipe because you know, summer. Duh. However, I realized most people do not have an ice cream machine at home and are not crazy enough (like me) to buy one just to make a few batches during the summer. Well, I have come up with the genius plan to fix that!
Therefore, I present, “Homemade-ish Ice Cream”! In order to get around the whole ice cream machine all you gotta do is take plain vanilla ice cream and spice it up with all your favorite flavors. Naturally, I went with a Peanut Butter Chocolate option along with Dulce de Leche and Strawberry, for those “healthy people” who want some fruit in their ice cream. *Can’t relate*.
