Nutella Ice Cream

I'm not sure who figured out that hazelnut and chocolate were the perfect combination, but whoever it was, I might should name my firstborn after them. It is easily my favorite flavor. The best cookies I have ever made and eaten? These right here. Why I never before thought to make Nutella Ice Cream, I'm not sure, but when I was looking for good ice cream recipes the other day, I was very happy to find this one. It was super simple - no eggs, no cooking, just a few ingredients to make a delicious, chocolately dessert.

The recipe I found only makes about 2 cups of ice cream, though. Whoever only make 2 cups of ice cream? Not me. Or anyone else with the last name (or former last name) of Rampey. So here is what I did:

1 jar Nutella
1 c. sugar
1.5 c. heavy cream
3 c. milk.

Mix all ingredients in the stand mixer, chill, and freeze in ice cream machine.

I think it might be better to use warm milk or cream to help the Nutella dissolve in the milk better. There is another recipe I also found that looks even easier that I might try next time.

I'm excited about trying some new flavors of homemade ice cream this summer. Next time, I think I'll try this one, for salted butter caramel ice cream. (Doesn't that just make your mouth water?) I'd also like to try to make some honey ice cream.

What do you think? What sounds good to you? Any interesting flavors we should try?

Yum yum yum! Must try the Nutella ice cream. I haven't made any ice cream yet this summer (therefore it cannot truly be summer yet!).

I think y'all should come to Charleston for a visit before we leave and bring your ice cream maker and that recipe.

Haven't broken our churn out yet this summer, either ... I'm suddenly feeling inspired to do it soon.

That sounds so wonderful! I bet it would be delicious if you used regular old peanut butter instead of the nutella, too.

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
