Dry Ice Cream!

So since my friend Rachael and I are ice cream enthusiasts, when she found out how to make instant home made ice cream, we knew we had to try it! We just tried it the other night, and ended up ruining our ice cream :(. Since we followed this recipe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnORu5p9neY which doesn't specify how much dry ice to use, we used way too much, but we also had too much fun.

 

Homemade Ice Cream!!

Being the ice cream junkie that I am, I have always wanted to make my own ice cream. That being said, I don't have an ice cream maker (yet). In the mean time, I was determined to find a way to make it work without having a machine. I knew it would be a lot of effort but just made the excuse that it would taste better if I worked extra hard for it...
That wasn't necessarily the case...

Should read "cantaloupe" oops!

Boiling the cream and sugar

Whisk egg yolks

Puree and strained cantaloupe juice

Tempered egg yolks and cream mixture

Added cantaloupe puree to mixture

Poured in shallow baking pan to freeze for 30min, transfer
to bowl and mix,  freeze, repeat until desired consistency is reached. 

The finished product. I stopped mixing it after about 6 hours to go 

to bed, but this obviously needed more mixing. However it TASTES great!!
