Homemade Ice Cream

Tonight for New Years Eve Pablo and I are staying home. We are making a nice dinner, playing Wii, and watching the ball drop. I decided to breakout the ice cream maker that the Woodwards gave us several Christmas's ago. We made Amaretto ice cream with almonds and chocolate chips...yummy! I used a base ice cream from a Ben and Jerry's book and made up the rest of my flavors.

Amaretto Ice Cream

2 eggs

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup milk

2 cups heavy cream

1/4 cup amaretto

1/2 cup almonds

1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet so it didn't turn out too sweet)

Beat 2 eggs until light and fluffy. Slowly add in sugar. Add in milk, cream, and amaretto. Pour into ice cream machine (I keep my main ice cream base of the machine in my freezer at all times so it is frozen solid). Turn machine on for 25 mintues. At 25 mintues, add in almonds and choco chips and keep machine on an additional 5 minutes. Enjoy! (Any leftover I put into a tupperware container and put it in the freezer.)

Finished product....YUMMY!
