On another thread here, a new member, Maria Emile was wondering about ice cream recipes.
Good idea!
I have some recipes from "Back-To-Basics" for frozen desserts that do not require stir freezing.
The only advice is to turn your freezer to its lowest setting 1 hour before placing desserts in there.
Here goes!

Traditional Lemon Ice Cream

Grated rind of 1 large lemon 2 cups light cream
3 tbsp. lemon juice 1/8 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
Mix the rind, juice and sugar together and slowly add the cream and salt. Stir well. Pour into refrigerator trays and freeze. When the outer edges are firm, remove from the freezer and stir well with a wooden spoon. Cover and freeze. Makes 1-1/2 pints


Chocolate and Cinnamon Ice Cream

4 oz. semisweet chocolate 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
4 egg yolks Pinch off salt
3/4 cup white corn syrup 1 Cup Heavy Cream, whipped

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Beat the seperated egg yolks and stir in corn syrup and melted chocolate. Heat in a double boiler and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Add cinnamon and salt and fold the mixture into whipped cream. Pour into refrigerator trays and freeze. Makes 1-1/4 pints.

Maple-Pecan Parfait

3 ozs. Pecans 1-1/2 Cups Maple Syrup
2-1/4 tsp. Gelatin 3 Cups Heavy Cream
1/3 Cup Cold Water Pinch of Salt
6 Eggs, seperated
Chop or break pecans coarsely and chill bowl for cream. Mix gelatin in cold water and set aside to dissolve. Mix egg yolks in a double boiler and add maple syrup. Heat, stirring constantly, to 180 degrees Farenheit, or until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and mix in gelatin. Allow to cool. Whip cream in chilled bowl until thick but not stiff. Beat whites with salt until thick. Fold cold yolk and syrup mixture into whites. Fold again into whipped cream. Add nut.s Freeze. Makes 2 Quarts

Orange Sherbert

2 Cups Sugar 10 Juice Oranges
2 Lemons 2 Cups Heavy Cream

Stir sugar into the juice of lemons and oranges until dissolved. Whip cream and fold into fruit juice. Freeze. Makes 1-1/2 Quarts


Frozen Fruit Yogurt

1 Qt. Plain Yogurt Sugar to taste
1 Cup Fresh Fruit
Simply mix 1 Quart of plain homemade or storebought yogurt with cup of sweetened fruit. Freeze without restirring. Makes 1-1/4 Quarts


Bon Appetite!

Here's one where you can make ice cream in ziploc bags.
I've tested it out and it works.

I only know how to make one of the frozen ice cream cakes- it might still be served at a known restaurant so I won't name it but will tell ya how to make it.

you need a nice metal mixing bowl- I think it would be the 2 to 3 quart sized one, lined with plastic wrap.
Then you need-
1 nice quart of banana ice cream
1 nice quart of Butter pecan ice cream
1 package nutter butter cookies
6 butterfinger candy bars
and jar of your favorite hot fudge
and good whipped cream
and good ripe bananas
Start by letting the banana ice cream get a bit soft by putting it in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour. While waiting for the ice cream to soften- take the nutter butter cookies and the butterfinger candy bars and grind them up to a rough chopped mix in the food processor - I do the candy bars first and then the cookies and then mix them together.
Now that your banana ice cream is soft and the candy is ready, you take the ice cream, about 1/3, and press it into the bottom of the bowl and then take about 1/3 of the cookie/candy mix and put a nice layer on top of the ice cream- put the ice cream in the bowl into the freezer for about an hour to harden it (the rest of the banana back too) next layer is the butter pecan ice cream (softened like the banana ice cream) you use about 1/2 of it and again top with another third of the cookie/candy layer let that freeze for about an hour and then repeat with the rest of the banana ice cream(again softened) and 1/2 of the last 1/3 of the cookie/candy mix- let the whole thing freeze until you want to eat it or at least 1 to 2 hours.
To serve it you unmold it and cut wedges (this can be made in the fancy bunt pans too for prettier presentation) pour heated hot fudge over each piece and garnish with the cookie candy mix and whipped cream and if you like a nice few pieces of ripe banana.

I'm sure that you could take almost any kind of ice cream and cookie/candy to layer into the bowls or bunt pans-- one that comes to mind is chocolate ice cream and mint choco chip ice cream with oreo cookies and pepperment patties chopped up as the cookie candy layer- topped with hot fudge and whipped cream.

As long as you remember to freeze in between the ice cream layers it is not hard to do and it makes a great presentation at dinner parties- you could cut the portions and plate them, put them back into the freezer till time to serve-just leave off the hot fudge and whipped cream until time to serve.

It does sound like a lot of work but is not really that hard just time consuming.
I'll bet that you could layer it in a small square pan and then right before your party un mold it and frost it like the dairy queen ones.

I just did dh a simple one for his bday this week. I baked a yellow cake in a bread pan so it would be thin. Then cut the cake in half and place half on platter. Slice chocolate and vanilla ice cream and layer on cake. Put 2nd layer of cake on top then cover all with cool whip and freeze. good and simple.

Sorry Blane:o But just get some of that no sugar blue bunny ice cream and sprinkle some nice ripe berries over it! We found that the hubby can have a bit of ice cream with fresh berries as long as he eats it with dinner- doesn't seem to geek up his levels so much-- not like french fries at least. Plus I make him exercise by walking after ice cream and the Dr. thinks that that is what is keeping his levels nice and low.
so eat a small portion and then walk for 4 miles!:D Problem solved!;):D

I'm a pretty good basic cook and am delving aa little into bread making and desserts.
Nothing like discovering a hidden talent! :)
