Chocolate Chip Toffee Bits Ice Cream is exactly that – a homemade vanilla ice cream fully loaded with miniature chocolate chips and toffee bits.
I tried a few different methods of making chocolate chip ice cream before I decided to try simply using itty bitty miniature chocolate chips. Trying those mini chips was a game-changer.
Having discovered that little secret, I made a couple of batches of awesome chocolate chip ice cream in a row, before hitting on the idea of also adding in what was left in a bag of toffee bits after I made these Chocolate Toffee Fudge Brownies.
That ice cream was a late-night treat that we made on a whim. It turned out to be a fantastic flavor combination and we liked it so much, my husband requested the same flavor again last night when we were making ice cream again.
The most popular question I get is whether it’s possible to make ice cream without a machine. The answer is YES. You can make ice cream without a machine. Find the full directions here!
We’ve been making this ice cream for six years now and it is still a family favorite.
For one heck of an awesome dessert, I recommend serving a scoop this ice cream over brownies with plenty of chocolate sauce poured over the top.
Rum Raisin Ice Cream is full of rum-soaked raisins mixed in custardy vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum. This recipe is a little bit old school and a whole lot of creamy delicious.
Creamy vanilla ice cream swirled with rich caramel sauce, filled with chunks of crisp shortbread, chewy caramel candy, and dark chocolate.
