Ice cream and summertime seem to go hand-in-hand and July is National Ice Cream month - bonus!

Dating back to the 1600’s where the concept of flavored ices evolved, ice cream has come a long way from the flavored ices to the hand-crank ice cream maker to a multi million ice cream (gallon) industry per year. We now have ice cream cones, ice cream cakes, pies, sundaes, and about anything your taste buds desire. Trip Advisor shared their members top picks for homemade ice cream. Here are the details to one of our favorite summertime treats:

The Split Banana Company in Staunton, Virginia (VA)

http://www.brickleys.com/

Serving over 45 flavors ice cream, frozen yogurt, no-sugar added ice cream, sherbets and sorbet made fresh daily with only the best ingredients. Brickley’s has appeared on a “Best Ice Cream in New England” list amongst many others.

Hungry for some ice cream now? Here is a simple recipe with no ice cream maker needed. (Keep in mind that the advantage of using an electric or hand-cranked machine is that the final result will be smoother and creamier. Freezing anything from liquid-to-solid means you’re creating hard ice crystals, so if you’re making it by hand, as your ice cream or sorbet mixture freezes, you want to break up those ice crystals as much as possible so your final results are as smooth and creamy as possible).

Here is a great, very creamy recipe basic from http://www.kevinandamanda.com/ to give you some summertime ice cream smiles.

You will need:

2 cups of heavy cream 
1 can (14 oz) of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.

Add your flavors, toppings to the Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Fold in the whipped cream.

Place in covered 2 quart container and freeze 6 hours or until firm.

Some ideas for flavors and toppings could be ½ tsp cinnamon with ½ tsp vanilla extract and 3 Tablespoons melted butter, or try ½ cup Nutella with 1 cup peanut butter chips.

Now, I think I need to get busy and start celebrating with some ice cream . . . it is National Ice Cream Month after all!  Feel free to share your favorite Ice Cream Shoppe or recipe ~ we really can’t get enough of this wonderful treat!

    About Me

    I'm Amy ~ Owner/CEO of TWIG TRAVEL & EVENTS. Creating my business was probably more fun than work due to my intense love of travel, weddings and any type of celebration . . . just some of my many obsessions.

    "I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."

    My indulgences are many, but other than travel, I love creating, planning ~ be it travel or a beautiful dinner party. I hold close to my heart ~ my family, our dogs, fashion, crème brulle, quotes, writing, laughter and listening to it rain. You'll most likely find me sitting on the ocean with my toes dug in the sand in my free time just listening to the ocean waves. I hope you enjoy and become inspired of all the places to see and things to do!

    Disclaimer ~ The content on this site, unless specified, is my work.  I will always try to give credit and/links back to the site it was found in.
