Ok I’m going to make this really simple.  If you own any kind of ice cream maker, go make your family some chocolate ice cream.  Just nothing like it.  This past week, I made two different kinds.  The ultimate Alton Brown’s chocolate ice cream and the “Frosty Style” Chocolate Soft Serve.  For the Alton recipe, I stirred in a couple handfuls of crumbled leftover brownies and popped in the freezer for a few hours to harden up.  Off the hook good!!  The only caution with this one is to pay close attention to the ice cream maker and turn it off as soon as the mixture looks like soft-serve.  There is so much cream in the recipe that it can quickly turn into chocolate butter.

Here’s the frosty style recipe. Tastes just like a Wendy’s Frosty.

-Combine 8 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 2 quarts chocolate milk and 8 oz. Cool Whip (thawed).  Stir it with a whisk to combine more easily.  Freeze like usual in your ice cream maker and serve right away.  Makes about 3 quarts. Kids will swoon!
