When I first heard the idea of fried ice cream, I thought “What? How do you fry something that is cold?” How do you keep it from melting almost instantly? But the first time I tried it in a Mexican restaurant, I thought it was an amazing experience. You really can fry up ice cream so the outside is warm and crispy and the inside nice and cold. Any ice cream that melts just oozes into the crust making it even tastier.
How to Make Homemade Ice Cream
People have been making and enjoying ice cream for centuries, so much so that it is almost considered an art form. No doubt it has changed a great deal since ancient times but the process used today is mostly unchanged for the last few decades. When you make homemade ice cream, of course, you won’t use the same process that big companies use to pump out thousands of gallons of ice cream to be sold in parlors and grocery stores everyday. Your process will be smaller, fresher and have a personal touch.

People have many reasons for wanting to make their own homemade ice cream. It has been done in one form or another for centuries. For many it has become a fun family event to gather the ingredients and congregate on the back porch or in the kitchen to churn up a batch of an original ice cream recipe. Some of us older ice cream lovers cannot help but remember good times with grandparents making ice cream with the old, hand cranked churn and we want to build similar memories with our kids (and grandkids someday).
Homemade Ice Cream
Ice cream and pizza, pizza and ice cream, they are two of my favorite foods. At first glance you would think they are very different types of food but they are actually alike in many ways. Both foods are loved throughout much of the world. Pizza and ice cream are staples of almost any occasion including birthdays, graduations, slumber parties, office parties, football tailgating and many others. Both start with a very basic recipe and can be enhanced with an almost endless array of variations, ingredients and toppings. And, perhaps most importantly, both can be made fairly easily from scratch at home.
