I’ve never been such a super big fan of strawberry ice cream. I’d never buy it at the store, I’d never order it at an ice cream shop, and I’d be resistant to eating it in a restaurant too. Fruit-flavored ice cream has just never been all that appealing to me, in general. But this ice cream… is different. Totally. It has transformed me into a strawberry-ice-cream-lover indeed. Maybe it’s because I added cookies to it? In any case, it’s darn good.
I explained to my husband that this ice cream was so good that he was going to want three scoops. And then I made him hold the cone up in the air like this while it melted through his fingers so I could snap a few photos.
So… kind of a crazy story: Our next door neighbors in San Diego moved up to the area of Reno/Tahoe that we did. On the same day. We both fell in love with the area and uprooted our San Diego lives to create new adventures in the mountains of Nevada. Isn’t that kind of crazy?? We love being up here together, and so do our kids. My RecipeBoy Brooks is the big guy and our neighbors have these other cuties. They all liked my ice cream a lot 🙂
I guess if you add Oreos to things… pretty much anything, it’s going to make it that much more delicious. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that while we were in the backyard eating ice cream cones, a BEAR was in our friend’s garage trying to get into the trash. So we learned three things that night: 1. Don’t leave the garage open at dusk. 2. When you hear the dog barking hysterically, you should probably be clued in that there is a wild animal of some sort lurking around. 3. Homemade ice cream makes everyone happy. The ice cream maker I recommend (everyone should have one!): Cuisinart 2 Quart Ice Cream Maker And this ice cream scoop is the best scoop EVER… it’s life-changing for ice cream lovers: Zerolli Ice Cream Scoop The scoop is expensive, and I thought I must be crazy for buying it (someone told me I had to get it), but I seriously LOVE it.
