Homemade Whopper Hazelnut Ice Cream.

I love ice cream.
I would marry it if I could.

But really. I do adore ice cream.
Even when I have a toothache, I love a bowl of the stuff.

I knew I would be making a lot of new flavors.

Yesterday, for Thanksgiving, I made Cinnamon Bun.
It was delicious.
We snacked on it late into last night.

Today, we were buying bread and I saw Whoppers.
I thought "Ice cream." so I grabbed 6 packs. [The snack ones]

So here's what you need for Whopper Hazelnut Ice Cream.

[I forgot to put the Hazelnut Creamer in the picture. Oops.]

Heavy Cream, Sweetened Condensed Milk, [The basics for all flavors]
6 packs of Whoppers and 2 Hazelnut Creamers.
[I also added a little vanilla sugar.]

Whip the heavy cream until peaks form.
In the Kitchen Kid, I did it on 2 for 10 minutes and then on 4 for 2 minutes.
I wanted it to whip slowly to give me time to get everything else ready.




While that whipped, I crushed my Whoppers in the small food processor.



I mixed my Condensed Milk, Vanilla Sugar and Hazelnut Creamers together 
and then added the crushed Whoppers.



Then I added that to the newly whipped cream and mixed on 2 for 45 seconds.

Pour into a bowl and freeze for 6 hours.

Doesn't that look delicious?

Capturing Beauty ~ Precious Moments

Today I am linking up with Traci.



The prompt for the week is Precious Moments.
Patrick and Dutchess together is precious to me.

When she was born, she was the runt.
Patrick bottle fed her from week 2 until she could eat food.

Now, Dutchess is 3 and such a baby.


He loves her so much.

Good To Wow ~ Week 45 ~ Prompt Family ~ Edit

I'm really enjoying these little challenges I'm doing!

Good to Wow, hosted by Jill and Ashley is always fun.

Here is my SOOC and my edit.


I cropped in, Cloned out the people in the background and the pole over dads head.
Then I dodged the faces and the feet a tad, and adjusted the levels.

I like it. What do you think?
