Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream in a Food Processor

On hot summer days, ice cream is a must! For those that love the taste of fresh, homemade ice cream but don't have an ice cream maker, there is an easy alternative out there. This delicious, from scratch ice cream uses only a zip lock bag and a food processor.  Your kids will have a blast watching this delicious ice cream made right before their eyes.  This ice cream is perfect when served with some homemade Hot Fudge Ice Cream Topping.

  1. Okay, this looks awesome! I'll have to give this a try :-)

    Actually, there are quite a few things on your blog I think I'll have to try my hand at, I'm so glad to have discovered you!

    I wandered over from Pinterest, where I saw your blog title - it is the same as my blog's tagline: Rockin' Granola, a little bit crunchy and a little bit rock'n'roll. Great minds think alike, right?

    Now, I'm wondering if I could convince you to invent a Rockin' Granola recipe? :-)

    I'm subscribing and will be back for sure.

    Best wishes, Kara

    1. Kara,
      I am so happy to have you here and I love your blog name! Granola is a staple in our house and I have several recipes posted. I make it on a weekly basis. I think I will need to rename one of them Rockin' Granola! :) http://www.crunchyrock.com/2011/07/dark-chocolate-granola-with-peanut.html

  2. Summertime is one of my favorite times of the year to go out and find the best vanilla ice cream. I love all flavors of ice cream, but a scoop of true pure vanilla is the ultimate sophisticated dessert
