When I got home from school today, I started making peach ice cream. I started with Elsa’s Bailey’s Irish Cream ice cream recipe and modified it a bit. So far, it tastes good. I think I should have cut out some of the Half & Half, however, since the mixer became over full once it was done freezing. And it’ll be interesting to see how the texture goes when I try the set ice cream tomorrow.
3 cups of Half & Half (I think probably 2 1/2 cups would have sufficed)
4 peaches, peeled and then pureed
1 small pkg of Egg Beaters
3/4 cup of Splenda
Mix and pour into ice cream mixer. 25 minutes later, voila!
Some of the ice cream stuck to the side of the ice cream freezer bucket, so I let it sit a bit and later poured the somewhat thawed goo into a cup. Mmmm, peach milkshake! 🙂
Tomorrow, maybe, I’ll figure out the calories and whatnot. And let you know how the final thing turned out.
EDIT: Before you try this recipe out, wait until I get the kinks worked out. I ended up with white ice that tastes of peaches instead of peach ice cream. I think I sprained my wrist scraping enough “ice cream” out into my bowl.
How are the egg beaters for putting in a recipe where they won’t be cooked? I don’t know what’s in them… do you not have to worry about eating them raw?
They’re pasturized so they’re safer to eat raw than real eggs.
This sounds yummy, except: 1) I don’t know what Half & Half is 2) I don’t know what Splenda is 3) I don’t know what Egg Beaters are 4) I don’t have an ice cream mixer! Oh well, i’m off to go and bake fairy cakes now…
Heh – I was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote that entry, so I couldn’t universalize it. Half & Half is half cream, half whole milk. It’s sold as coffee creamer in the US. Splenda is a “new” sweetener on the market here. It’s made of a sugar that the human body can’t break down, so it tastes like sugar but has no calories. Egg beaters are egg whites dyed to look yellow. They’re a popular no cholesterol food item. Darn shame about the ice cream mixer, however… elsaf got me one for Christmas and I love it. 🙂
That sounds good.
