You know how I know I'm a culinary genius?

I didn't just put chocolate chips in the ice cream I made. I also put in peanut butter chips.

O.M.G. I need to make ice cream. What recipe do you use? Yours is really amazing.

[rjamz]

Really easy one. It's David Leibovitz's Philadelphia Style Vanilla (no eggs)

3 cups heavy cream, or 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk (I use 3 cups cream)
3/4 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour 1 cup of the cream into a medium saucepan and add sugar and salt. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the pot and add the pod to the pot. Warm over medium heat,stirring until sugar is dissolved.

Remove from heat and add the remaining 2 cups cream (or 1 cup cream, 1 cup whole milk) and the vanilla extract

Chill thoroughly in the fridge. When ready to churn, remove the vanilla bean and freeze according to your ice cream makers instructions.

Makes 1 quart

You are awesome. Don't let anyone ever tell you any different. How long does it take?

[rjamz]

10 minutes to put the whole thing together, about an hour to chill, and 15 minutes to churn. I add the chips a few minutes before it's done churning.

I can't believe I haven't made ice cream at all this summer. I need to get on that.

I think Top Chef just called :-). Sounds amazing. I think I will buy myself a good ice cream maker as a eventual weaning gift.

I have the Cuisinart one. Not too expensive, works well, and comes in pretty colors

Your ice cream was delicious! I planned to just feed it to Tyler, but I wound up eating it. Adding PB chips sounds amazing.
