3 Decadent Ice Cream Recipes

As the summer days wind down, we have to make the most of them and enjoy every last drop. If you read my Spring Sorbet post earlier this year, you know that I have a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker.  I originally purchased it to make sorbet but once I had made a few sorbets…I decided to try making ice cream. I was shocked at how simple it was and how fresh (and delicious) it tasted. There is no question that these 3 decadent recipes are not on the “lighter side” but are certainly perfect for the times when you want to indulge.  To really kick it up a notch, put them in waffle cones and you have a perfect treat. TIP: be sure to freeze the ice cream maker insert at least 24 hours prior to using!
