medium-low heat; stirring frequently until the pecans are lightly browned. Remove from the heat; strain (the butter will have a pecan flavor and may be reserved for another use). Allow the pecans to cool completely. Add the toasted buttered pecans during the last 5 minutes of mixing.

Cookies & Cream: Add 1/4 – 1/3 cup coarsely chopped cookies (chocolate chips, Oreos®, Mint Oreos®, chocolate covered graham crackers, etc.) during the last 5 minutes of mixing.

Candy & Cream: Roughly chop enough of your favorite candy bar

(Heath®, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups®, KitKat®, etc.) to make 1/4 - 1/3 cup of chopped candy or measure 1/3 cup of your favorite M&M® candies; refrigerate until ready to use. Add the chopped candy during the last

5 minutes of mixing.

CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

Choose your favorite brand of dark chocolate to make this yummy.

Preparation: about 1 hour (active time about 5 - 10 minutes), plus 20 - 25 minutes chilling time, optional 2 hours to “ripen”.

Makes eight 1/2-cup servings.

3/4 cup whole milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

4-6 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, broken into 1/2-inch pieces

1-1/2 cups heavy cream, well chilled

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Heat the whole milk until it is just bubbling around the edges (this may be done on the stovetop or in a microwave). In a blender, or food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse to process the sugar with the chocolate until the chocolate is very finely chopped. Add the hot milk; process until well blended and smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and let the chocolate mixture cool completely. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla to taste. Chill for 30 minutes or longer.

Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft creamy texture. If desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours to “ripen”.

FRESH STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM

Fresh strawberry ice cream is particularly good when made with farm fresh summer berries.

Preparation: 5 – 10 minutes, plus 2 hours for the strawberries to macerate, 20 – 25 minutes chilling time. Optional 2 hours to “ripen”.

Makes eight servings.

4ounces fresh ripe strawberries, stemmed and sliced

1tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

2/3 cup sugar, divided

3/4 cup whole milk

1-1/2 cups heavy cream

3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

In a small bowl, combine the strawberries with the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the sugar, stir gently, and allow the strawberries to macerate in the juices for 2 hours.

In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to combine the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes on low speed. Stir in the heavy cream, any accumulated juices from the strawberries and vanilla. Turn the machine ON, pour mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the sliced strawberries during the last 5 minutes of freezing. The ice cream will have a soft creamy texture.
