Cookies and Cream Ice Cream and a Craft


 We had an ice cream party with our favorite chocolate covered cookie balls at Nana's Cooking Camp this past week.  It was too hot to take a picture outside of  the ice cream for fear of melting all that yumminess.  I decided to use a pretty teacup for serving! 

 Even my 13-year-old grandson, Riley came to participate!  


 My son ,  who is the kids'  Uncle Mike , joins in and heads up the art part of the camp.  Little two year old Harper came to spend the day with us.  We like to start them out early in cooking and crafting!  Harper loves the cookie balls!


 We did this super fun project that I found on Pinterest.  You use 4x4" tiles (16 cents!!) from the home improvement store and you color on them with colored Sharpies.  After that you use rubbing alcohol and a dropper and drop  droplets onto the tile and see what happens.  It's very exciting to watch!  If you don't like your design, you can wipe it clean with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. 

 Here are the two that my son and I did.  After they're dry, you spray them with a clear spray to protect them.  The kids loved doing them, and so did we!!

Yield: 5-6 servings

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

My grandson, Caiden, suggested that we make cookies and cream ice cream, and so we did just that. It was a big hit!

INGREDIENTS:


  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:


  1. In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed, combine the milk, sugar and salt until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
  2. Turn on the ice cream maker (or follow the directions for your particular ice cream machine); our the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix about 15-20 minutes. At this point, the kids and I added the broken chocolate sandwich cookies, and let the machine mix it for a brief time. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.

    Your ice cream looks delish in that pretty teacup. Cookies and Cream ice cream was my favorite growing up, and I know the kids love it. Great photo of you and your family! I hope to teach Xavier how to make ice cream soon. LOL

    I love how you served the ice cream in a teacup! I really should get my own ice cream maker so that I can try to make my own tea-infused ice cream. The tile craft looks really neat and would make great abstract art pieces.

    You are having WAY too much fun with those kids (big and small!) -- I wish I had an ice cream maker but maybe it's good I don't haha! I have seen that craft but not heard if it actually worked -- so it does! How pretty and fun AND that if you don't like it, you wipe it off and start over!

    Another successful cooking camp, Kitty! Love the tiles, too. Could you use them as coasters, I wonder? I'm sure that no two are alike, and your grandchildren will treasure theirs. Hope you have a happy first day of Summer! xo Deborah

    What fun! We love making homemade ice cream in the summer! Our favorite addition is huckleberries (which can only be found high in the mountains here). I just loved the picture of you with your grands! And what a fun project to make with them too! Hugs :)

    Hi Kitty! Again I will say what a fun Nana you are, I am sure I commented such in the past. The grands look like they are having such fun, what great memories you are creating! I love those tiles, I think I pinned the same pin a long time ago! The homemade ice cream and cookies sound lovely. I haven't used my ice cream maker in years, you've inspired me to dust it off. ;)
