2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cup milk (i used the 1% stuff that was, on sale)
2 tbsp cold water
3 each rennet tablets
1 cup sugar
4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cashew nuts (broken ones are fine)
6 each trick-or-treat size butterfinger ca, ndy bars
3/4 cup french toast crunch breakfast cerea, l
Directions
Dissolve rennet tablets in water (swirl the bowl until dissolved), set
aside. Combine cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla in saucepan and heat
stirring constantly to 110 degrees. Pour into the ice cream freezer
machine, then add the rennet tablet solution and operate the churn
for five or ten seconds to mix well. Turn off the churn and let that
cool for a while.
Take the butterfinger bars (still in their wrappers) and bludgeon
them with the flat handle of a knife (I used a heavy-handled bread
knife) to crush the contents well. Open the wrappers and dump/scrape
the crushed contents into your food processor (with metal blade). Add
the cashews and the breakfast cereal, and pulse the food processor
until the dry ingredients are just broken up and well mixed.
By now the custard should be set and cooled off somewhat. Turn on
the ice cream maker's refrigeration switch and, after a few minutes,
the churn. When the ice cream mixture is just starting to freeze,
pour in the crushed dry ingredients and continue to freeze to the
desired consistency. This will vary depending on your freezer, but
for me it takes about 25-35 minutes.
This is a really scrumptious combination, and could be varied by
changing the flavoring ingredients with other stuff you have around.

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, these, ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
