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
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have some interesting books from the 1300s ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the wealthy. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are now in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
