While this isn’t really baking, I usually think of baking as something sweet, and Ice Cream is sweet. AND this is my blog. So I make the rules. So now making ice cream is the same thing as baking.
I bought some vanilla beans a local cooking store. They were a little dry, so I soaked them in the cream and sugar to soften the bean.
Then I was able to easily scrape out the beans from inside and put in the cream and sugar mixture.
Major Blogging Faux Pas. I forgot to take a picture of the final product.
I think that is because Tom’s Dad ate all of the ice cream . It was that good!
