Chai-Spiced Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

Remember when I posted about this cookbook I got at Williams-Sonoma?  Well this weekend I attempted my second ice cream recipe from it.  I made chai-spiced milk chocolate ice cream!  You have to steep the milk and cream with star anise, whole cloves, cardamom pods, peppercorns, and cinnamon sticks.  You also have to chop chocolate to use (I used Ghirardelli).  It turned out to be quite a tasty treat!  I think that the spices made it seem more like a winter treat than a summer one (which was perfect because we're still buried in snow...).

Better Than Cannoli Ice Cream

We've found another fabulous flavor of ice cream.  Brennan's Market in Monroe, Wisconsin, has become our new favorite place to shop.  They have great produce - including peaches from out West.  When we were there over the weekend, we discovered Better Than Cannoli Super Premium Ice Cream.  It's so great.  It's a mascarpone ice cream with chocolate bits, cannoli pieces, pistachios, and maraschino cherries.  Yum!

Whitey's Graham Central Station

We discovered some amazing ice cream this summer.  Whitey's is based in Moline, IL, and they sell to Hy-Vee stores.  That allows us to pick up some of their yummy Graham Central Station ice cream whenever we want to...  (Check out this delicious photo from their Instagram!)
