Ice Cream Maker Recipes

Here are some suggested ice cream recipes to use with your ice cream maker:

Chocolate Frosty

5 tablespoons of cocoa
1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
1/2 pint (250 ml) whole milk

Mix together the milk and condensed milk. Dissolve the cocoa in a little hot water. When fully dissolved stir it into the milk/condensed milk mixture. Pour half of the mixture into each side of the Ice Cream Maker. Cover and press the “Mix” button for 30 seconds. Press the “Freeze” button and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until the ice cream is just set (no liquid in center). If you wish to add stir-ins (e.g. crushed candy, Oreo cookies, etc) stir them in at this point. Consistency will be icy vs. creamy. Makes about 1 pint total.
