Last weekend I made my first attempt at homemade ice cream, well – peach frozen yogurt to be exact. I had some girlfriends over for a “We Don’t Watch Lost” party (not that I’m knocking Lost, I just got off track a few seasons ago, and have yet to back on the wagon).
I pulled the recipe out of the pamphlet that came with my ice cream maker. Three ingredients total (2 cups of lowfat vanilla yogurt, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 can of peaches). That can’t be rocket science, right?
I’m not sure what happened, but after a half hour of churning, my frozen yogurt wasn’t much more than inedible icy yogurt soup. (?!) My girlfriend say, “So what, that’s a fancy mixer?” Perhaps I messed up by using nonfat yogurt instead of lowfat. Perhaps I should have kept it churning longer. But either way, you would think the ice cream maker would do more than what I could do with just mixing ingredients and throwing them in a Tupperware in the freezer, which is what I had to do anyway. The next day, the ice cream was a bit too icy. (Like when you freeze a Blizzard, and it’s never the right consistency again).
Turns out I made cold peach soup.
Ice Cream Maker FAIL.
I’m going to give it another shot this weekend while spending my Memorial Day on Lake Chelan in a house with 13 friends. Thought this would make a great float in margaritas. Hello Crazytown! I’m sure I’ll have some good pics and stories coming your way soon.
P.S. I took these pics on my new favorite iPhone photo app, Hipstamatic.
Currently Feeling: Junk food snack attack.
Currently Anticipating: Seeing Cari of Flipflops in the Rain and her fabulous significant other at SMC Seattle tonight.
Currently Loving: The perfect sweet and salty combination of raisins, peanuts and M&Ms in trailmis. Who was the genius that thought that up anyway? I need to marry him.
