Saint Valentines Chocolate Ice Cream
Today is the Feast day of Saint Valentine. He among other things is the patron saint of young lovers. What better way to celebrate his feast than a satisfying, supple, velvety, delicate chocolate ice cream?
When I think of homemade ice cream I think of the old time ice cream makers you used to hand crank. Everyone in the family cranked it and before you knew it, you had the most luscious, creamy, chocolaty, decedent ice cream ever. The ingredients were milk, eggs, cream, and chocolate. There was nothing like MSG or red dye #10. That is my kind of ice cream. Weren’t the good old days great? Things seemed so much more simpler then. Maybe it was because we didn’t know any better.
Over the holidays, I got a new ice cream maker. This one requires no salt or ice. Yes, you heard me right, no salt or ice. The only draw back, well not exactly a draw back, but you have to remember to put the canister in the freezer for a day or two. Heck, it basically churns on its own. I needed a reason to use it. It seemed that Valentines Day was a good enough reason as any. I think he would approve.

Hi Veronica! You are reminding me why I need to get an ice cream maker! Thank you for sharing. I hope you are having a day of sweet treats and love. Happy Valentine’s!
We LOVE making homemade ice cream – it’s so much easier than people think! You should check out the ice cream cookbook The Perfect Scoop by Lebovitz, it’s got a bunch of great (and unusual) recipes.
