TWD: honey peach ice cream

I scream, you scream, we all scream for curdled ice cream! Isn't that how it goes? Doesn't everyone want a little curdle with their ice cream? If not, you've come to the wrong place. I really don't like making custard. I will continue making it to broaden my horizons and conquer my demons. Damn you custard. Half the time I spill the milk on me, the counter, the floor and sometimes the dog, when I "temper" my eggs. This time I tempered them just fine but something happened to my custard on the stove. I stirred and stirred and it continued to look gross. This may have been due to the fact that I'm easily bored when I have to constantly stir something so I was reading my book at the same time. So I have to admit, I was only paying about 5% attention to my custard, but I was stirring. After my arm got tired I quit stirring and gave up. I pronounced my custard as done as it was ever going to get and took it off the stove. 

I was lucky and got some peaches with my farm vegetables we have delivered to our home once every two weeks. These babies were pretty. I did some fast talking and got them out of their clothes and I was even able to get a couple pictures of them in the nude. 

So sexy. I then proceeded to chop them up and boil them. Let's just say they were none to pleased. I didn't save any to add into the ice cream as chunks. I don't do chunks. Chunks are known to make me gag. So no chunks. I mixed my peach and honey puree with the curdled custard and threw that slop in the fridge to cool. It was taking forever to cool so I gave it an ice bath. I put it all in my ice cream maker and walked away with my fingers crossed hoping that it wouldn't turn into unappetizing curdled ice cream. It didn't. It looked normal. And it hasn't killed me yet so I think it's okay.

I had the animals test it first and I then waited 24 hours to see if they keeled over. Kidding. Charlie adores ice cream. If he hears the spoon hit the bowl he waddles as fast as he can into the room and jumps on your lap yowling for a bite. He got his own little cone. Such a delicate eater that Charlie. 

This one on the other hand is far from delicate. She got Charlie's leftovers and let's just say that I'm lucky to have my fingers. She liked the ice cream too and especially loved the cheap cones her dad bought. No fancy cones for us, we had to stick to our budget.

This is a great summer ice cream. Now all we need is summer and it would be perfect. We all loved it. Thanks to Tommi at Brown Interior for picking a winner. Head on over to TWD to check out what all the other bakers/ice cream makers did too.
