Spoon out 1-inch diameter scoops of your favorite flavors; roll in graham cracker, Oreo, or gingersnap crumbs. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer; freeze until hard. Warm up some good-quality chocolate and caramel sauces. Pour sauces into small ramekins, allowing 2 for each guest. Serve ice cream balls for dipping on a platter; spear each with a large toothpick to make things easier.

As a child, one of the best parts of my birthday was that my grandpa would make me delicious home-made ice cream in an ancient ice cream freezer. I remember that it seemed to take forever for that noisy machine to produce this tasty treat. As a vegan adult, I had been missing out on this tradition until recently. While at the store the other day I stumbled upon the ice cream maker of the new millennium. It's fun, it's fast, it's a mess, but it's worth it. This new age product is the Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker.read ... {Tags: News} {More...}
