Sunday evening I finally convinced a friend of mine to make homemade ice cream with me.  Since he’s a big licorice fan we used pure anise flavoring in place of vanilla.  Normally I use half and half to make my homemade ice cream but I opted for whole heavy cream because it turns into ice cream faster (and I’m impatient).  Next time, however, I will remember to cut the heavy cream with milk or half and half because it left a less than desirable texture in your mouth.

Here was our recipe:

32oz heavy cream

2/3 cup sugar

3 tablespoons anise flavoring

And here is what our ice cream looked like in the end:
