Homemade Mint Chocolate Chip and Strawberry Ice Cream

I have the best sister in the world, who always gifts me with things she knows that I'd love but would never buy for myself.    This year it was an ice cream maker attachment for my KA mixer.    Yesterday was the last day of vacation and my son & I thought it would be fun to make a couple batches 

His request was Mint chocolate chip.   Since he has had problems with eggs in the past, I was looking for an egg free recipe and I found it from the Neely's on the Food Network site. I used mint extract instead of peppermint. This is my favorite of the 2, nice texture for a no egg ice cream! VERY minty, which could be from overenthusiastic measuring from the kid.

The second type I wanted to make was strawberry.   Picking time is coming and we've still got a good ration put away from last year.  I'll make jam soon, but in the meantime some ice cream sounded great to me.    This one came from allrecipes.com, Easy Eggless Strawberry Ice Cream. Good, texture is a little more grainy but that could be because the attachment hadn't totally refrozen yet. Next time I'd use sweetened condensed milk instead of whole milk.



                     
Mint chocolate chip ice cream

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2               cups  sweetened condensed milk -- chilled
  2               cups  heavy whipping cream -- chilled
  1 1/2      teaspoons  peppermint extract (used mint)
     1/8      teaspoon  green food coloring -had none, Jake mixed some with blue & yellow :)
  1                cup  mini morsel chocolate chips
                        Garnish:
                        Hot fudge sauce
                        Whipped cream
                        Shaved milk chocolate

Mix the milk, cream, peppermint extract and green food coloring together in a large liquid measuring cup and refrigerate until cold. Turn your ice cream machine on and pour in the cream mixture. Churn until the mixture looks slushy like soft serve, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the chocolate morsels.

Transfer the ice cream to another container and put plastic wrap on top of the ice cream. Cover the container tightly with a lid. Freeze for several hours until firm enough to scoop.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
