I had grand plans. After years of wanting an ice cream maker, trying to convince myself I needed one, jealous of how everyone else seemed to be casually throwing together awesome ice creams to accompany all their desserts, Mom finally sent us one for our anniversary- just in time for this week's TWD, Honey Peach Ice Cream. Boy was I excited. Would it be ice cream sandwiches? A topping for that peach cobbler recipe I've been wanting to try? Maybe topped with caramelized peach sauce?I made the peach puree and the custard base, and turned on my new toy. 25 minutes later I scooped the ice cream into my new, adorable little pint container, popped it in the freezer and waited. 2 hours later I checked on it and it was still soft. An hour later, still too soft, and I had tell my husband to have a mango for dessert instead of the delicious ice cream I had previously promised. Finally by the next night, after spicy drunken noodles, the we could wait no longer. We dove in to perfectly peach scented, velvety soft ice cream and it was good. So good I was planning a second helping when I realized that not only was there not enough for seconds, but I hadn't taken any photos yet. Oops.
So, instead of artfully arranged scoops in cute bowls, or stacks of little sandwiches, give you the dregs of the carton...which will be consumed as soon as I've taken this last photo.
Yeah I feel a little guilty, guess you'll just have to get your own. Go here to find out how.

Hahah well either way, it looks like it tasted great!
Oh...that little pint carton is just so cute.
Your post made me hungry - honey peach ice cream, mango, spicy drunken noodles...
I want one of those containers now! Funny post!
Hee, hee! I've totally done that before! Love the carton, btw! :)
I think the picture is just awesome! There are so many "perfect scoop" shots out there today!
I'm glad it was a success for you. Love the container. I may have to get one.
Happy Anniversary!
What a great container from C&B. I have a feeling that they will see an increase in sales for that one, and soon. I definitely want to get a couple of those. Nice job on the ice cream. It was really delicious.
That photos says it was yummy better than words could ever do! Congrats on your new ice cream maker, now go forth and churn, baby, churn! :-)
How funny- I'd have eaten it all soupy and everything :) Ice cream makers are such fun in the summertime. Mine runs nonstop (if I'm on a break from my diet!)
