New ice cream maker

This past Christmas, we were gifted an ice-cream maker.  And actually, our first attempt failed:

So, either our 5-ingredient base  (milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, salt) was not cold enough. Or, we didn't start the machine first.  So we refrigerated the base AND started the machine first before pouring the base into the freezing bowl.  Ta da!!

And it only took about 20 minutes or so!

Okay, I could not resist.  Waste not :-)

So yummy! We have little containers to put the ice-cream and into the freezer it goes:

Totally creamy and delish! 

Weirdly enough, we have not been making more ice-cream recently, not as much as I thought we would be.  Perhaps it's because it's still been so cold outside?! Can't wait till Spring!
