A Great Vessel for our Caramel Sauce

A great dessert knows no season and here are a few examples.  Take your basic vanilla ice cream, put it in a homemade dessert bowl that you can eat and top with one of our dessert sauces and you will knock your families socks off!

Basic Vanilla Ice Cream
1-1/2 cups whole milk
1-1/8 cups granulated sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1-1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer on low speed to combine the milk and granulated sugar until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Turn the machine on; pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.


Ice Cream Bowl
4-6 small good quality tortillas
3 TB of unsalted butter, melted
2 TB sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more if you like)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay out the tortillas and brush each with melted butter on one side.  Sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Using a muffin pan, pinch pleat one side of each tortilla to fit in each opening. It will look like a large muffin liner.
Bake until just brown and crispy, 5-7 minutes. But watch them, ovens vary.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the muffin pan. When cool and rigid, place in a bowl and fill with your favorite things like ice cream and one of our fantastic dessert sauces.
