Simple easy and delicious. It's flavor like a rich vanilla ice cream, not overly sweet .
Ingredients:
1 pkg large marshmallows ( 10 ounces/283 g)
2 cups half and half cream
2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups heavy cream
Directions:
1. In a heavy duty sauce pan or pot place the half and half and marshmallows and cook over medium heat, stirring often to fully melt marshmallows.
2. When melted , remove pot from heat, cool briefly at room temperature and place pot in refrigerator to cool and thicken mixture ( perhaps 20 to 30 minutes or so - you don't want it over chilled just cold ).
3. When marshmallow mixture is cool, stir it again, then whip the cream to almost soft peaks ( please, not stiff !) .
4. Fold whipped cream into cooled marshmallow mixture and blend well with mixer on low speed or hand whisk.
5. Immediately place mixture in your electric ice cream maker following manufacturers instructions for making ice cream..
6. Variations: when the mixture starts to thicken in the ice
7. cream maker, one may add some well drained chopped maraschino cherries or I suppose whatever you like ( finely chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips etc )
8. Yield: 1 plus quart.
9. Note: recipe may be doubled. Please don't use imitation vanilla extract ; just the real stuff.
