It's National Ice Cream Day!
Every third Sunday of July we get to celebrate the best holiday ever invented... National Ice Cream Day. In 1984, President Reagan declared the holiday and also named July National Ice Cream Month.
Because I work for an ice cream company, I have been known to substitute whole meals with ice cream when short on time during my lunch break. So I
do enjoy me some ice cream. But more than anything I love to experiment and play with flavors of ice cream at home.
I have been playing around with homemade ice cream a lot lately, Roasted Strawberry, Fresh Peach with Brown Sugar Butter Pecans, and the classic Vanilla Bean. I am all about very simple recipes and so all of the ice creams that I have been making lately have been based off of a No Cook Ice Cream Base that uses sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk and some sugar. That's it! Today I wanted to get a little bit fancier with a Honey Roasted Fig and Mascarpone Ice Cream, made with a cooked custard.
