Ice Cream and Flaherty’s Chocolate

I read recently we have entered the “eating our ice cream with a warm sweater” phase since it the author of the article stated it is no longer considered just a summer treat. As I started checking expiration dates, I realized my milk and heavy whipping cream were on the verge of “going south” so I decided to join the “sweater” team.

I am in love with my @cuisinart ice cream maker so the task to make the ice cream is simple. You only need sugar, milk, salt, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla to make the perfect foundation. I say foundation because, while delicious as a plain dessert, it is better to add ingredients to elevate your dessert.

We did our annual trek to the Best of Missouri Market where we loaded up on our fill of Flaherty’s Irish Candy. I broke up pieces of my On the Way to Galway Bay Irish candy which created the perfect topping. It was the perfect mix of sweet and salty to compliment the sweetness of the ice cream. It was an excellent way to satisfy my sweet tooth!
