Making Ice Cream Amazing

It's Friday night and you are needing to make your night better.  The year is 2020 and we are now stuck inside our homes and can only go out to the grocery store for emergencies in most of the United States.  So how do you make a Friday night special if you can’t get out and get your favorite ice cream at a restaurant?  The answer is you partially make it on your own. So there is a process you need to go through to make your own fantastic Friday night ice cream.

The reason I think making your own specialty ice cream is that it's a bit safer then going out to get it from a drive through.  With pandemic hitting its strongest at the moment across the nation, it is wise to stay as safe as you can. So the next time you leave your house for groceries, pick out some of your favourite ice cream tubs.  Don’t be afraid to go plain as well. If only vanilla is on the shelves which in many places is the case, because the availability is low in many states.  What you can do is go down the candy isle and grab your favourite style of candy box and get ready to have a great time. 

Now it is ok when you get back to the car to let the ice cream thaw a little bit. By the time you get home usually ice cream is a little bit soft.  This is perfect because now you are ready to start customizing your own ice cream.  So grab a large bowl when you get home and leave your ice cream out.  If it's starting to get soft around the edges you may just be able to flip the ice cream tub upside down and then let the ice cream go into the bowl.  Once you have it in the bowl get your favourite candy box.  Rather it's filled with nerds, red hots, or your favourite chocolate bar flavour and mix it in.  If the candy is large you may need to pull out your cutting bored and start to chop it into small pieces. 

I prefer getting reese's pieces because they are already small and will mix really well into the ice cream.  So once you have your candy ready, stir it into the ice cream in the bowl.  When you feel like it is well mixed, grab a spoon or thick spatially and mix it right back into the original ice cream tub. Boom, now you have an amazing custom ice cream that can brighten up your weekend!
