Ice cream is something I will never give up! It’s just one of those things that makes life good. It makes life simple for a moment to just be able to sit back on the comfy sofa or in the warm sunshine and enjoy a generous scoop of silky smooth, perfectly sweet ice cream. I can’t explain my addiction but at least I will admit it =). My all-time favorite is Cold Stone Creamery’s Sweet Cream Ice Cream. So, of course, I’ve had to figure out how to make it on my own at home. I’d have to say the recipe I created tastes exactly the same. I did make a change in ingredients compared to what they use, they use guar gum as a thickener but I didn’t want to purchase it so I used cornstarch in my recipe. The benefits of guar gum are that you don’t have to heat the ice cream for it to thicken, whereas with cornstarch you do. But the benefit of cornstarch is that it is a much more common household ingredient so you likely already have it on hand and use it for other recipes. To explain Cold Stone Creamery’s Sweet Cream Ice Cream I would call it The Ice Cream of the Gods. Purely decadent, silky smooth, simple yet unbelievably incredible, and the perfect base for any “mix-in.” My personal favorite “mix-ins” for my Homemade Cold Stone Sweet Cream Ice Cream are Oreos or brownies. I also love raspberries and graham cracker crust. Oh and Twix, okay okay I love them all but my top fav is Oreos. What’s your favorite mix-in? Pick your favorite and add it to this insanely delicious Sweet Cream Ice Cream recipe. I also love to eat it excluding mix-ins, it’s so amazingly good no mix-ins are needed, just a bonus if desired.
