Now that we have those great Valentine’s Day ice cream heart spoons taken care of, we need something to eat! And I have found just the thing! To be honest, I have never made homemade ice cream & it’s something I plan to tackle this summer.Â
But I found this fabulous Peanut Butter Ice Cream recipe that looks delicious. Try & let me know how you do. Also, do you have any fun stories about making homemade ice cream? I’d love to hear them!
