Blackberries & Ice Cream

Earlier this week at a family party, we had some great homemade raspberry ice cream. Our aunt that made it told me it had sweetened condensed milk in it so last night we tried this recipe for Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream. It's super simple, (just 1 quart half and half, 1 14oz. can sweetened condensed milk, and 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla). It doesn't have the smoothest texture, but the flavor is so good you'll still want to lick the bowl. We topped ours with blackberries that were tossed with a little sugar and left to sit until they were soft and syrup-y. Yum.

Just a side note if you try this recipe: I poured the whole recipe into my Cuisinart ice cream maker and it was a little too much...it was coming out the top when it started freezing so I had to remove some and put it in the freezer to let the rest finish churning. Next time I'll probably just make it in two batches.
