Even in cool weather, there is nothing better than curling up with a bowl of chai latte ice cream. Warm spices like cardamom and cinnamon make this ice cream the perfect pick any time of the year.
In our house, we eat a lot of ice cream. And I mean A LOT of ice cream. There is always at least a gallon of Turkey Hill cookies and cream in our freezer (plus a few pints of Ben & Jerry’s).
All this to say, I consider myself somewhat of a professional when it comes to ice cream. This summer, I got myself a super inexpensive ice cream maker from Amazon and learned how easy it is to make at home.
After I took these photos, I handed Dan the ice cream code and asked Dan if he liked it. His response? “You need to take this cone away from me before I eat the whole thing!”
