Sweet Melissa Sundays Rewind ~ Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream
Now I know it’s totally the wrong time of year to be writing about this but I can’t help it. I’m a hot-blooded Latina who would take a bowl of ice cream over apple pie any day. Just because summer is over, doesn’t mean you can enjoy ice cream. So for Sweet Melissa Sundays this week I bring to you all Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream, which was picked back in July by Karen and not this week’s pick by Cristine of Cooking with Cristine of Apple Orchard Pecan Crumble (sorry Cristine). Make sure to check out Cristine’s blog though, as I’m sure her crumble will turn out as beautiful as all of her other creations.
Not too much to say about this ice cream other than the fact that it was FANTASTIC. My ice cream maker investment earlier this year was one of my best because with it, making ice cream and sorbets is super easy. Making this creation could not have been easier and the use of brown sugar gave the ice cream great depth of flavor. I am the self-proclaimed vanilla ice cream expert and this one was like none other I have ever had. The best way to describe the taste – you know how great brown sugar smells…well, that’s how the ice cream tastes.
Melissa Murphy offered suggestions on how to jazz up this treat but I thought it was great all by itself. Make sure to check out Karen’s blog for the recipe or pick up a copy of the book.

I made this ice cream to go with the Pecan Crumble. It is soo good! My ice cream maker is one of my favorite kitchen appliances.

Oehhh that looks so good! I especially love ice cream during cold days! Is that crazy?! I haven't made ice cream before but I do own an ice cream-maker. I'm thinking maybe I should get started!

I just knew the ice cream would have been delicious with the apple crisp! Now I am kicking myself for not taking the extra time to make it, especially since I have a KA ice cream bowl. LOVE the picture!

Since making this for SMS whenever that was, I've made it 3 more times. It is better than any other homemade vanilla ice cream I've ever had!!

A homemade ice cream with brown sugar and vanilla sounds incredible! I would break the rules of not eating ice cream when it's cold for this one

I loved this ice cream recipe! And ice cream is good anytime of year! I actually prefer it in the fall… Glad you got to make this one

Vanilla is always my first choice for ice cream. Judging from the reviews, I have to try this recipe.Mimi

Donna-FFW — October 6, 2009 @ 2:15 am
Oh My.. does this ever sound incredible. Totally over the top yum!

I made this ice cream and it was terrific! I love vanilla (probably my fave) and it was hands down the best I've had!~ingrid

I think it is the perfect time of the year to introduce this recipe…it'll go GREAT with apple pie and pumpkin pie!

I wasn't able to bake along with SMS the week that ice cream was featured – but your post reminds me that I wanted to catch up and make this one! Looks DELICIOUS. Who cares if its fall – ice cream is good all year round!

This looks beautiful and somehow nostalgic — every season is the season for ice cream!!

Oh wow… I'm not a huge ice cream fan, but I LOVE brown sugar!
Tracey — October 7, 2009 @ 12:59 am
This is my favorite vanilla ice cream ever!! I loved it! I'd actually considered making it to go with the apple crumble this week but didn't get around to it. Glad you liked it too.
