Kick off National Ice Cream Month with some cool summer favorites!  Homemade ice cream always hits the spot. Make your own varieties by swirling in chopped or pureed fruits, flavored syrups or nuts just before placing in your freezer!

Summer Vanilla Ice Cream
This lighter approach to ice cream uses less cream and more milk than most. This makes it ideal for pairing with other desserts, especially my Honey Almond Caramel sauce. The sugar content is fairly low as well, making this ice cream the perfect complement to any sauce or fruit cobbler you serve it with.

Chocolate Ice Cream
Use your favorite chocolate for this recipe. I prefer bittersweet, but semisweet is fine, too.

Brown Sugar Ice Cream with Cinnamon Caramel
Fold the homemade caramel into the ice cream as you are packing it in an airtight container for the freezer.
