Tonight, I made brown butter flavor. 2 cans of coconut milk, a stick of butter browned, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a cup of sugar. Damn, it was decadent.

The night before I made a version of chunky monkey. Two cans of coconut milk, 1 banana, toasted pecans, mini chocolate chips, vanilla, sugar. Ridiculous.

Best ice cream I've ever made was with dry ice and my stand mixer. Sooooo creamy and tasty.

I will say that it doesn't get the ice cream as thick as the old traditional one, though, but I just pour the mixture into a bread loaf pan and put it in the freezer to let it harden more.

The best thing about the dry ice is how quickly it freezes the base. As I'm sure you know, faster freeze means smaller ice crystals means creamier ice cream.

Even when I was a fat **** I couldn't drink do that with soda.
