Inspired by an ice cream parlor visit on The Travel Channel’s Bizzare Foods, Sidney and I made cornbread ice cream! I went simple for this recipe, choosing a Jiffy cornbread mix instead of going at it completely from scratch.
We first mixed up a batch of cornbread batter. We separated the batter in half, and cooked one half of it on the stovetop like a giant pancake, breaking it apart at the very end till it resembled scrambled eggs more than a pancake. The other half of the batter we mixed with a little bit of yogurt butter and cream and then added it to a basic vanilla ice cream recipe.
Once the ice cream was nearing completion, we dumped the cooked cornbread pieces through the open top of the ice cream machine.
Can a mother and teacher of young children say “Fuckin’ yum”?
I think I just did.
Next up on the ice cream docket: sesame!
