This is it guys, my first time making ice cream! I’ve always wanted to try, but don’t have an ice cream maker and can’t really justify owning one given the amount of ice cream it would lead me to consume. Plus, that’s what friends are for, right? My good friend and the biggest ice cream head I know, Corey, recently got an ice cream maker and invited me over to take it for a spin.
