Marged and Mike made this recipe for our 24th of July party and it was divine

Sounds really good. Do you just stick it in the freezer? You don't have to churn it or anything?

ellen said...

Oops! You do need to use an icecream freezer that churns to make this. I better add that to the recipe. Thanks, Lisa Lou.

we'll have to make it with you next time we come to slc.

I thought it was yumm as well!

Marged actually substituted half 'n half for the condensed milk, and it was fabulous

ellen said...

Thanks for mentioning that, Sue. Less fat, less calories...that's what we need.

Squirrel said...

I think it adds more calories because now it has the full cream plus the half 'n half. I don't know how many calories are in canned milk, but probably less than the half 'n half.

As you can see, I am having a problem posting a comment. What I said is: Squirrel and Squirrel's Niche are the same person. If I were to have my own blog it would be Squirrel Hollow. I started setting it up, but I didn't know how much information to reveal in my profile. Do I just not check allow profile to be viewed?

Sue, I am so happy you are setting up a blog. I don't know what I did about the profile. I don't think I wrote anything yet. Please let me know when you have your blog set up, so I can come for a visit. Would you like to visit Lisa's blog to get some ideas for yours?
