But you need one of these...and ice cream maker. Cuisinart makes a good one and it's pretty cheap! You can make all kinds of ice cream with this gadget from plain and simple vanilla to complicated candied peanut caramel swirl fudge crunch! Okay I totally made that one up but I'm sure you can make it!
