Play 'n Freeze Ice Cream maker

This past weekend we made homemade ice cream using this fun little device called the "Play 'n Freeze".  We got the smallest one that makes only a pint, but we are not big sweets eaters so we thought it would be the perfect amount to split.

How this works is you add your ingredients to a metal canister inside the ball.  We used fat free creamer, brandy, rum, and spices to make "egg nog".  On the other side of the ball is an opening where you add ice and rock salt.  I was really suprised how much ice this holds! -probably 5 lbs worth!
Then you shake it, roll it, toss it
for 10 minutes.  Stir. 
Shake, toss, and roll some more.

We actually went too long with ours (20 minutes total) so the ice cream was rock solid.
It is a fun little workout, suprisingly!
We hope to take this camping with us. 
The recipe ideas are ENDLESS




The final flavor wasn't what we had hoped, so we added some mint chocolate and chocolate peanut butter. 
Delish!
