1/4 cup milk

ice cubes

Outcome:

I love sweets. I love ice cream. I love this recipe!

The one thing I have had trouble giving up is ice cream. I came up with this recipe by accident. One day while making a smoothie variation of the basic Budwig recipe (see video on right), I added too much ice and noticed the result looked and tasted like an ice cream shake. A light bulb went off and I tried adding cocoa and peppermint. A few tries later and I settled on this recipe.

Of course you can try flavoring this "ice cream" as you like. Maybe peanut or almond butter. Butterscotch flavoring would also work well. Look in the extract section of your grocery store to get more ideas of your own.
