The Curious Creamery: Make Your Own Ice Cream & Ice Cream Cake! Review & #Giveaway

My hubby’s birthday was this week.  I always make him a dessert to celebrate.  He loves ice cream cake but I had never made one before.  When I saw the Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake Mix I knew it would be perfect.  He loves German Chocolate cake!  My 3 kids were excited to help make a cake for Dad too.

It was really quite easy!  We mixed heavy whipping cream, milk, sugar and the cake mix together with an electric mixer.  We used a zig zag and up and down motion to make the mix “fluffy”.  It almost double in size!  Then we poured it into a spring form cake pan and put it in the freezer for 4-6 hours.  You can make a crust if you like, add multiple layers, mix in different ingredients and more but we kept it pretty simply.

We frosted the cake with store bought frosting (the coconut type used for German Chocolate cakes) and whipped cream from a can.  We wrote “Happy Birthday Dad” with a frosting bag then drizzled the edge with chocolate.

Not only was this cake easy to make, it save a lot of money!  Store bought ice cream cakes run around $25+ (or $2.25/serving)  One box of The Curious Creamery comes with two base mixes and will make 1 gallon of ice cream for about $0.50/serving! The Curious Creamery Ice Cream Cake is available in three delicious options: Classic Vanilla, German Chocolate, and Sweet Cream.

Ever wish you could find a certain flavor of ice cream but it eludes you or doesn’t exist?  Why not make your own!  The Curious Creamery makes it super easy and the flavors are limited only by your imagination. Just combine one pack of The Curious Creamery Ice Cream base mix with any ice-cold liquid, such as water, milk, tea, or alcohol, and any choice of mix-ins.  Here are some sample ideas:

Traditional Style: for the tried-and- true favorites, pair milk with mix-ins like chocolate chips, peanut butter, crushed peppermint or marshmallows

Family Favorites: surprise the family with a signature campfire treat by adding graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate chips

Healthier Treats: add coconut milk or fresh juices with a fresh fruit puree (pineapple or strawberries) for a better-for- you dessert

Adults Only: mix a buttery California chardonnay with nutty brown butter; or a craft chili beer with chocolate bits

Sweet, Spicy & Savory: partner stout coffee with a touch of chili and chocolate for an unexpected sweet surprise; or try a creamy garlic-honey blend or a smooth avocado blend for a cool artisan sensation.

So fun, right!?

Even better, The Curious Creamery uses no artificial ingredients, colors, flavors or high fructose corn syrup.  It is lactose free, preservative free and does not contain trans-fat, cholesterol or gluten.
