Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk

Ben & Jerry's NY Super Fudge Chunk


 

1/4 cup White chocolate; chop coarse

1/4 cup semisweet chocolate; chop

1/4 cup Pecan halves; chopped

1/4 cup Walnuts; chop coarse

1/4 cup Chocolate covered almonds; cut in half

4 oz Unsweetened chocolate

1 cup Milk

2 Large Eggs

1 cup Sugar

1 cup Heavy or whipping cream

1 teas Vanilla extract

1/2 teas Salt


 

Combine the coarsely chopped chocolate, pecans, walnuts and chocolate covered almonds in a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling water.

Whisk in the milk, a little at a time, and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more.

Add the cream, vanilla and salt and whisk to blend. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cream mixture and blend. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 1-3 hours, depending on your refrigerator. Transfer the cream mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.

After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done), add the chocolate and nuts, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready.

Makes one Quart.

Bind off all stitches. Weave in all ends and wear proudly
let's start from the beginning I got married 6/2/09. For the ceremony I got my eyelashes done by the lady who used to do my hair. She has her own shop and she was like are you still making bags if you want you can display them here. Ok! So I am trying to make a bag that would be banging if I had the patience. crimson purl made a neckwarmer from the my so called scarf pattern . I think a clutch out of that same pattern would be banging . Wrote a pattern for it and everything(that is the pattern above) oh and the color a sunshine yellow. With the texture you don't need anythingelse. Any I am mobile blogging and my thumbs are tired I may continue.

need your help



I want to make this. not sure anything about it. I picked Raena's brain for about two hours and we came up with this: do a circle base out to 92 then begin persephone pattern. Using worsted weight yarn and size 9 needles but it came out too small. my thought is to double the worsted and use size 10 or 15 needles. that is where you come in. What do you think. That baby is real small it still has the hair on it little body. Also you cannot put this in a car seat no where for the buckle to go. But again what do you think?
