While searching for a recipe for the ‘best brownies’ I came across Riot Wife.  She posted Edna Staebler’s recipe for chocolaty goodness and just raved about it.  These babies really do melt in your mouth (paired them with some homemade ice cream).  I whipped up a batch of the basic Vanilla in my Cuisinart ice cream maker.  Here’s the recipe from the book that came with the machine:

Vanilla Ice Cream

1c. whole milk, well chilled

3/4c. granulated sugar

2c. heavy cream, well chilled

1-2tsp. pure vanilla extract, to taste

Combine milk and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.  Stir in heavy cream and vanilla to taste.

I didn’t read through the directions first (gulp) and ended up putting everything in the bowl together before I started mixing.  After mixing it with a whisk until I couldn’t feel any more gritty sugar on the bottom of the bowl, I turned on the machine and poured the mixture into the top.  By the time I finished mixing up and baking the brownies the ice cream was done (30 min.).  Perfect!
