Sour Cream Ice Cream

Makes 1 1/2 quarts

1 1/2 cups sugar
12 large egg yolks
4 cups sour cream
4 cups heavy cream
2 Teaspoons vanilla

Whisk egg yolks until well blended. Set aside. Combine heavy cream and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Immediately whisk about ½ cup into the reserved eggs. Then slowly whisk eggs into the warm cream mixture.

Heat over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and reaches 160 degrees F. At this temperature it will coat a spoon. Remove from heat. Cool slightly and whisk in sour cream until thoroughly combined.

Strain through a fine sieve. Chill thoroughly then pour into container of an ice-cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s directions. Heaven with apple pie or other apple desserts.

1 cup semi-sweet morsels
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup dairy sour cream

Sour Cream Apple Pie

Everyone will ask you for a second slice!

1/2 cup Meadow Cold Viva Sour Cream or Longmont Dairy Whipped Cream
4 to 6 tart apples
Prepared pastry for crust and top
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Core, pare, and slice the apples. Line a deep pie pan with pastry. Spread a layer of the apples over the bottom, sprinkle with a mixture of the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and repeat until all are used. Pour the sour cream over the top. Moisten the rim of the pastry, add the top sheet of dough, making two or three slits in the top to allow the steam to escape. Press the top to the lower crust.

Put the pie in a 400º oven and bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown. Serve with whipped cream.

Snickerdoodle Pizza

Start with a ball of snickerdoodle cookie dough about the size of one large grapefruit (about 1/3 pail of dough or 1 pound). Flatten the dough into a circle on a cookie sheet or round pizza pan. It should be 1/4” to 1/2” thick and 10” – 12” diameter.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Rotate, so cookie bakes evenly. Bake 5 minutes more. Keep rotating and checking until it is slightly browned. Cool. Spread frosting on cookie then decorate with fruit-fresh or canned-whatever looks pretty to you!
Enjoy!
