Ever since I've known my husband, he puts Milk in his Ice Cream. I've never known anyone to do this before.

So, is it a common thing that I didn't know about to put Milk in your Ice Cream? Do you or someone you know?

(Which by the way IS good, he made me try it! lol)

Thanks girls!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I said Ewww too for a long time! But he made me try it awhile back and it's amazing. It makes the ice cream crystal like and a sweet crunch. And then after you eat the ice cream there is a milkshake to drink, its good!

I love making a hot fudge sundae with all the toppings and then pouring the milk over it all. It's simply awesome :)

Ally: Flavored creamer? I am definitely going to have to try that! Think of the flavor possibilities!
Anyone who hasnt tried this SHOULD! :) It is good with whatever type of milk too. We use Lactose Free for my son and I.

I've put ice cream in my coffee, but never milk in my ice cream.

I'd say eww, except that I see Hazel likes it, and if Hazel likes it, it has to be good. Maybe I'll try it...

I do sometimes with Mint n Chip. I personally like a scoop of vanilla with a little Kaluha over it. My uncle was from Italy and when I was quite young we went to his friends for dinner and she served it for dessert, she didnt even care I was a teenager a young one, It was SOO good, I couldnt wait until I was officially old enough to make it myself!

I put flavored creamer in my ice cream. Try it, you'll like it!

*My favs are Bailey's Creamer and Almond Joy over vanilla (not the 2 creamers together), and Peppermint Mocha over the holidays. Its about 1000 calories a bite.

*I also put Oreos in a bowl and pour milk over it, letting it get mushy and then I eat it like cereal. I know its gross and unhealthy, even if I use organic milk lol but it is one of my guilty pleasures which is why I work out as much as I can!

We don't do this.
But if my husband gets a piece of cake (or brownie) and he feels it's dry, he'll put it in a bowl and pour some milk on it, then eat it.

Nope, but I put milk on my cake, brownies, and cookies. It's my husband's family tradition - which I slurped into by choice.

I'm not a big ice cream fan...but if I were, I'd probably put milk on it too :-)

Never tried ice cream that way...but I will. I know someone who puts cornbread in a glass and pours milk in it...mixes it all up and then drinks it. He are from St. Louis...maybe it's a Middle American thing.

I have only had it as kind of a shake. And sometimes it includes chipped ice, too.

Have you tried milk and orange sherbert? Or vanilla ice cream and a little orange juice? It's basically a drinkable creamsicle.

My Mom does this. I do too. It tastes better to me than without milk and cuts the cold of the ice cream a bit - enough that it doesn't hurt my teeth.

Is your husband originally from the South, by any chance?

answers from Los Angeles on

I don't, but I remember in high school, my boyfriend made a shake in the blender with an ice cream that had nuts in it and my brain just about short circuited! "you can't do THAT!"
Then I got a grip on myself and realized that there may be A LOT of ways that people do stuff that I was never introduced to by MY family.

Your question reminded me of that scenario. :)

answers from Oklahoma City on

Ice cream is made by whipping, putting air in, the cream and other ingredients to a certain consistency. Some people don't like ice cream all fluffy and whipped. If you see kids playing in their ice cream this is most likely why. The like the ice cream more like soft serve with a lot of the air bubbles out of it.

I stir my ice cream until it's almost runny before I like it. I really had no use for ice cream for a very long time. I just didn't like it. Then I learned why I didn't like it. I had always found my self stirring it until it was a melted heap. It just didn't taste good to me. I think it was Alton Brown who did an episode on ice cream.

Pouring milk over ice cream just changes it to a bit of a different consistency. I imagine it tastes good to him that way.

My husband's favorite treat! It does taste good and makes awesome little ice chunks in the ice cream. He likes it with more milk than I do - I like it really thick. It reminds me of when I was little and my dad had this cool hershey's shaker cup. He would put ice cream, chocolate sauce, and milk in it and shake it up to make milkshakes. Yum!

answers from Las Vegas on

Yes! I've been doing this since I was a child. Don't remember how it started.

It's not a lot of milk, not like you'd put in if you are making a shake. Just enough to make the ice chips form.

I love the sweet ice chips and how they crunch!

If I were not so tired, I would be heading to the freezer right now!
