OMG worthy Caramel Apple Pie Ice Cream
Who doesn’t love pie? I mean… really. When was the last time someone was like, “Hey here’s a free piece of pie” and you were like “Nah, I’d rather just sit here and watch you eat it”. The only exception is when there’s no whipped cream or ice cream to go with it… I mean, c’mon, what’s the point?
One issue I ran into recently in my quest to bake pies was the heat. We’ve had a heatwave here in California and if there’s one thing I don’t like doing when I’m all hot and lethargic, it’s hang out in the kitchen over a hot stove. I’m the first person to order soup when it’s 90 degrees out, but I don’t want to open the oven and get blasted by 450 degrees more heat.
So… the conundrum presented itself: How do I eat my pie when it’s a million degrees out? The obvious solution, turn that pie a la mode into straight ice cream a la pie.
KitchenAid just happened to be doing “The Apple Challenge” this week, so my mission was obvious… make APPLE PIE ICE CREAM!
I pulled my KitchenAid mixer out and got whipping. Literally. I started whipping some heavy cream in preparation for my favorite 2 ingredient ice cream base. All you need is heavy cream & sweetened condensed milk. You may recall my Red Velvet Oreo Ice Cream Recipe, it’s basically the same concept. You don’t need an ice cream maker or anything fancy. I used my KitchenAid mixer which makes it even easier because you just turn it on and come back in 5 minutes. But you can use any type of Hand Mixer as well.
The trick is, after your base is ready, slowly add in the other ingredients. If you over mix, they’ll just get blended up and you won’t get the apple chunks or caramel swirls. I added Apple Pie Filling, Caramel & Golden Oreo Thins. You can also add nuts, cinnamon or graham crackers. Did I mention the entire recipe only calls for 5 ingredients?? I HIGHLY recommend adding this to your list of recipes to make. Not only is it super easy, but it’s insanely addicting.
