A Little Bit of Ice Cream

Yesterday my mom, my brother and I drove for about an hour to get this Ice Cream maker. It was totally worth it because the machine is in perfect condition worth about $150. We only bought it for $80! Once we got home we started to make the Ice Cream. When my sister and dad got home they helped finish making it. Anyway we made this awesome Oreo Ice Cream with a recipe that had tons of 5 star reviews online. It worked and the ice cream turned out perfect. MMMM I can not wait to have more. Anyway, the recipe goes like this:
