Who made some pretty awesome ice cream?

I did!

I got the recipe from this book, and boy was it worth the work!  And by work, I mean using the food processor I received from my parents for the first time.  Chris has used it to grate cheese, but I'm more of a mini-prep kind of girl.  The food processor was big and scary to me.  But now that I've used it, I love it!

My first attempt at ice cream resulted in chocolate all over my kitchen counter (apparently the food processor has a hole in the center or the bowl... who knew?).  My second attempt resulted in the richest, cremiest, chocolatey-est ice cream EVER!  So rich and creamy that it needed to be cut with some store bought vanilla.  Only a few spoonfuls and you're done.  There will be much more ice cream in the future - as a matter of fact, I'm chilling some pumpkin ice cream as I write this.
