On today’s show, I have a real treat for you. First I will be making Gazpacho soup. This is one of my favorite things to make on a hot summer’s day because it is fast, easy, and since there is no cooking, the kitchen stays cool.
Next, I get to make pineapple upside-down cake with my 360 saute pan. Lastly, we will be making Chocolate, Chocolate chip ice cream with my grandaughter, Cassie who is visiting from New Orleans.

Notes
If you are using the old fashion type of ice cream maker, you will also need rock salt and lots of ice (3-4 gallons of ice). I froze my canister for 30 minutes to an hour before use.
However, this recipe works well will most ice cream makers. Just remember to follow the instructions provided with your type of ice cream maker.
