Hi Bold Bakers!
Do you want to make something homemade and full of holiday flavor but not up for turning on the oven or fussing with lots of new ingredients? Whether you love traditional Christmas desserts or are looking to mix it up this year, this Holiday Ice Cream is just for you. What could be more Christmassy than cranberry and white chocolate and now you can enjoy it in an ice cream.
The best thing about this homemade White Chocolate and Cranberry Ice Cream is that it requires no special ingredients or equipment and can be made in minutes. This recipe cuts down on the time spent in the kitchen, but packs so much flavor. Instead of letting that extra cranberry sauce, or fresh cranberries go to waste, add it into my No-Machine Vanilla Ice Cream base and you are halfway there. I cooked up fresh cranberries with a little water and sugar for this recipe but feel free to add in whatever cranberry sauce you have on hand. The combination of rich ice cream, tangy cranberry, and sweet white chocolate is so indulgent, nobody will be missing that store-bought pie with boring whipped cream.

This is the prefect thing to bring to a party or serve alongside all of your other holiday favorites. The prettiest pink color will have them all fooled into thinking you slaved away making homemade ice cream, when really you whipped up this White Chocolate and Cranberry Ice Cream in a flash!
