Sweet Melissa Sundays is definately sweet this week! The recipe choice was Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream with a choice of either Hot Fudge Sauce or Butterscotch Sauce. I love ice cream and you can't really ruin a vanilla ice cream.
I enjoyed this recipe because it calls for brown sugar instead of white. The recipe also uses vanilla extract and vanilla bean for double the vanilla flavor. It was a unique vanilla ice cream which we really enjoyed!
The only change I made to the ice cream recipe was substituting French Vanilla powdered creamer for the powdered skim milk. The commissary only carries the HUGE boxes of powdered milk and it just wasn't practical to buy that for 1/4 cup. Plus, we are moving in 2 1/2 months and can't take food, so it would really go to waste. The creamer worked wonderfully and the ice cream was incredibly creamy. Mmmmm!
As for the butterscotch, it was great! Really easy to make and an excellent topping for the ice cream!
Thanks to Karen of Karen's Cookies, Cakes, and More for hosting this week. The recipe can be found at her blog.

You're moving? Back to the US? I'm so nosy... sorry.
Nice changes on the ice cream - it looks really good.
Yum I think the brown sugar would be a nice break from white sugar. Im sad my ice cream maker broke. Your ice cream looks so good and refreshing!
Thanks for making the ice cream with me this week. This was a really great recipe. I went with the hot fudge but will also be posting the butterscotch recipe tomorrow.
Dang! I almost went for the creamer, too. Thanks for letting me know that works. Nice job!
I'm gad the substitution worked for you, your ice cream looks wonderful! We loved this one - so incredibly creamy!
It looks fantastic with the butterscotch and it sounds like the creamer was a great solution (extra vanilla is not a bad thing)!
Holy smokes that sounds amazing!
Yum! Looks delicious. Great idea on the French Vanilla creamer.
Your ice cream looks so yummy with the butterscotch sauce! I didn't get around to making the sauces this week but hope to try them soon!

Your ice cream looks wonderful! I'm going to have to go back and make the sauce.

The perfect pairing! Oh, my, does this look ice cream parlor good!
Yum, this is one ice cream recipe I really want to try. Vanilla ice cream is my fave and I think adding brown sugar could only make it better!
