philadelphia style (no egg) chocolate ice cream

i haven't posted anything in a while. it's not because i haven't been cooking anything, it's cuz i've been forgetting to update. i've been making a lot of french toast and pancakes with the raw milk & fresh eggs i get from the farm. the pancakes are da bomb and they are a bright yellow color from the eggs. mmmm!

today i decided to make chocolate ice cream since i have an ice cream maker and almost never use it. i found this recipe for philadelphia style ice cream meaning it's a no egg recipe. after my ice cream maker taking a long ass time to churn, it finally turned into ice cream. i have to say i am disappointed. it's not horrible but it's not that great. for as long as it took to make the ice cream, i would expect it to be better. it definitely taste like it's missing something and i can't help but think it's the egg. i should have just spent the money on some haagen daaz.
