3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup half-and-half
half can Cream of Coconut (found in Hispanic section at Grocery store)
half batch of partially baked brownies from a box cut into bite-size chunks

Ben & Jerry's Sweet Cream Base

Sarah's Additions

Whisk in half can of cream of coconut.  Churn/freeze ice cream according to your ice cream maker.  I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker so I churn for 25 minutes.  After 25 minutes add chunks of halfway cooked brownies while it continues to churn for about 5 more minutes.


Pour into container and put in freezer for at least a few hours before eating.


It's so delicious!

Zucchini Bread

Ingredients

• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 cups grated zucchini **
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes. 

** Grating zucchini is actually quite easy.  You just use a cheese grater - skins, seeds and all. **
