Chocolate Crunch Ice Cream image

Making ice cream goes smoothly when you do prep work in advance. I make the custard ahead and refrigerate it overnight. Plus, I toast the almonds beforehand and separate my add-ins into labeled containers. -Rosalie Peters, Caldwell, Texas

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up and buying ice cream from the store.

I love how easy this recipe is. I don't have an ice cream maker, so I just froze the mixture in a loaf pan and it turned out great.
