Every year we go to my in-laws in Wisconsin for the July 4th holiday. It’s quite a lot of fun! Seeing family, going to the small hometown parade (complete with tractors and firetrucks). and fireworks.

One of the highlights of our trips is going to the local ice cream shop! It’s a tiny place with no eating inside but there are benches and chairs outside if you’re lucky enough to grab a seat. Inside, there are plenty of flavors to choose from and quite a few different cone and topping options.

I’m a mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone girl so that is usually what I get but they have a cookie ice cream that is to die for. It has chocolate chip cookie dough pieces, chocolate chips, oreos, peanut butter cookies, and a fudge swirl throughout the creamy vanilla ice cream. Of course, one has to top all of that off with rainbow sprinkles.

Recently I decided to make this creamy ice cream at home using our ice cream machine that we purchased from Amazon. It’s super easy to use and makes two quarts of ice cream. It was a perfect excuse to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! But, really, any day is good for ice cream, right?
