As I write this post, my children have only 4 days of school left!! These last few weeks of school have felt like a sprint to the finish and because my kids have been working so hard I wanted to show them how proud their Father and I were of their accomplishments. So, I threw my own little kick off the summer party with a few family favorites and a new recipe that is “to die for” delicious that I will share later in the post. I am ready to Share Funshine!
Before our party, I made a visit to my neighborhood Walmart to pick up some snacks and, since it is heating up, I felt like a few cool treats would be perfect!
Yummm…
Now when my family has a party, even if we are the only guests, we don’t remotely mess around. There are snacks for EVERYONE. Just call me the Funshine Queen!
Even our furry family member Zoe got something. She was pretty happy with her DENTASTIX®.
Now let me share with you a fabulous NEVER before seen cool summer recipe I made JUST for our party!
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 2 to 3 Fresh Bananas
- SNICKERS® Ice Cream Bars
- Add egg yolks and sugar to a medium saucepan and whisk until a light yellow color and well combined. In another small sauce pan, heat milk over medium-low heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not stir. Gradually add milk to egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Return to heat until it reaches 165º F, but do not allow it to come to a boil. As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove it from the heat. Pour custard base into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until it chills to 65º F. The longer the custard base chills, the creamier your ice cream will be.
- Once the custard base is ready, stir in the heavy cream, cut up banana pieces and add vanilla extract. Pour it into your ice cream maker and process according to your ice cream maker's instructions.
- Once the ice cream is done churning, top with crumbled or sliced SNICKERS® Ice Cream Bar pieces!
Now back to my own little Share Funshine party, after our delicious treats I pulled these bad boys out. The kids didn’t even know this was coming until the first water balloon came sailing their way!
I am happy to report that I am STILL the reining family water balloon fight champion! Although I did see some marked improvement in the oldest daughter’s aim. I will need to watch that one…
After our balloon fight and treats, we sat together as a family and decided what we should put on our summer bucket list. I am a big believer in keeping it simple, because some of the best memories are completely uncomplicated. I created a super cute printable that you can use when planning your own Share Funshine memories!
I would love to hear how you plan to Share Funshine this summer!
