Chocolate Ice Cream - costing out the recipe
I did the costing for this to the penny. Yield was 48 ounces - just like containers in the grocery store. A 48 ounce container of what you consider "good" ice cream from a grocery store costs any where from $5.00 to $7.00. When you create this at home you are getting only natural ingredients - no chemicals added for a cost of $6.69. Here's my breakdown:
8 egg yolks
|
$ 1.28
|
1 cup heavy cream
|
$ 1.49
|
3 cups half and half
|
$ 2.01
|
Sugar
|
$ .37
|
Cocoa
|
$ .87
|
Vanilla
|
$ .67
|
Total cost for 48 ounces
|
$ 6.69
|
Per person cost for
6 oz. servings
|
$ .83 each
|
Although that is not necessarily "inexpensive" compared to the grocery store you have to accept the fact that it is by far a much, much better product for your family. My husband is plowing through this ice cream and is already asking when I will make more. What have I gotten myself into?
