I came across an almost full container of half and half cream in someone's fridge that was about to expire. They were not going to be able to use it up, so instead of leaving it there to be dumped down the drain, I said I would bring it home and make ice cream. Since it will be frozen, it will keep past the expiry date.

I already had a full day planned for today, so I wanted to make this quick and easy. I used a no cook vanilla ice cream recipe and added cocoa powder to make it chocolate. Here's the adapted version of the recipe I used.
Chocolate Ice Cream
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
almost 1 litre half and half cream (10%)
add enough milk to cream make
2 4 cups
2 tsp vanilla
Beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and cream-coloured. Add cocoa and mix in slowly. Add cream milk mixture and vanilla. Mix well. Follow directions on your ice cream maker.

Do you look for ways to use something up instead of throwing it away?
