• ½ cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup butter, unsalted and cold (cut into ½ inch cubes)

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the ice cream:
• 1 cup half and half
• ½ cup whipping cream

Steps

2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly, grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon butter.
3. In a large bowl, add sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon. Using your hands crumble butter into the mixture, until resembles a coarse meal. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, add berries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Gently, toss until fully mixed. Next, pour into cast iron skillet. Spread until even, and then sprinkle with crumble topping all over.
5. Bake until topping is golden brown and berries are bubbling, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly.

7. In a quart size resealable bag, add half and half, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Seal tightly. Set aside.
8. In a gallon size bag, add 2 cups ice, and then salt. Place the filled quart size bag into the gallon bag. Seal gallon bag. Shake gallon bag vigorously for 20 minutes. Ice cream will have a soft serve consistency. Place in freezer until ready to use.
9. Once the ice cream is ready, add on top of the berry crumble. To make it even tastier, the crumble is best served warm. Serve, and enjoy!

I have no junk food at home right now and after watching this, I got up and made an apple crumble. Sometimes you just need the right motivation and this guy has the type of energy you don't see everyday.

My little sister and I watched this video, and immediately made the brownies and ice cream from scratch! It tasted amazing, and we had so much fun, baking together.

Please return to the old intro. I need to hear Frankie in literal pain over how much money I could be saving by heisting packets from restaurants.

Why isn't he yelling at me in a frustrated voice about how life can be a struggle? Why is he so calm? I am uncomfortable

[snurfbee]

I absolutely love your sense of humor! I can't eat starches of any kind (except potatoes) so I can't enjoy most of what you make but it doesn't matter. You are too much fun to watch!
