I have an ice cream mixer that is hand cranked. The bucket is I believe hard plastic but is large enough for ice and salt. The tank holds up to a half gallon. One of my former wives and I used a recipe for vanilla ice cream which was cooked on the stove resulting a custard cream, very soft and smooth. I probably would have a difficult time finding the recipe; all good things come to an end!

Hello all. I been debating purchasing an ice cream maker. The problem is that I normally want ice cream, and then I get a bowl or cup of it and then the need is out of my system for a long while. So if I buy a quart most of it will just sit there. I have seen some cheaper brands of ice cream makers such as Hamilton Beach in amazon for as low as $24 and change,. These have a bowl that lives in the freezer to make it easier to make the stuff with out ice or rock salt. So while I sit here and ponder trying to decide, is there a way to make home made ice cream with out a machine? Vanilla will do, though any other variations you can come up with would be well... cool. Here is something a friend was saying they used to do back in the day. Take a can of evaporated milk (large) and pour it into a plastic bowl. Put it in the freezer for an hour or so until a little ice starts to form on the top. Take it out and get the hand mixer going into the stuff for about 15 minutes. It will start to rice and thicken to the point of very thick cream. Mix in about a half cup of sugar and keep beating. (more to taste.) Toss in a t-spoon of vanilla and mix some more. This can be poured over jello, or canned fruit etc. Thanks, D C _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
