Home Made Ice Cream Recipe
1 lb. Coffee Can
3 lb. Coffee Can
1/2 cup Rock salt
1 pint Half and Half
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons. Sugar
For flavoured ice cream, choose one:
3 tablespoons. of your favourite flavour of instant pudding
1/3 cup of fruit (such as, bananas, strawberries, peaches)
3 of your favourite cookies, crushed into pea-size pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts
METHOD:
Mix the first three basic ingredients together and pour into the one pound coffee can. Add flavourings if desired. Place the lid on securely and set inside the three pound can.
Add ice, and alternate layers of ice and salt outside the small can and inside the large can. When totally full, secure the lid on the large can. You may wish to add duct tape for good measure.
Now here comes the fun part! Place a sheet on the floor or wrap the can in a large towel. Let party guests roll the can back and forth for at least 10 minutes. Open the cans and check the ice cream.
If it is not starting to freeze, replace lids and roll 10 minutes more. The ice cream should be frozen to the sides and bottom of the can. If not thick enough, place in freezer and check every 10 minutes or so.
YIELD: 2 cups ice cream
Note: This recipe can be effected by temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors, so make a trial run before attempting in a group setting.

I’ve just started making home made ice cream with a White Mountain hand crank machine and the kids think it’s awesome. If you don’t make your own ice cream you should give it a try. Here’s an interesting article I found that might be helpful to folks
thinking about making their own.
