OMG some one please tell me how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker!?!
Answers: Im making one of anna olsons cakes the chocolate chip ice cream one and it says to pour mixture into an ice cream maker! And I dont have one of them! But I REALLY want to make this cake. 10 points for best answer, and the mixture that I have to pour into an ice cream maker is this: "For chocolate chip ice cream, whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepot to combine. Whisk in half & half cream and stir mixture over medium-low heat until it thickens and become just a little glossy, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. Stir in vanilla and let mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then chill completely. Whip cream to soft peaks and whisk into chilled ice cream. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker following manufacturer’s instructions. Just before removing ice cream, pour in chocolate chips. Scrape ice cream into a container and freeze while preparing cookies for assembly (if ice cream is still quite fluid, freeze for about 40 minutes to firm it.)
Coffe cans work. We made it once in gym class.
You put the ice cream liquid into a smaller 1lb coffe can and put the plastic lid on. Then put some ice in the bottom of the bigger 2lb 7oz can. set in the can with the liquid. Fill up the sides with more ice and sprinkle in some salt. Put on the bigger can's lid and start rolling.
You will have to replace the ice when it melts and we opened the inner can to stir and scrape down the sides every 20 min or so. In an hour and a half you will have ice cream! You can probably add the choc chips in the second time you scrape down the sides. Good luck!
I don't know if this will help or not, but years ago we made ice cream in ice cube trays.
They call them ice cream makers for a reason.
You might want to try the double-bag trick.
The inner bag should have the ice cream ingredients and the outer bag should have ice and rock salt.
See the recipe below:
We always used coffee cans as kids. Take a medium sized coffee can and put your ice cream mixture inside and put the lid on it. Put that into a larger coffee can and put some ice around it with some rock salt. We always just kinda eyeballed how much to use, but about a cup of rocksalt would do. Then place the lid on top of the large coffee can. Then you roll it back and forth until the ice cream starts to freeze.
My family used to just make it in big plastic Tupperwares - I think it was a matter of leaving it in the freezer for an hour, stirring it vigorously, then leaving it again, stirring it again every half hour or so until it was properly frozen.
It's not very easy without a maker, but I've done it before. First chill the mix in the fridge.
You need ice, salt and two bowls. Put the mix in the small bowl and the put about two pounds of ice and 1/2c salt in the large bowl. You will need a towel or two to keep things from moving around.The salt will make the ice colder than 32 deg. Ice cream freezes at about 4 degrees. Whisk the mix until and it will get stiffer and stiffer in the ice bath. Add in the chips while you still can and when it starts to get too stiff to stir, freeze for at least and hour to firm up the ice cream. I would also stir it for a bit before adding in the whipped cream.
Or, of course, you could go and buy a pint of Ben and Jerry's for $3
I support the coffee can idea. It works really well.
