My Grandma used to make ice cream without a machine.?
HOW DID SHE DO THAT?
Answers:
I don't know how your grandmother did it. But here's how the children do it.
They put the ingredients in a jar, put the lid on the jar and put the jar into a large can, like a coffee can. They, then fill the can with ice and rock salt and put the lid on the can. It's a good idea to tape the lid on. (duck tape) They they just play kick the can or just roll it back and forth to each other. After about 30 or 45 minutes of this, it turns into ice cream.
How to Make Homemade Ice Cream Without an Ice Cream Maker
You don't need an ice cream freezer to make your own homemade ice cream. You can make ice cream with your refrigerator. Here's how:
Dad's Favorite Recipe
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs for several minutes until thick and lemon colored. Add 1 cup of milk and blend into the eggs. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Add egg/milk mixture to the sugar and cornstarch. Cook until thick (about 5 minutes) stirring constantly. Allow the custard mixture to cool to room temperature.
When the custard is cool, put into a freezer-safe bowl. Blend in cream and salt. Freeze for 2 hours or until slushy. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Whip for 5 to 10 minutes with an electric mixer. Return to freezer and finish freezing (several hours or overnight).
Variations:
After you have whipped the ice cream, fold in 1 to 2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit, nuts and/or chocolate before returning the ice cream to the freezer to finish freezing.
Here are some ideas for additions to your ice cream:
Strawberries
Blackberries
Raspberries
Peaches
Cherries (or Maraschino Cherries)
Chocolate chips
Butterscotch chips
Crushed Heath bars
Crushed peppermint candy
Chopped walnuts
