Homemade Ice Cream

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup frozen chopped fruit, chocolate chips or fruit puree (1/4 cup)

Tools:
1 cup salt (split into 1/2 cup portions)
10 cups ice cubes
3 each gallon sized freezer bags, OR
1 small mixing bowl (metal preferred), 1 large mixing bowl and
1 rubber spatula

Directions:
Combine first 5 ingredients until sugar is dissolved.

Freezer Bag Method:
Place liquid mixture into 1 freezer bag and seal tightly. Split ice cubes into two remaining freezer bags and add 1/2 cup salt to each bag. Seal bags tightly.

Lay one bag of ice down on a flat surface. Top with liquid mixture, then with the second ice bag, making a “sandwich”. As the liquid mixture freezes, move the bag around so it freezes evenly.

When the mixture is almost frozen, add in frozen fruit, chocolate chips or swirl in fruit puree.

Keep mixture in freezer until ready to serve.

Bowl Method:
If using mixing bowls, place liquid mixture into smaller bowl, with ice and salt into the larger bowl. Place smaller bowl into the larger bowl and stir until mixture freezes.

When the mixture is almost frozen, add in frozen fruit, chocolate chips or swirl in fruit puree.

Keep mixture in freezer until ready to serve.

Enjoy!
