If you read my post on homemade chocolate ice cream you’ll know that I picked up a $70.00 ice cream maker at the thrift store for $3.00 (SCORE!). So I’ve been browsing around for ice cream recipes, but my youngest son, Dominic, really wanted me to try good ole vanilla.
So I found some fun ice cream recipes on Old Fashioned Living and one of them was this Vanilla Ice Cream recipe (below). You see I didn’t have any vanilla beans lying around so I wanted to try this one since it used vanilla extract instead. it’s very tasty, though it scoops out more the consistency of ice milk, if you’ve ever had that. Dominic enjoyed it immensely and I intend to try some of the other recipes on that link too :)
Vanilla Ice Cream
1 quart milk
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
dash salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tsp. vanilla
Heat milk until small bubbles begin to appear; stir in sugar and salt. Stir in some of the hot mixture into the beaten eggs and mix well. Slowly stir eggs into pan and cook over low heat, stirring for about 2 minutes. Do not boil. Stir in cream and let mixture cool; stir in vanilla. Freeze in ice cream machine according to directions. Serves 8.
This looks great – homemade ice cream is the best!
I love vanilla ice cream…I can eat that anytime of day!
I’m so impressed. I couldn’t do that!
Congrats on your ice cream maker find! I would have done exactly what you did, bought it as quick as I could. I also like how you took your photos in the snowy outside. It gives the ice cream a unique perspective.
Score indeed! Both with your purchase and with these two yummo ice cream recipes!
You have an award on my blog.
