Ice Cream recipes

Home made ice cream is the way to go. If you have a maker, then you are king. If not, you can make most ice cream in your freezer with a 2 inch deep 13x9 aluminum pan. But you have to be vigilant in scraping it and stirring it. Anyways, here's some recipes.

Almond milk ice cream

Carton of almond milk,  vanilla or chocolate. 

Freeze normally.  That's it. Also works great with coconut milk in the carton.

Red Raspberry Ice Cream

6 teabags of raspberry herb tea

1 1/2 cups milk

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup whipping cream

For 1 quart. Place milk in saucepan and heat over a low flame until small bubbles form around the edge, stirring occasionally. (Do not boil). Remove from heat. Add the teabags, submerging completely. Let steep 10 minutes, then remove teabags, squeezing out liquid from bags. Combine eggs and sugar together, whisk until light. Add whipping cream, milk/tea mixture. Stir together. Refrigerate until cool. When cool, add to ice cream maker and freeze like normal.

Lemon Ice Cream

2 cups whipping cream or 1/2 n 1/2
1 cup sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Combine cream and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice and peel. Mix well and freeze.

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
2 cans 12 oz each of evaporated milk
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/8 tsp salt

Blend all ingredients together well. Pour into ice cream maker. Freeze.

Vanilla

no eggs

1 quart 1/2 n 1/2

1 TBS vanilla

3/4 cup sugar

1/8 tsp salt

Mix well, then freeze. 

For fruit, make the vanilla but add a cup of crushed fruit and its juices. Add another 1 TBS of sugar to fruit first. Best fruits are strawberries, blueberries, peaches.

For chocolate add a few squares of melted chocolate. 

For coffee add a 1/4 cup instant powdered coffee to the sugar before mixing it with cream and freezing.

You can also take a frozen fruit juice can of your choice and add a quart of 1/2 n 1/2 to it. Mix well and freeze. I used to make this with the Hawaiian fruit juices and they turned out delicious. 

Let your imagination run wild. But DO NOT do what Uncle Randy and Jeremy and Jason did. Sneak more chocolate into the ice cream mix while it was churning without telling each other. According to Jeremy, it was dark black chocolate looking. It was delicious going in but 20 minutes later it hit you. BAM! It made everyone sick.
