Kick The Can Ice Cream
1 (1-lb.) coffee can with plastic lid
1 C. whole milk
1 C. heavy cream
1/3 C. sugar
2 T. flavored syrup (such as chocolate or strawberry) *
1 (3-lb. can with plastic lid or a #10-size can, such as a potato
flake can with plastic lid)
Small bag ice, cubed (not crushed)
1/2 C. rock salt
In the small can, add milk, cream, sugar and syrup. Do not fill the
can more than half full with liquids or the ice cream will not
freeze as well. Cover the small can with a plastic lid and place it
into the large can. Fill the bottom half of the space between the
two cans with ice. Add rock salt. Fill the rest of the space with
ice and put on the plastic lid.
Ask two people to roll the can back and forth to each other for 10
minutes. Remove the lids and scrape the ice cream from the sides of
the small can. Stir the mixture. If the ice cream needs to freeze
longer, pour water out of the large can. Set the small can inside
the large can, adding more ice and rock salt as needed. When the ice
cream is ready, there will be about a half inch of frozen mixture on
the sides of the can, the rest still in near-liquid form. With a
kitchen knife scrape down the frozen ice cream and stir it into the
liquid ice cream to create the right consistency.
Makes about 2 cups.
*Chopped frozen fruit may be added with the syrup if desired. It
also speeds freezing. |
