Store Bought Ice Cream Maker: If you have one, this is the simplest way. Some come with a crank (those large wooden ones with the metal canister inside). There are also some outdoor makers being sold now, that are made for kicking around (you could play a game of soccer with one!).
Coffee Cans: Place ingredients in small cleaned coffee can, and seal lid. Place small can into a 3 lb. coffee can. Put ice and rock salt in between the cans. Put lid on the large can. Roll can, stop and drain water out, and put more ice and rock salt in. Continue until ice cream is firm.
Plastic Bags: Use a large and a small ziploc bag. Place the ingredients in the small bag, the small bag in the big bag, and the ice and rock salt in between the two bags. Then shake the bags until the ice cream is firm. This is a little more risky (sometimes the rock salt will leak through a crack in the small bag), but is a great way to make individual servings. |
