BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Desserts Making Ice Cream

I have an electric ice cream maker and love using it. Regular vanilla or chocolate chip are my favorites. Does anyone else love homemade ice cream? It's so easy ... and so delicious ...

Here's some fun for camping or scouting -

ICE CREAM IN A BAG!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup milk or half & half
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons rock salt
1 pint-size ziploc plastic bag
1 gallon-size ziploc plastic bag
ice cubes

Directions:
Fill the large bag half full of ice and add the rock salt. Seal the bag. Put milk, vanilla and sugar into the small bag and seal it. Place the small bag inside the large bag and seal it again. Shake until the mixture turns into ice cream, about 5 minutes. Top with sprinkles, nuts or any other topping and serve. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We make it a few times a week. We have Rival that we just freeze then make the ice cream, must have paddle thingie moving first otherwise it freezes to the mix and won't move.
