ice cream in a bag
This is a well-known way to make your own ice cream - without the big machine. The kids love to help too! Your outcome might vary, depending on weather, humidity, etc. Have fun trying out the different flavors and toppings. 1 T sugar
1/2 cup milk or half-n-half or whipping cream
1/4 tsp vanilla (GF)
6 T rock salt
1 pint-size ziploc/plastic bag
1 gallon-size ziploc/plastic bag
ice cubes - 1-2 trays worth
Fill the larger bag half-full of ice, and then add the rock salt. Seal the bag while you prepare the next smaller bag. Put the milk, vanilla and sugar into the small bag - and then seal it well. Place the small bag inside the larger one and seal again carefully. Shake both bags until mixture is ice cream, only about 5 minutes!! You can eat it right out of the bag, or freeze for later enjoyment!!
You can top with nuts, fresh fruit or any favorite topping. You can also double the recipe, or use other containers to make larger amounts (with any seal-able container). I have heard of people using 1 & 3 pound coffee cans, with resealable lids! You can also improvise and use juice in place of milk for a sorbet!! This is how Justin's grandma makes it, I think with Pineapple juice? You could also add cocoa/chocolate syrup too.
glory to Violet McNabb, 93 and still making it!!
