Recipe: Homemade Ice-Cream

Last year on July 4th I started the tradition of making homemade ice cream to enjoy throughout the day.  Here is my simple recipe that does not include eggs.  Most homemade ice-creams require raw eggs and this one in my opinion is safer for kids to eat.  If you are dieting or eating healthy then this is not the ice-cream for you but everything in moderation, right?  Splurge a little and enjoy this delicious treat. 

It's a vanilla base and the last 10 minutes you can add whatever candy or fruit you desire.  This year, I added Butterfinger candy bars and it was delicious.  Freezing it over night only makes it better so make this a day in advance. 

Homemade Vanilla Ice-cream
Recipe good for a 6 qt ice-cream machine.

6 Cups heavy whipping cream
3 Cups whole milk
2 Cups Sugar
1 Tablespoon PURE vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Add in options:
**Candy of your choice 3-4 normal sized Snickers, Butterfinger.
**1 bag of miniature Reese's peanut butter cups or 1 bag of M&M's
Fresh strawberries, peaches, blackberries

Mix the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl.  Chill mixture.  After its chilled pour into your ice-cream freezer and start freezing according to your manufactures directions. 

For my ice-cream machine it takes 40-50 minutes to thicken up, I freeze it overnight and its ready to eat and enjoy the next day. 




Enjoy your family~
