| I just dug out my ice cream maker and wondered if anyone had any recipes they would like to share? My Donvier freezer makes 1 quart. |

| Not any kind of exotic or unique recipe, but our favorite is 3 c skim milk, 3/4 c sugar, and some vanilla. Let ice cream go till almost set, 30 mins on my machine and then mix in whatever you want to flavor it. Favorites here are pureed fruits, mushed up cookies/brownies, etc., peanutbutter, whatever is on hand :) Oh, forgot to check if you said it was electric or crank--ours is electric |

We just made vanilla gelato yesterday. Here is my recipe
6 Large Egg Yolks
3/4 Cup Of Granulated Sugar
2 1/2 Cups Whole Milk
1 Cup Heavy Cream
1 Tbs. Real Vanilla
1 tsp. dried lavender (optional)
Pinch of Salt
In a large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until light and thick. Add the lavender to a mesh tea ball and place in a medium saucepan. Add the milk, cream, vanilla, and salt and heat over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges. Remove the tea ball. Remove from the heat. Take 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture, and slowly whisk it into the beaten eggs. Next whisk the egg mixture into the saucepan. Cook over low heat stirring continuosly until the mixture thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a metal bowl and refrigerate until cold. Once the custard mixture is cold, transfer it into an ice cream maker and churn following the manufacturers instructions. Serve immediately, or freeze in an airtight container until you are ready to use.

I have a good one I got from a woman I knew in Wyoming.
6 eggs
1 quart 1/2 & 1/2
1 pint Heavy Cream
1 cup (more if you like it sweeter) powdered sugar
1 tsp real vanilla
The controversial part of this recipe is that the mixture is not cooked. Beat eggs then add the rest of the ingredients and mix together until smooth. Mixture can be poured into ice cream maker immediately. And I learned from this woman that using table salt instead of rock salt in the ice made the icer cream turn out with a smoother consistency. Also, this is the only ice cream recipe I have ever found that stays creamy and smooth even if leftovers have been put in the deep freezer. It is truly the best home-made ice cream I've ever had.
The chief source of failure and unhapiness is trading what you want the most for what you want at the moment. |

This is the recipe I used last night. It turned out yummy!
3 C greek yogurt (mine was non-fat so I added cream)
1 C heavy cream
1/2 to 3/4 C raw honey
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
I mixed it all together and put it in the freezer. It was so good and rich. I might put less cream in next time. One scopp is about all you can eat.
Tonight we are making nectarine frozen yogurt! |
