Instructions
- Begin by ensuring you have a well-cleaned 1-pound coffee can and a 3-pound coffee can, as these will serve as your ice cream makers.
- In the small coffee can, combine the milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Once mixed, securely place the plastic lid on the small can and insert it into the larger 3-pound coffee can.
- To create the freezing environment, fill the space between the two cans with crushed ice, then sprinkle in 1/4 cup of salt.
- Firmly place the lid on the large can to keep everything contained.
- Gently roll the large can back and forth on a flat surface for about 10 minutes. This action helps the mixture freeze evenly.
- After 10 minutes, pause to scrape the inside of the small can with a spoon to ensure no mixture is left unmixed.
- Carefully drain any water that accumulates in the larger can, then repack it with ice and add another 1/4 cup of salt.
- Continue rolling the large can for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to freeze further.
- Finally, remove the small can, scoop out your freshly made ice cream, and enjoy!
This delightful recipe is perfect for a quick and easy dessert that brings the whole family together.
