Equipment

  • an ice cream maker

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Beat four eggs in a large bowl and then add two tall cans of evaporated milk, 2 cups of sugar, and 3 cups of whole milk that is pretty fresh.
  • Add one tablespoon plus two teaspoons of vanilla.
  • Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Pour this into an airtight container or cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  • Let rest for at least 30 minutes and pour into your ice maker, following the instructions. This makes a gallon of ice cream so it is great for a party and great in a large ice cream maker. This ice cream maker makes a whole gallon at a time. If you use this kind, you will need to surround it with ice and salt. Ice cream salt works really well, as does kosher salt. You should need about 1/4 teaspoon per batch.
  • It should take 20 - 30 minutes for your ice cream to be ready. Ideally, make your ice cream indoors in the air conditioning. If the air temperature is really hot, it will take longer for the ice cream to form and your ice will keep melting.

Notes

Our ice cream maker is a little smaller, only 1.5 quarts instead of 4. We have the white version, but I love that it now comes in a fun red color. If you have an ice cream maker similar to this one, you will need to do two batches that take about 15 - 20 minutes each.
