I got a hand crank Ice Cream Maker for my anniversary. I would love to make home made ice cream and need a recipe. What I'm supposed to do with this recipe would be good too. I've never made home made ice cream and would love to try it.
I would have read the instuction book if it came with one!

Homemade Ice Cream Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe


Here are two different kinds of recipe for Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. The first is made with a custard base (eggs and cream) and the second is a 'quick' recipe ideal for kids!

Custard base recipe
Ingredients:
4 egg yolks, 1/2 pint (250ml) milk, 1/2 pint (250ml) double/heavy cream, 4 oz (100g) sugar or caster sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or according to taste - everyone's different!)

First of all scald the milk (bring slowly up to boiling point in a saucepan). Separately, mix together the egg yolks and sugar until thick. Pour into this the hot milk, whilst continuously stirring. Then pour the mixture back into the pan and heat gently, stirring until the custard thickens - DO NOT BRING TO THE BOIL OR IT WILL PROBABLY CURDLE. When you can see a film form over the back of your spoon it's time to remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to cool. This is the custard base and one you can use in many other recipes. When the custard base is cold, stir in the cream and vanilla extract, then transfer the whole mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

I would like to make some homemade custard and was wondering if anyone has used a home ice cream maker to make homemade custard or if you know that you can use it for custard.
I would like to make some homemade frozen custard and was wondering if anyone has used a home ice cream maker to make homemade frozen custard or if you know that you can use it for custard.

Answer
Yes, you can. Make the custard from mix or recipes to fill the ice cream freezer to the line. use double the amount of flavorings called for in the mix or recipe. and freeze it.

I usually use 4 large packages of instant pudding and pie filling and half whole milk and half evaporated milk to fill the freezer container to the fill line, then add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of vanilla extract to it and turn on the freezer.

My mom passed away and she used to make it all the time, unforunatly I wasn't able to get the receipe from her. I know she used Birds custard and evaporated milk and I think some vanilla. She boiled all in a big pot on the stove and then used a ice cream maker to churn it until frozen. Has anyone ever make their homemade custard ice cream this way? I'll appreciate any help!!!

How do I make ice cream that doesn't taste like cooked milk?

frozen custard maker image

I've tried a few different custard-based ice cream recipes, experimenting with different types of milk and cream, but they all end up tasting strongly like cooked milk, even when I just gently warm the milk and sugar, and don't boil them. This isn't a good thing, since I want to make creamy, milky ice cream that tastes fresh - not cooked. I'm thinking I need to find a different source for the milk and cream I use, but I'm posting to see if the community has any other suggestions.

Answer
eww why do you heat it? you dont have to. Here is a no cook ice cream recipe.
Easy Vanilla Ice Cream
(Makes 1 Quart)

1 cup whole milk, chilled
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream or half and half, chilled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1. Whisk sugar into milk until completely dissolved.

2. Stir in cream and vanilla extract.

3. Add mixture to ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer to an airtight container and ripen in freezer for two or more hours.

If you dont have an ice cream maker do this: Make sure you have a bowl that’s quite wide to use for the churning/freezing process that comes next.

Take your ice cream recipe mixture and carefully pour it into the bowl, then chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours, checking on it after 1 hour. The reason it can take longer than an hour is when a recipe mixture has had cooked ingredients added, therefore thorough chilling will take longer.

Take the bowl out of the fridge and transfer to the freezer for about half an hour. Then check just how much the mixture has frozen - ideally, it should have started to freeze at the edges but not fully through to the centre.

Take the bowl out of the freezer and beat the ice cream mixture until it’s creamy once again (to dislodge and break up the ice crystals that have formed).

Put it back in the freezer for another half hour, then remove and once again beat with a whisk.

Do this again so that you have beaten the mixture a total of 3 times whilst freezing in between.

Put the mixture back into the freezer for a final time until it’s ready to eat. This can take anything from 30 minutes upwards, depending upon the quantity and type of ice cream you’re making and also how you like the consistency of your ice cream (some people like it softer, some harder).

Hope this helps!!
