Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup half-and-half

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 cups crushed ice

2 cups coarse salt (rock salt)

Optional: 1/3 cup sliced strawberries or fruit of your choice.

Directions

Thoroughly clean a large and a small coffee can with lids.

In smaller can, combine cream, half-and-half, sugar and vanilla.

Cover with lid and place in the center of larger can. Pack 3 cups ice around smaller can along with 1 cup salt.

Roll can back and forth across a hard, level surface for 10 minutes.

With a spatula, scrape ice cream to center and stir. (If you are adding fruit, do so at this time.)

Repack larger can with remaining ice and salt. Continue rolling until firm, about 5 minutes. Keep frozen.

Makes about one quart of ice cream or 4 servings.

This really works, huh? What about if you want to do chocolate or coffee ice cream? How do you incorporate it? This could be great, I love the simplicity.~~~~~~~~Sas

O.k. so I made the ice cream. It really works. I laid on a towel on my bed, watched OPRAH and rolled my ice cream. I made chocolate by using powdered Ghirardelli chocolate. I will be making this a lot because the initial investment was $32.00 in supplies. I had no coffee cans and couldn't find anything on the shelves to resemble the sizes I needed. Cream WOOOOOOW expensive. But I will be making more today to use up the rest of the goods. I have a ton of coffee if anyone wants to come over for a potful and a cone or two of ice cream.~~~~~~~~Sas

Yes...well when making for girl scouts, it really is less expensive. And some of the girls parents already have coffee cans. Glad you tried it. :)
