Pretty Pumped for Homemade Ice Cream!

Evan is my Homemade Ice Cream Helper!
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream - YES PLEASE!  We made this last night and it was wonderful.  A huge thank you to my Aunt Sandra who mixed and matched recipes to make this perfect ice cream!  Now that I have it perfected, it is time to experiment with flavors - BRING ON SUMMER WEATHER!


Items Needed:
- Ice Cream Maker
- Bag of Ice
- Ice Cream Salt (In the Culligan Man's Home - Rock Salt :)







Ingredients For Vanilla Ice Cream:
 - 6 Eggs
 - 2 tsp Vanilla (I love Mexican Vanilla...brought home from Puerto Vallarta)
 - 3 cups Sugar
 - 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
 - 1 quart of Half and Half
 - Whole Milk 

In a large bowl, whisk 6 eggs.  Add 2 tsp vanilla - more or less to taste.  Mix in 3 cups of sugar and blend well.  Add in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, and 4 cups of half and half.  Whisk together.....



Pour into Ice Cream Freezer.  Add mixer/blade (what cha ma call it) to freezer and add whole milk to the line.  Make sure there is at least 3 inches at the top so the ice cream has room to expand, otherwise it will not freeze well.  Surround with ice and salt and turn your ice cream machine on! Attach the motor, plug in and wait... for creamy, yummy vanilla ice cream!
