Home Made Ice Cream

Image result for Ice cream

Although technically not a vintage type recipe.  I have decided to include this recipe because ice cream has been a popular desert and treat ever since the ice cream cone was introduced at the 1904 World's Fair in St Louis.   This super easy recipe can easily be made at home without an ice cream freezer.  Enjoy!

Home Made Ice cream - Easy - No ice cream freezer required

1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons Watkins Baking Vanilla OR your favorite Watkins Extract
Pinch of salt
2 cups of heavy cream, cold (whipping cream)
1 metal loaf pan 9x5x3, chilled in the freezer

Directions

In a separate, large bowl mix together the condensed milk, vanilla or extract, & salt.
Whip the cream with a mixer on medium high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.
Fold about 1 cup of the whipped into the condensed milk with a spatula.  Then add the remaining whipped cream until everything is well blended.  Pour into the chilled metal loaf pan.  Freeze, covered until completely frozen.

If you are adding mix-ins like fruit, cookies etc.  Freeze the mixture for 2 hours until soft serve consistency.  Swirl in desired mix-ins with a spoon.  Then return to the freezer and continue to freeze for additional 3 hours.
