Homemade Ice Cream

I have had several requests for our Ice Cream recipe from friends, so I thought I would share it here as well.
We mix it in the Kitchen Aid, then pour it into the ice cream maker. We use a machine that will hold about 5 Cups of liquid.

Cream together:
4 eggs (Yes RAW eggs!!)
2 1/2 cups sugar

Add:
1 pint cream
1 quart 1/2 & 1/2
4 1/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt

Pour into Ice Cream Machine cylinder and add milk up to fill line.
Add your ice around the cylinder, layered with rock salt, and turn on. Make sure to keep adding salt as it goes, very important!!!

This recipe makes a nice thick ice cream that does not melt super fast. And when put in the freezer it does not freeze SOLID like others we have tried. It only has to sit for a minute before you can scoop it.

Add in ideas:

• chocolate syrup
• crushed pineapple
• strawberry jam (Or any other kind. We like peach)
• any kind of fruit puree
• marshmallows
• chocolate covered peanuts
  

Or just eat it plain...which is my favorite way!! :D
ENJOY!!
