Many of us when we grew up all remember making homemade ice cream. Growing up in North Dakota, we used to make ice cream in an electric ice cream maker, that you had to have the ice and salt, along the outside edge and the motor would turn the can till the ice cream was made, but never fail the ice would get cause it to stop spinning as it would start binding on the outside of the container.
Well now the makers of the machines have even simplified it even more. Below you see an ice cream maker, a 1 quart size, that we recieved from Ricki and Grant that Ricki found in a thrift store and tried it out and sent it to us. Notice there is no empty spaces aroud the inside can area, because the whole outside shell is placed in a freezer and after 10 hours or so the liquid in it is froze solid.
Once you bring it out of the freezer you assemble the motor and cover and pour in the rich creamy
recipe for ice cream you make beforehand. Then you flip the switch and about 20-40 minutes depending upon your recipe and the amount you make, you have a nice soft serve ice cream.
Below it is working away constantly going around and around.
The first batch we made was a coconut ice cream! Oh so refreshing!
We had plenty left that is now frozen nice and hard in our freezer!
One problem with this whole process, the ice cream recipe called for 2 cups of cream, not a good diet type of food, we will have to try some of the frozen yogurt recipes next!
Thank you Ricki and Grant!
