Search for Homemade Ice Cream

I was searching for ice cream recipes for M's Little House On the Prairie 9th birthday party. We had the old fashioned crank machine (which the daddies nicely churned!) and just needed a good recipe! I looked at so many (including the one that came with the machine in 1950) that I started mixing them up. Below is one that had no picture attached, so I couldn't pin it. It seems worth referring to, at least. 


Low-fat French Vanilla Ice Cream
There's nothing better to top off a meal than a big bowl of homemade ice cream. If you've made your own ice cream before you know the ingredients: whole eggs, whole milk and cream. Those ingredients add up to lots of fat. So I've remade a recipe for French vanilla ice cream. It's smooth and creamy like the original, and while it's low in fat it's anything but low in flavor. 

Be sure to use vanilla flavoring instead of real vanilla.
Real vanilla extract contains alcohol
which sometimes keeps the 
ice cream from freezing. 
Dress up your homemade
ice cream with fresh fruits
or prepared topping.
Just make sure to check the 
ingredient label to for fat and calorie information.

Ingredients:
2 cups skim milk 
1 cup sugar 
4 eggs, beaten 
2 cups evaporated skim milk 
1 1/2 tbsp. vanilla flavoring 
Preparation:
Combine milk, sugar and eggs in large saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats spoon (160 degrees), about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. 
Stir in evaporated milk and vanilla flavoring. Chill. 

Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturers directions. Makes about 2 quarts. 

...so enjoy!
