Summer’s Perfect Treat
Part of our backyard campout last weekend included homemade ice cream, summer’s most perfect treat. I thought I’d share the recipe with you.
Makes 1 gallon
2 14 ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
5 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups fresh berries, sprinkled with sugar and masehd with a potato masher
Combine all ingredients in a freezer canister for ice cream. Freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.
You’re also going to need a new extra things like severl bags of ice and some rock salt to melt the ice. Hopefully you have an ice cream maker laying around. I got three for my wedding, so we were well-prepared in that area. Visit recipes for homemade ice cream and how to’s on how this process works.
Tip: Our family only invited several people over to eat the ice cream and it’s a good thing because we all ate three bowls each. It was absolutely silent for 10 minutes while people indulged. We dipped lemon cookies into the ice cream to further indulge. So if you want to really pig out (which you will) keep the guest list small. Leftovers are always fun, too.
