I am looking for recipes for making ice cream in an ice cream maker. Everything that I have found so far asks for heavy whipping cream, and it is so expensive. Are there any recipes out there that use common ingredients. I picked up a brand new ice cream maker at a garage sale for $.50, and would love to use it. Thanks for the ideas in advance.

I am so glad to have found this site. My daughter is a missionary in Northern Ghana, Africa where heavy whipping cream is only available if you own the cow. The temperatures are so high that she cannot transport perishable from the nearest non-village town 45 min. away. She has some kind of liquid gas powered freezer, though, and a little solar power and dearly loves ice cream. Thanks!

This is a response to the sherbet, making your own sherbet, GREAT. It's so easy to do, the recipe that I am talking about is 1 envelope of unsweetened Koolaid and 1 cup sugar, 3 cups milk, stir and freeze. I did that last night, tonight we ate it, NOT BAD. How many calories are in this recipe, I am watching my calories.

2 Cups 3.25% milk
1 Cup sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla essence
Mix well to disolve the sugar
Add 2 and a half cups of 18% cream
Mix well
Put in ice cream maker .
If wanted you can add half a cup of Cocoa powder to this mixture before it goes into the machine to make this vanilla ice cream into chocolate ice cream

I'm going to experiment using evaporated milk instead of the cream.....it might just work.

I got this recipe from Southern Living Magazine.
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
2 cups whole milk
2 tbl sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Make according to your instructions-- it's great!
Makes 1 quart--easily doubled.
The chocolate recipe is as follows:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
2 cups chocolate milk
1 cup chocolate syrup
Mix according to directions of your maker. It's great;tastes like a Wendy's Frosty

You do not cook this recipe.

To lower the fat content of the ice cream, substitute low-fat milk for whole milk, whole milk for half & half, and evaporated skim milk for whipping cream. Using lower fat content ingredients will affect the texture of the ice cream. Higher fat content ingredients produce a richer, creamier and smoother ice cream.

BIG RED ICE CREAM

I love this on nice warm days and it is not hard to make.
1 can carnation sweet condensed milk
1 pint fresh strawberries or pack of frozen without sugar
1 large bottle of strawberry crush soda, I can't remember if it is one or two liter bottle buy the big one and use as much as you need and drink the rest (It's the 2 liter)
1 packet of sweet and low sweeter.
Put the condensed milk and strawberries and sweetener in blender and add soda a little at a time so as not to foam over--I've done that a lot and had to clean up the mess. Blend well. Now pour into your ice-cream freezer and add soda to fill line. Now you are ready to close up and start your machine. Mine is automatic and cuts off when ice-cream is ready. You will know the instructions for yours.
You can also use peach soda and peaches. Use your imagination. It freezes well if you don't use it all at once.

Here are some recipes in my file, I have not tried them:

Ice Cream

Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream
3 cups (1 - 1/2 pints) half and half 1 (14 oz.) 1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 cup pureed or mashed strawberries 1 Tbsp. vanilla
red food coloring, optional
In ice cream freezer container, combine all ingredients; mix well.
Follow freezer instructions. Freeze leftovers.
Vanilla Ice Cream: Omit fruit and food coloring. Decrease half and half to 2 cups; add 2 cups unwhipped whipping cream. Increase vanilla to 2 Tbsp. Proceed as above.

Kool-Aid Sherbet
Here is a frugal recipe for Kool-Aid Sherbet the kids will love:
1 cup sugar 1 envelope of any flavor unsweetened Kool-Aid 3 cups milk
Blend above ingredients and freeze for 1 hour. Remove from freezer and blend until smooth. Refreeze. YUMMY!

HOME-MADE ICE CREAM
3 lg. cans evaporated milk 1 qt. whole milk 1 dozen eggs 1 tsp. vanilla
Sugar (2 c. or to taste)
Combine evaporated milk and whole milk in a double boiler or a thick-bottomed sauce pan. Start this mixture on LOW heat. When milk has begun to steam add SOME of the hot mixture to the beaten eggs and pour this mixture into the remainder of the heated milk. Gradually add sugar to taste. Cook over moderate heat until this begins to thicken.
NOTE: This mixture will scorch or stick to pan if not watched carefully.
Let cool and add vanilla and favorite fruit. For example if pineapple is used, pour 1
large can and 1 small can (including juice) into cooked custard.
Pour in freezer and freeze

Walmarts in Tx have a mix that only calls for whole milk. I believe it is 2.00 and they have all flavors

Maybe use light whipping cream with whole milk.
You'll get the thickness, and lose the glossy residue on your lips from using heavy whipping cream. Skim milk will cause the homemade ice cream to crystalize when frozen for a while.

Homemade ice cream exp. 4 times thus far. So take that into consideration.
