Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire First attempt at home made ice cream

I make the wendys frosty at least once every summer

And a peach too. Waiting on the freestones to come in

Cantaloupe and cream didn't make it myself, but I loved it.

"Patience, grasshopper"- - - - -when you encounter one of those pieces of hard-frozen fruit just tuck it "between cheek and gum" like a dip of Skoal, and let it thaw slowly. Eating home brewed ice cream isn't a sprint- - - -it's more like a leisurely stroll in the park.

Right
Right

Youre not suppose to eat ice cream like a bricklayer at Mr Gatti’s

Wendy's has a new strawberry frosty. That sucker is really dang good.

We haven’t hand cranked some ice cream in a few decades. Good stuff though

My older ice cream freezer became as a brass polisher

Lets see you and your Uncle Herzog sit on your Idaho porch and do that, which your bolo ties on and sheeitt

Spotshooter: Better luck next batch - what flavor you makin?

Right now to keep it simple I’m just doing vanilla

Spotshooter;
Good afternoon sir, I hope you're getting the weather down in Kansas that you need and besides the ice cream making wrinkles you're all well.

When we were kids I recall us having a wooden one much like SandBilly showed in the video link. but smaller and only a hand crank.

I can't recall ever making anything other than vanilla and perhaps one's recollections are better as they age, but I recall it as excellent.

When our girls were little we had a tiny ice cream maker that we'd make ice cream with them too now that I think of it. Had completely slipped my gears until I started typing the response.

They liked it, that much I recall and I don't recall it as bad either, but it might have come with flavor packets and we'd just add the cream? Sorry I can't recall that detail but they had one too.

Good luck with the process though as I do believe it was pretty good stuff. When we buy the more expensive "creamery" style ice cream up here and French Vanilla flavor it most reminds me of the flavor of what we did 50 years ago.

Thanks kindly for the fond memories both from my own childhood and our girls' as well.

All the best and good luck with the ice cream making quest.

If done right with a good recipe nothing store bought can compare

I still hand crank homemade ice cream. I ain’t using one of them new fangled ‘lectric makers. 😁

Do this.

Beat two eggs until well beaten. Add 3/4 cup of sugar. Beat until smooth. Add two cups of ice cold heavy cream and one cup of ice cold whole millk. Add the scrape from one whole vanilla bean. Beat well, add to your Cuisinart and let it go.

Make sure that liner has been in the freezer for a minimum of 24 hrs before beginning. It takes a long time to freeze solid.

I've got a White Mountain 6 qt ice cream maker. White Mtn is the best as far as I'm concerned, had it for about 35 yrs now and its still in decent shape. Last time I made ice cream I put Baileys Irish cream and cinnamon in it, that was some of the best.

All you need is heavy cream, whole milk , sugar and a little vanilla

Baileys and cinnamon sounds pretty darn good…

Success !!!

OK - what I did different was to put the milk on the stove and slowly stir / melt the sugar into the milk until it was dissolved along with the vanilla…

Then I added the heavy cream and stirred then chilled it…

Then I made the ice cream using the regular method…

NICE !!!

If you want the whiskey flavor without the antifreeze effects of the alcohol, warm up the booze in a microwave before adding it to the mix- - - - -alcohol evaporates at 180 degrees F. or so. I use Mexican vanilla extract- - - -real vanilla, not imitation, but it does not contain any alcohol.

I feel sorry for you guys with no huckleberries. 😁

I see a good deal of recipes with Egg whites…. Um…. Are those good or not.
