It is a hot day. My children want to make ice cream but I don't want to buy an ice cream maker. Any how to's

I know we will only make the ice cream once or twice. I do not want to spend money on an ice cream maker I would also need to find a place to store it. So, I need to know if it is possible to make ice cream without the maker?It is a hot day. My children want to make ice cream but I don't want to buy an ice cream maker. Any how to's
Here is a recipe for my favorite ice cream.


1 can of evaporated milk (12oz)


1/2 cup of sugar


1 cup of crushed pineapple


1 large ripe banana mashed


1 teaspoon of vanilla





Place all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix to combine. Use a zip-lock sandwich bag and a freezer bag. Put about a cup of the ice cream mixture into the sandwich bag. Seal tightly. Put the sandwich bag into the freezer bag fill the bag with ice. Add about 1/8 cup of salt. Shake for about 20 minutes, use a towel because it will get cold. When the ice cream is frozen, take out the sandwich bag and rinse quickly under cold water. Cut a corner off the end of the bag and squeeze out the ice cream.





You can also use two coffee cans. This is really fun! Fill a small coffee can about 3/4ths the way full with the ice cream mixture. Put on the lid and use strong tape to seal. Place into a large coffee can. Fill the can with ice and add about 1/4 cup of salt. Tape the large can shut. Roll back and forth on the floor for about 20 minutes to 1/2 hour...depending on the room temperature. Remove the small can and rinse under cold water to remove the salt, open and enjoy! I have done both of these techniques and they work very well.It is a hot day. My children want to make ice cream but I don't want to buy an ice cream maker. Any how to's

just tell them ';NO';.
I bought this machine at bed and bath= you can keep liner in freezer to be ready when you want it, but you put yogurt in this machine with cold liner, add berries, honey and you have a good for you frozen yogurt, soy milk or what ever also and its an ice cream type thing. Frozen daquiris also. But I also make this frozen yogurt from martha stewart and keep it in the freezer in ice cube trays covered up with foil. Yogurt, oj, strawberries any berry, and sweetner slightly blend, pour into ice cube tray. I serve kids on overnights this yrs ago and they demand their mothers call me for the recipe! Check it out on marthas web site.
It isn't because they want the ice cream, just the sweetness of it. Try pouring fruit juice (pineapple, orange, strawberry, etc.) into an ice tray, get if cold and hard then put cubes into a blender and add a cup of cream or whole milk turn on the blender until a mush is made and then serve in a bowl. The taste will be sweet and fruity with the consistency of ice cream.

What you will need:





2 freezer bags (one has to be smaller then the other one)








In the small freezer bag:





2 tablespoons vanilla extract


1 cup of milk


2 tablespoons sugar


4 tablespoons pure cream








In the big freezer bag:





25 ice cubes (if big cubes put 15, if small put 25)


5 tablespoons iodized salt (if normal salt, put in 10 tbsp)





Gather all ingredients.


Put the ingredients in each bag as specified. After, close the small bag, sealing well so that there are no leaks, and put it into the big bag.





Mix the contents of the bags well for at least 10-15 minutes. It should be thick and creamy. If so, then remove contents of inner bag and serve.





If the inner bag's contents are still liquid, put some more ice cubes and salt in the outer back and rub the two of the bags together longer.
make a simple cooked custard recipe then put it into a bread pan and freeze it (be sure to put a piece of wax paper directly on top of the custard or it will pick up some funky tastes).
there are usually recipes on kosher salt packages, when you make it with a plastic bag. it turns out pretty good.
take some kool-aid, put it into an ice tray, freeze it, and when it's frozen, put it in a blender and you have some fun slushees.....!!!!
I know what you mean ice cream makers can be EXPENSIVE!


Try this it is very tasty and fast.


WHAT YOU NEED:


1/2 cup sugar


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 cup milk


3 beaten egg yolks


1 tablespoon vanilla extract


and


2 cups chilled whipping cream


(To make a different flavor)


chocolate syrup(use to liking) for chocolate ice cream


or


2 cups of strawberries for strawberry ice cream





HOW TO MAKE:


Put the sugar, salt, and milk into the top pan of a double boiler. The water in the bottom part of the double boiler will boil, and the temperature will never rise above the boiling point of water. This ensures that we don't overcook the mixture, even if we get distracted.Stir the 3 beaten egg yolks into the milk and sugar.Cook the mixture over boiling water until you can see bubbles forming around the edges of the mixture.The mixture is done when it is somewhat thick, and coats the spoon.Let the mixture cool to room temp.When it has cooled, stir in the vanilla extract and the heavy whipping cream.The fun part is about to begin. This is where having a bunch of kids to help is really nice.Pour a cup of the ice cream mixture into a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag.Zip the bag closed, and put it into another sandwich bag for safety, and zip that one closed as well.Fill a gallon size food storage zip-lock bag about one third full of ice cubes. Add a cup of salt (we used rock salt, but any kind will do).Zip the large bag closed, and wrap it in a towel to keep fingers from getting too cold.





Make a bag for everyone (this recipe will make enough for three or four servings, and you can double or quadruple the recipe if you are having a party).





Now have each person squish the little bag around in the salt and ice, making sure that the ice contacts the little bag as much as possible, and that the little bag gets lots of kneading, to keep the ice crystals tiny, so the ice cream is very smooth.





The kneading stage takes 10 minutes. You can let the ice cream sit in the ice for another 5 minutes if you like harder ice cream, although continuing to knead it for the extra 5 minutes is also OK to do if you're having fun. You will know the ice cream is done by feeling the mixture become a paste instead of a liquid. When you take the little bag out of the ice, wipe off the salt water, and then remove the outer bag carefully, so you don't get salt in the ice cream. The little bag will stand up in the bowl, because it is a frozen paste.You can spoon the ice cream into a bowl if you like, or just eat it out of the bag.


Hope that helps HAVE FUN!:)
