Ingredients
Ice Cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce (optional)
Equipment
- 4 - 6 cups crushed ice
- 1/4 cup salt
- 2 quart-size plastic food storage bags
- 1 gallon-size plastic freezer bag
- 1 hand towel or gloves
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the milk, vanilla, sugar and chocolate (if using) together in one of the quart bags. Seal tightly. Allow as little air inside as possible. Place this bag inside the other quart bag and seal.
- Put the double bagger bag inside the gallon-size bag and fill the big bag with ice. Salt the ice. Seal.
- Wrap the bag in the towel or put gloves on and massage so the ice surrounds the cream mixture and begins to freeze. Depending on your touch, you should have soft serve in 10 to 15 minutes. (Add additional freeze time in your freezer to convert into firmer ice cream.)
