Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream: A Classic Treat for Any Occasion

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Eggs:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are well blended.
  2. Combine Ingredients:
    • Add the evaporated milk, vanilla extract, whole milk, cornstarch, and sugar to the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Prepare the Ice Cream Maker:
    • Set up your old-fashioned ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the inner canister and paddles are properly cleaned and ready for use.
  4. Pour the Mixture:
    • Pour the ice cream mixture into the canister of the ice cream maker.
  5. Start Churning:
    • Begin the churning process. This may involve cranking a handle or turning on a motor, depending on the type of ice cream maker you have. Continue churning until the mixture thickens to a soft-serve consistency. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Freeze the Ice Cream:
    • Once the ice cream has reached the desired consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Place the container in the freezer and let it harden for several hours or overnight for a firmer texture.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Scoop the homemade vanilla ice cream into bowls or cones and enjoy the rich, creamy treat.
