Okay, while I'm not convinced this is the absolute best way to make homemade ice cream, it was fun. The kids thought it was pretty cool as the stuff thickened in the bag and had a good time eating it at the end. Although, you must be warned. The rock salt has a tendency to get into the ice cream if you aren't careful. Matthew and Layla had that rotten luck. But that was only two out of nine bags being made--not too bad, right??
Ingredients
1/2 cup half & half
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 sandwich ziploc bag
1 gallon ziploc bag
3 cups crushed ice
1/3 cup rock salt
Directions
1. Put first 3 ingredients in the smaller Ziploc bag and seal it (tight, tight, tight!!! Very important.) Put ice and rock salt in the larger bag and then add the filled smaller bag inside. Seal the large bag.
2. Squeeze (shake, mush around) bag until ice cream is thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Remove small bag, unseal and enjoy. (to remove from bag, we found turning the bag inside out and scraping contents into a bowl to be the best. Again, just watch out for the salt.)
Makes one serving size
