2 C (450 ml) heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Heat granulated sugar
and 1/4 C (60 ml) of the water in a large skillet on medium high heat until
the sugar melts and
boils, stirring occasionally. Boil until mixture is a dark brown; remove fromheat. Gradually stir in remaining 3/4 C (180 ml) water. (I love this part, cause the syrup boils up
when the hot water is added) Cool to room temperature and set aside. Beat eggs in a medium
bowl until thick and lemon colored; gradually beat in powdered sugar. Stir in cream and vanilla; stir
in the caramel mixture. Chill. Freeze in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s

a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and
water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan large enough to eventually hold themilk and cream. Dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat. This may take a while. An
alternative is to use the microwave, and then transfer the sugar solution to a saucepan. Increase
to high heat and cook the syrup until it is golden amber colored. While the sugar is carmelizing,
scald the milk and cream. As soon as the caramel is a golden-amber color, slowly add the milk
and cream, 2 T. at a time. Be very careful, as the mixture will bubble up. Whisk the caramel
cream into the eggs. Strain and refrigerate until cold. Freeze according to ice cream machine
instructions.

1/2 cup cocoa powder
(sifted)
2 tsp pure vanilla
extract
Beat egg yolks lightly.
Beat in sugar. Heat the cream/milk on the stove. As it's heating, beat in
cocoa powder. Heat
cream/milk/cocoa mix until steaming. Stir into egg/sugar mix. Add vanilla
extract. Cool. Freeze
in ice cream maker.
Notes:
I use Dutch processed
cocoa (instead of American processed), but I'm not sure how much
difference it makes.
I've tried using a higher milk fat content, but then the mix takes on the
consistency of pudding
when cooled, and doesn't freeze hard enough in ice cream maker.

Melt chocolate over low
heat while heating milk over low heat. Gradually stir milk into melted
chocolate. If you don't
stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump and you will have difficulty
breaking it down. If
you stir milk in gradually, chocolate will clump, but you'll be able to break
it
down when you add a
little more milk. Heat while stirring until smooth. Mixture will become thick.

COFFEE
version 1
1 can sweetened
condensed milk
1 C very strong coffee
liquid
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 C heavy cream,
whipped stiff
1 egg white, stiffly
beaten
Mix the ingredients together
in the order listed above and stir well. Freeze in a refrigerator tray
until mushy or about 1
short hour. Scrape bottom and sides, and beat mixture until smooth.
Return to refrigerator
and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
Comments: --------- I
have mixed the ingredients together and just left it in a wide tupperware
dish in the freezer
until frozen, without the extra beating and it was just fine. This ice cream is
one
of my favorites. It has
a smooth texture and you can vary the intensity of the flavor by how strong
you make the coffee.
Personally, I like it strong and will make the coffee by mixing 1 cup of a good
quality, freshly ground
coffee with 1 cup of hot water and letting it steep for a few minutes. Then I
strain out the coffee
grounds with cheese cloth or a coffee filter.
COFFEE
version 2
1 cup milk
1/4 cup ground coffee
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/8 tsp. salt

saucepan over medium high heat. When bubbles form around the edges of
pan, remove from heat.
Stir in coffee and half the sugar. In a slow and steady stream, whisk hot
mixture into bowl with
beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Return to saucepan. Add remaining
sugar and salt. Stir
constantly over medium high heat 3-4 minutes until mixture is thickened. Stir
in vanilla and 1 cup
half and half and chill in refrigerator. Strain through a very fine sieve or
cheesecloth. Add
remaining half and half and freeze in an ice cream maker 20-30 minutes until
frozen.
COFFEE
version 3
1 recipe Custard Ice
Cream Base
1/4 cup instant coffee
granules, preferable espresso
Mix about 1 cup of the
Custard Ice Cream Base together with the coffee. Stir over low heat until
the coffee is

CRYING
CAYENNE ICE CREAM

DIABETIC
ICE CREAM
8 oz Pet Lite Milk
4 pk Sugar Substitute
1 ts Vanilla
ADD ONE OF THE
FOLLOWING
2 ea Peach, peeled and
diced
1 ea Banana, mashed
4 sl Pineapple with
juice
8 oz Orange Juice
2 c Strawberries,
crushed
Directions: Mix all
together and put in freezer of refrigerator until hardened. Remove - break up -
put in blender and whip
until creamy. Serve. Can also be made in one of the small electric
machines, or one of
those that goes in freezer. Calories: 75 cal. Exchanges: 1/2 Milk and 1/2 Fruit
DILL
PICKLE
This was designed for
our expectant mothers. Sort of combines the whole shootin' match in one
dish. People always
want to know, is it dill or sweet? Well, it's both, and it's much better than
you'd
think. For this unusual
but very tasty ice cream, use the ice cream base for the Old Time Vanilla
Ice Cream. Then add 2
teaspoons of dill weed and freeze according to the manufacturer’s
directions. When the
ice cream is nearly frozen, add in 3/4 cup of chopped sweet pickles.
DOUBLE
CHOCOLATE
This is a double
chocolate ice cream guaranteed to get your endorphins flowing. It's made from
both Dutch process
cocoa and Baker's chocolate liqueur. Prepare the mix as for the Old Time
Vanilla (see recipe)
ice cream, but instead of the brown sugar, use ½ cup of white granulated
sugar. Set the mix
nearby after it is prepared. Then in a double boiler with the water hot but not
boiling, melt 2 ounces
of good quality baker’s unsweetened chocolate. When completely melted,
add 1 tablespoon of
Dutch chocolate cocoa powder. This chocolate sauce will thicken
immediately, so quickly
add some of the base mix, 1/4 cup at a time stirring constantly. The
chocolate sauce will
now thicken into a massive thick ball of chocolate. Keep adding base mix up
to a cup and keep
stirring until you have a smooth thick chocolate sauce. When it has cooled
slightly, add to the
base mix and stir vigorously. Not all the chocolate will dissolve; you’ll still
have
thousands of very tiny
chocolate bits in the mix, which is as it should be, but you'll prbably need to
strain out a number of
the larger chunks, perhaps several tablespoonfuls, but that's ok, that's how
you know you have a
supersaturated suspension of chocolate! Let the mix chill in the refrigerator
for four hours
(allowing it to age) and then freeze according to the directions with your ice
cream
freezer.

pinch of salt
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup rum
2 tablespoons dry
sherry
1 cup milk
2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg,
freshly grated
Cook the egg yolks,
sugar, salt, brandy, rum and sherry in a double boiler until very light and
thickened. Remove from
heat, add the milk and cream; cool. Beat the egg whites until stiff, fold
them in the cream
mixture. Pour into a ice cream machine and process according to
manufacturer's
directions. Sprinkle with nutmeg before serving.
FRENCH
VANILLA BEAN
This is an extremely
rich custard ice cream in the best French tradition and flavored with real
vanilla beans. In a
large mixing bowl, whisk three eggs, add 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened
condensed milk, 1/4 cup
brown sugar, 1 pint whipping cream, 1 pint Half and Half, and 1/8 tsp
salt. Mix thoroughly
and transfer to large saucepan. Take one long vanilla bean, split lengthwise
and chop into 1/4"
lengths, then add them to the saucepan. Heat the mix while stirring constantly
to a low simmer and
continue to simmer for about 15 minutes. Strain into a large bowl, straining
out the larger pieces
of vanilla bean. Allow to cool and age in the refrigerator for about four hours
and then freeze in an

FRESH
FRUIT
4 c. milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 c. heavy cream
2 T. vanilla
Sliced Peaches or
Strawberries
Prepare sliced peaches
or strawberries and sprinkle with sugar and allow to set until the make
juice. Use enough fruit
to make about 1 qt. of fruit puree. Put fruit and juice into blender and
coarsely puree. You
should have about 1 blender full or about 1 qt. Add fruit puree to the custard
mixture which has been
cooled or chilled overnight in the refrigerator. (I always make the custard
the day before and put
in refrigerator. I prepare the fruit and let it sit overnight in the
refrigerator as
well.) This recipe
assumes you have a 1 gallon freezer. The freezer can should never be filled
more that 3/4 full
because the ice cream expands as it freezes and it will overflow if the can is
too
full. You can also make
raspberry ice cream but don't use as many raspberries (probably 2 cups
of puree is enough) as
they have a much more intense flavor. Actually you can add just about any
fruit you would like to
try but these are all the ones I have tried.
FRESH
PEACH
2 c Ripe peaches;
finely chopped
1 1/4 c Sugar
1/2 Juice of lemon
2 lg Eggs
2 c Heavy or whipping
cream
1 c Milk
Note: Small peaches
because have more flavor and less water than the larger ones. Combine the
peaches, ½ cup of the
sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours,
stirring the mixture
every 30 minutes. Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the
juice into another
bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl
until light and fluffy,
1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then
continue whisking until
completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and
whisk to blend. Add the
peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and
freeze following
manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes
before if
is done) add the
peaches, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous
quart.
FRUIT
TOFU-BASED ICE CREAM
2 1/2 t Unflavored
gelatin
1/8 t Salt

silken -tofu, drained
1/4 c Safflower oil
3 T Fresh lemon juice
1/2 t Vanilla extract
Sprinkle gelatin over
3/4 cup water (in saucepan) and allow to sit 3 minutes. Cook over very low
heat until gelatin is
dissolved. Mix in salt and sugar and cook, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove
from heat. In blender,
or processor, combine juice, tofu, oil, lemon juice, vanilla, 3/4 cup water and
process until very
smooth. Add gelatin mixture. Freeze in ice cream machine, according to
manufacturers,
instructions,
Makes 1 quart.
GINGER
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp. finely chopped
crystallized ginger(I love this so I use more)
Syrup:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. grated, peeled,
fresh ginger root
To make Syrup:
In pan, simmer water,
sugar, and fresh ginger 3-4 min., stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool 5
min.
To make Ice Cream:
In another pan, scald
milk and cream (don't boil). Remove from heat and stir in remaining sugar
and the syrup. Set
aside 15 min. to let flavors blend. Then strain ginger solids from milk
mixture.
Whisk in the egg yolks
and crystallized ginger. Return to heat(use either double boiler or heat
diffuser.) Heat gently,
stirring constantly, until it becomes a thin custard. Don't allow it to simmer
or
boil. Cool mixture and
freeze according to instructions.
GRAPE
SHERBET
Grape flavored sherbet.
This one is the coldest, most refreshing treat I've ever found for a hot
summer day.
Whisk 1 egg* in a bowl
and add 1 can sweetened condensed milk. When thoroughly mixed, add
1/2 cup heavy whipping
cream. Take a 2 litre bottle of grape soda and shake it carefully until all
the "fizz" is
gone and add it to the mix. Chill completely in the refrigerator before
freezing, then
freeze in your ice
cream freezer. *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella from
uncooked eggs,
substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.
GRAPEFRUIT
ICE CREAM
1 Cup Grapefruit juice
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Whipping Cream
1/2 Cup Whole Milk
Mix ingredients just
before putting in machine. Very nice texture. Strong grapefruit flavor.
Surprisingly good. Even
those who grimaced on being told the flavor of the day had seconds.
Note: Fresh squeezed
grapefruit juice is far better than bottled. Also, use pink or red grapefruit.
GREAT
PUMPKIN
Start on Halloween and
make it right through Thanksgiving. No one will eat pumpkin pie again
after trying this
holiday treat.
For this recipe,
prepare a batch of the Ultimate Butter Pecan ice cream mix, but omit the
pecans.
Then take an additional
2 eggs* and lightly beat them in a separate bowl, and add an additional
1/2 cup sugar. Add one
cup of the prepared Butter Pecan ice cream mix, and when blended
thoroughly, add one 15
oz. can of pumpkin, and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Add this to the Butter Pecan
mix and freeze in your
ice cream freezer. *If you are concerned about the possibility of Salmonella
from uncooked eggs,
substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.
GREEN
TEA ICE CREAM

1 cup water
Place all in a
saucepan, boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Puree in a food
processor, strain
and cool in
refrigerator before using.
GUINNESS
STOUT
1 cup water
2 tablespoons
cornstarch
1/2 cup sweetened
condensed milk
1 1/2 cups evaporated
milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Guinness stout
In a heavy saucepan
whisk together the water and the cornstarch and simmer the mixture over
moderate heat,
whisking, for 2 minutes. Add the milks, the salt, and the sugar, heat the
mixture
over moderately low
heat, whisking, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved, and remove
the pan from the heat.
Let the mixture cool completely, stir in the Guinness, and freeze the
mixture in an ice-cream
freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
HAZELNUT
1 cup hazelnuts
4 cups light cream
3/4 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
extract
Preheat the oven to 350
F. Place the hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cover
and let stand for 15
minutes. Wrap the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and rub to loosen the skins.
Cool completely. Finely
grind the hazelnuts in a food processor and set aside. Scald the cream in
a saucepan. Whisk the
egg yolks and sugar in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the hot cream. Return
mixture to the saucepan
and stir over medium heat until custard thickens and leave a path on the
back of the spoon when
you draw your finger across. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from
heat stir in the
vanilla. Strain mixture in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate. Transfer the
mixture to
the ice cream machine,
add the nuts and process according to manufacturer’s instructions.
HOMEMADE
VANILLA version 1
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup Karo light corn
syrup
4 eggs
1 1/2 to 2 quarts
Half-n-Half
Mix the sugar and Karo
syrup with an electric or hand rotary beater. Add one egg at a time, mixing
completely after each
one. Add 1 quart of Half-n-Half and mix thoroughly.
Optional: At this point
you can add fresh fruit or chocolate if you like flavored ice cream. Pour into
the metal can from the
ice cream maker, also put in the paddle thing. Add enough of the 2nd
quart of Half-n-Half to
the fill line mark. Put the can into the outside bucket, pack chunks of ice
and rock salt (do in
layers of about 2" inches of ice then 2-3 handfuls of salt). Turn on the
ice
cream maker and let it
go until done. After it is done, remove the paddle and scrap off the ice
cream, put the lid back
on and pack more ice and salt up over the top and let it sit for 2-3 hours
HOMEMADE
VANILLA version 2
1 T cornstarch
6 C milk
1+1/2 C sugar
4 eggs
1/2 t salt
4 C whipping cream
1 T pure vanilla
extract
Mix cornstarch to a
thin, smooth paste with a little of the milk. Combine with 4 C of the milk and
all
the sugar, and cook in
top of double boiler over boiling water, with occasional stirring, for 20
minutes. Remove from
heat. Beat eggs until light colored; gradually stir into the hot mixture and
return to heat. Cook 2
minutes longer, stirring constantly. Cool, pour through a strainer into your
ice-cream-maker's
canister, and add the remaining ingredients, stirring well. [If you want to
throw
in crushed fruit or
other extras, now's the time.] Once the lid's on the canister, follow your
usual
ice-rock salt-cranking
routine. Makes ~ 4 quarts.
Notes: I usually pour
the final 2 C milk, salt, whipping cream, and vanilla extract into the canister
and have it sitting in
the 'fridge while I cook the rest of the mixture. Once everything's cooked and
in the canister, you
don't have to crank it right away, so the cooking part can be done way ahead
of time. With our
hand-cranked maker [cranking until it's extremely hard to turn the crank], the
stuff emerges at a
easy-to-slide-down-your-throat consistency. We like to finish making it before
the dinner guests arrive,
then keep it in the freezer until time for dessert, at which point the
consistency seems
ideal. By the next morning, it's much harder than
store-bought-withpreservatives
varieties.
HONEY
VANILLA
A big hit at the
Highland Games in Kansas City it's a honey/oatmeal flavor.
Prepare a 2 qt batch of
the Old Time Vanilla mix and then add 1 cup of honey. Mix thoroughly and
set in the refrigerator
to age the mix. While the mix is aging, take 1/2 cup oatmeal and boil for
about fifteen minutes
in 1 ½ cups of water. Strain the water through a fine strainer and save the
water. The cooked
oatmeal can be eaten or discarded. Add the water to the ice cream mix and let
it chill in the
refrigerator for three hours. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the
manufacturer’s
directions.
HONEY
APPLE CINNAMON RAISIN WALNUT
1/3 cup raisins
1 cup water
1 cup whole milk
1 cup half and half
1/2 cup honey
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup apple syrup
1 cup cream
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
Soak the raisins in the
water overnight. Beat egg yolks in a bowl Mix milk, half and half, and honey
in a pan. Heat to a
boil. Pour half of milk/honey mixture into egg yolks, beating while you pour.
Beat well, and beat
into remaining milk/honey mixture in pan. Mix over low heat for 3-5 minutes
Mix in apple syrup Let
cool and add cream. Right before adding to ice cream maker, beat in
cinnamon. Drain raisins
and mix with walnuts When ice cream has stiffened (2 minutes before
done), add raisins and
walnuts
ITALIAN
BANANA DREAM
4 bananas
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 egg yolks
½ can sweetened
condensed milk
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ½ pt whipping cream
½ pt whole milk
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp vanilla
This is a dense very
flavorful Italian ice cream. This one is so good it might create a new banana
growing industry in
Italy. The secret to this recipe is to use very ripe bananas. If they are
slightly
over-ripe, that is even
better. Crush bananas and add lemon juice and set aside. In a large mixing
bowl, whisk together
egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, whipping cream and whole
milk. Then add salt and
vanilla extract. Freeze this mix in an ice cream freezer and when thick
add the prepared
bananas and continue to freeze. This is best when served very cold. It has
extraordinary flavor
and "mouthfeel". *If you are concerned about the possibility of
Salmonella
from uncooked eggs,
substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.
JALAPENO
MINT ICE CREAM:
For you jalapeno
lovers:
Start with slicing open
1-3 ripe jalapeno chile peppers (depending on your macho rating), remove
the placenta and seeds,
and chop them very fine. Then add them to a batch of the Old Time
Vanilla Ice Cream, also
adding 1 tsp of mint extract. Let the mix age in the refrigerator for at least
four hours before
freezing. Mucho Bueno!!!
LEMON
version 1
500 ml table cream
250 ml milk
5 lemons
2/3 cup sugar
8 egg yolks
Bring a thin peel of
the lemons to a boil with the cream, the milk, and the sugar. Mix into egg
yolks, and heat on low
until slightly thickened. Strain and cool. Juice lemons and add to mix. Make
in ice cream machine. Notes:
Don't add lemon juice until just before mixing in ice cream machine.
LEMON
version 2
150 gr sugar
200 cc whipping cream
200 cc milk
a little salt
juice of about 3 lemons
Mix the white of the
egg till it's `compact'. Mix all the other ingredients completely. Pour it in
the
ice-maker or any other
bowl. When using an ice-maker it will be ready in 20 minutes. When you
have not put it in the
freezer and mix it every 5 minutes first, and after a while every 10 minutes.
LEMON
DILL MUSTARD ICE CREAM
Don't scoff until
you've tried this unbelievable ice cream!!
Use the recipe for the
Old Time Vanilla, but substute white granular sugar for the brown sugar,
and add 3 TBSP Lemon
Dill Mustard.
LEMON
VANILLA
A one an' a
two...Lawrence Welk would have loved it. Exquisite lemon flavor blended with a
hefty
vanilla. Clean three
ripe lemons squeeze out the juice saving 1/2 cup of strained juice. Grate the
zest from the squeezed
lemons and add it to the juice. Mix a two quart batch of the Old Time
Vanilla (see recipe)
Ice Cream omitting the brown sugar. Before freezing the ice cream, add the
strained lemon juice
and add 1cup of granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly and then age (chill in the
refrigerator) for four
hours. Now freeze in an ice cream freezer according the the manufacturer’s
directions.
LICORICE
6 large egg yolks
1-1/2 cups milk
1-1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
10 one inch soft black
licorice candies
1 Tbs. Pernod liqueur
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Lightly whisk egg yolks
in a large bowl. Combine remaining ingredients, except vanilla, in a heavy
saucepan over medium
high heat. Stir frequently until mixture just comes to a boil. In a steady
stream, slowly whisk
mixture into beaten egg yolks. Return mixture to pan over medium low heat
and cook, stirring
constantly, until it registers 170° F on a candy thermometer (do not boil).
Remove from heat. Stir
in vanilla and strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Discard
licorice pieces. Cover
and chill in refrigerator. Freeze in an ice cream maker 20-30 minutes until
frozen.
LIME
1 1/3 Cup Lime juice
1 1/3 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Whipping Cream
1 Cup Whole Milk
Mix ingrediants just
before putting in machine. Very strong lime flavor. I felt it was too strong.
Other's liked it this
strong. If I made it again, I would reduce the lime juice and sugar to 3/4 cup
each, reduce the milk
to 1/2 cup, and leave the amount of cream unchanged at 1 cup.
MAPLE-BLUEBERRY
3 cups blueberries
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup whipping cream
(optional)
Puree blueberries. Add
maple syrup and cream. Freeze in ice cream maker.
Notes:
One of the simpler ice creams to make.
MAPLE
WALNUT ICE CREAM
4 egg yolks
3 cups table cream
3/4 cup walnut pieces
1 cup amber maple syrup
Beat egg yolks.
Put table cream in a
sauce pan and bring almost to a boil.
Beat heated cream into
eggs.
Cool.
Mix in maple syrup just
before freezing in ice cream machine.
When almost done, stir
in walnut pieces.
Notes: This also makes
a good Maple Ice Cream Recipe
If you can get Grade B
maple syrup, use it instead and reduce it to half-a-cup (you
may need to experiment
here; possibly 3/4 cup would be better). Note: I used to
recommend getting Grade
C, but apparently the high-end of that has been renamed
Grade B, and the low
end of that is illegal to sell in retail stores (at least in Vermont).
Be careful with the
cream: If you decrease the milkfat content, then the ice cream will
be slushy and have a
poor texture.
MARSHMALLOW
VANILLA
10 large marshmallows
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix marshmallows, 1/2
cup of milk, and sugar in a pan.
Heat over low heat
until marshmallows melt.
Add remaining
ingredients and cool.
Make in ice cream
maker.
Notes:
A little sweet, a little icy, not very rich. Perhaps make with 2
eggs (technically not needed,
as marshmellows should
have emulsifiers)
MILK
CHOCOLATE SHERBET
Remember ordering a
"400" at the soda fountain? Well now you can have it frozen. Icy,
almost a
granita. You'll love
it.
Melt 2 oz. Baker's
chocolate, and add 1 cup whole milk, and 1 3/4cups sugar, 2 tbsp vanilla
extract, and 4 cups
water. Mix thoroughly and freeze in the freezer section of your refrigerator in
a
shallow rectangular
cake pan, stirring every 20 minutes with a fork until frozen.
MINT
CHOCOLATE CHIP
This one is delicious
when frozen in a graham cracker crust pie shell. Garnish it with chocolate
rose petals you can
make yourself.
Make a batch of the Old
Time Vanilla recipe, but use 1/3 cup sugar instead of the brown sugar.
Add 1 1/2 tsp of mint
extract and when the ice cream is almost frozen, add 1 cup semi-sweet mini
chocolate chips. This
recipe is just the right amount to put into two 9" graham cracker crust
pie
shells for a great ice
cream pie. To really dress up your ice cream pie, take a few small leaves
from the rose bush out
back, wash and dry them thoroughly. Take the remaining chocolate chips
and melt them in a
double boiler. Use a butter knife to spread a thin layer of melted chocolate on
the back side of the
leaves and place them in the freezer for about twenty minutes. Then add one
more coating of
chocolate and replace the leaves in the freezer. After the leaves are frozen,
peel
the leaves from the
chocolate and garnish the pie. Between coatings, take a little melted
chocolate and spread it
very thinly on a cool cookie sheet and place it in the refrigerator. When
you have finished the
second coating of the leaves, take the cookie sheet from the refrigerator
and with a sharp metal
spatula, scrape up the chocolate into curls. Along with the chocolate
leaves, these make a
really nice garnish.
MOCHA
MOUSSE
2 C heavy cream,
whipped stiff
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 C chocolate syrup
(like Hershey's Fudge sauce)
1 whole fresh egg
1 individual serving
International Coffee instant powder
To the heavy cream
whipped with the salt, add the slightly beaten whole fresh egg and beat until
well blended. Add,
folding gently, but thoroughly, the chocolate and instant coffee. Freeze in ice
cream maker
Notes: ------ Add the
salt after the cream has been whipped stiff.
This ice cream is
VERRRRY smooth and delicious. It was originally a recipe for chocolate mousse
ice cream and called
for a generous 3/4 C chocolate sauce, but I ran out and added the instant
coffee (mocha flavor)
to intensify the flavor.
MOTHER
LODE BUTTER BRICKLE
You'll feel like an old
time prospector when you dig into this mountain of ice cream. Golden bits of
butter brickle will be
your reward when you hit the mother lode.
This ice cream uses the
Old Time Vanilla (see recipe) for a base mix. The butter brickle is
folded into the ice
cream after it is frozen. The butter brickle is prepared as follows. Lightly
grease
a large cookie sheet
and then melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan. Then add 1/3 cup sugar
and 1 tablespoon water
and bring to a boil. Continue heating with constant stirring until the
preparation reaches
300o. Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. Spread on the
cookie sheet and when
cool break into small pieces. Fold this preparation into the ice cream when
frozen.

An Arkansas specialty,
best with home grown grapes.
Prepare a 2 quart batch
of the Old Time Vanilla Ice Cream and when nearly frozen stir in one
small jar of Muscadine
Grape Jelly. Add about ten drops of blue food coloring and ten drops of red
food coloring.

OLD
ENGLISH TOFFEE
First, we'll prepare
the toffee crunch. Lightly grease a large cookie sheet, and melt 4 tbsp butter
in
a sauce pan. Add 1/3
cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp water. Bring the mixture to a boil and
continue cooking while
constantly stirring until the mix reaches 300 degrees. Remove from heat,
spread quickly on the
cookie sheet as thinly as you can. When cool break up into very small
crunchies. Next, take 1
cup sugar and cook it in a sauce pan until it becomes a nice golden brown
color. Add 1 1/2 cups
half & half and 1 pint whipping cream. The toffee will immediately become
rock hard. Keep cooking
until the cream is nearly boiling and as you continue cooking the toffee
will dissolve. When the
toffee is all dissolved, remove from heat and cool completely. Now, in a
large mixing bowl,
lightly whisk two eggs*, then whisk in 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed
milk, and 1/3 cup brown
sugar. When completely mixed, add 2 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp
salt, and the
toffee/cream mix, (don't add the crunchies yet) and mix thoroughly. Age (chill
in the
refrigerator) for four
hours. After aging, fill the canister no more than 3/4 full and freeze
according
to the ice cream
freezer manufacturer's directions. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add in
the crunchies.
*If you are concerned
about the possibility of Salmonella from uncooked eggs, substitute an
equivalent amount of
Egg Beaters.
OLD
FASHIONED VANILLA
1 large egg
1 c half and half
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 c heavy cream (note:
sometimes I do this as 1 c half and half, 2 c cream)
Put the egg, 1 c half
and half, sugar, and vanilla in a blender and blend on medium speed until the
mixture us smooth and
sugar is dissolved. Slowly add the 3 c cream and continue blending until
mixture is smooth,
about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to ice cream machine and freeze
according to
manufacturer's directions. Makes slightly more than 1 qt.
Notes: ------ Hints on
freezing with ice and salt: if the ice cream is not getting hard in 20-30
minutes, it's always
been my experience that there is a problem with the ice-salt mixture, and
almost always it's that
you are using too little salt. Start the canister chilling with the ice and
salt
before you make the
above mixture, to give it a good head start. Be sure to use LOTS of salt; the
salt is what lowers the
temperature to make the ice cream mixture freeze. If the ice is melting and
the ice cream still
isn't hard, add more ice and more salt. If you are making ice cream with
alcohol
in it (the above serves
as a great base for Kahlua Chip), I've found it useful to put the alcohol in
when the ice cream is
almost done. The alcohol interferes with the freezing process, so adding it
later seems to help.
Same with small solids like chocolate chips; putting them in late gets them
evenly distributed,
rather than all at the bottom. --
OLD
TIME VANILLA
In a large mixing bowl
whisk two eggs*, add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and whisk
together until
thoroughly mixed. Then add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar and again mix
thoroughly. Don’t pack
the brown sugar into the measuring cup, let it stay loose just as it comes
out of the box. Then
add 1 pint of heavy whipping cream, 1 pint of half and half, 1/4 tsp salt and 2
1/2 tablespoons of real
vanilla extract. For the very best results (who wants anything less?), let the
mix chill in the
refrigerator for about four hours which allows the mix to "age"
before freezing
according to the
directions with your ice cream freezer.. *If you are concerned about the
possibility
of Salmonella from
uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters.

This recipe combines
the tartness of pineapple with the delightful sweetness of Maraschino
cherries. Prepare the
mix as for Old Time Vanilla (see recipe), but omit the brown sugar and
add an additional1/2
cup sugar, and 10 oz canned crushed pineapple. (Do not use fresh
pineapple, which
contains an acid which causes the cream to curdle. The canning process
neutralizes this acid.
When the ice cream is almost frozen, add 6 oz chopped Maraschino
Cherries and just a
little of the juice. Mmmmmm....

Let cool to room temperature, add cream, and chill. Add rum raisins just
before the end of the
freezing process.
SAFFRON
1 1/2 cups
half-and-half
1 egg
1/2 gram saffron,
chopped fine

1/3 cup sugar
Soak the saffron in a
very small amount of brandy (enough to cover it) for one hour. Boil the egg
for exactly 45 seconds.
Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Then follow the usual
procedure for your
ice-cream maker. Serves about 3 people. The saffron flavor was very
pronounced -- you would
not want to increase the amount of saffron from the above, and could
probably get by with
less.
SMOKEY

SWEET
BANANA PEPPER ICE CREAM: This is a really sweet taste treat, you
are guaranteed to
be surprised at how
good it is.
Slice open 2-3 ripe
sweet banana peppers, remove the seeds, and chop fine. Then add them to a
batch of the Old Time
Vanilla Ice Cream mix before freezing. Be sure to let this mix age in the
refrigerator for at
least four hours before freezing.
TROPICAL
COCONUT
Put a spoonful in your
mouth and close your eyes. Grass skirts, waves lapping on the shore,
ukelele music. It's not
a dream.
Take 1 1/2 cups of half
and half and add 3 cups of shredded coconut. In a saucepan bring this
mixture to a boil and
then simmer for five minutes. Strain through a fine strainer and discard the
coconut, saving the
cream. Then mix a 2 qt batch of the Old Time Vanilla mix, using this half and
half preparation for
the half and half in the recipe. Then add 1/3 tsp coconut extract and freeze in
an ice cream freezer.
TROPICAL
ORANGE
This would have been a
musical piece if Gershwin had tasted this. It's a delicate orange in a rich
vanilla base served
inside a frozen orange. Elegant...the only word for it.
Clean several large
oranges and slice off the stem end of the orange, saving this slice. Clean out
the orange pulp and
squeeze the pulp into juice saving 1/2 cup of strained juice. Place the shells
in the freezer
compartment of the refrigerator and freeze for four hours. Mix a two quart
batch of
the Old Time Vanilla (see
recipe) Ice Cream omitting the brown sugar. Before freezing the ice
cream, add the strained
orange juice and add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Age the mix for four
hours and freeze in an
ice cream freezer according the the manufacturer’s directions. When
frozen, fill the orange
shells, replace the orange "lids" and replace in the freezer section
of the
refrigerator for
hardening.
ULTIMATE
BUTTER PECAN
So buttery you'll moo.
The favorite of many, it's rich and creamy.
Again, use the Old Time
Vanilla (see recipe) for the base recipe, but use 3/4 cup of brown
sugar. Also, add 4
tablespoons of melted butter to the mix after adding the sweetened condensed
milk and brown sugar.
Be very careful melting the butter so that it doesn’t separate or churning
might result. Now you
must prepare the pecans. To do this, mix 1cup of chopped pecans with 2
tablespoons of melted
butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. After the mix has aged (chilled in the
refrigerator for about
four hours), stir thoroughly and freeze according to the manufacturer’s
directions. When the
mix is frozen, stir in the prepared pecans.
VANILLA
GINGER PECAN
This is a great
flavorful ice cream that combines three characteristic flavors of Ginger,
Candied
Pecans, and Vanilla.
Prepare a batch of Old
Time Vanilla (see recipe) ice cream adding 2 tsp Ginger spice. While
the ice cream is
freezing, take one cup of chopped pecans, and add three tablespoons melted
butter and 1/2 cup
brown sugar and mix completely.. When the ice cream is nearly frozen, stir in
the pecans.
VANILLA
LIMEADE SHERBET
We used to walk
downtown to get a vanilla limeade at the local drugstore soda fountain.
In a large mixing bowl,
lightly whisk one egg*, and then whisk in 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened
condensed milk. Add one
2 litre bottle of 7-up (which has been shaken to remove the "fizz"),
1/2
cup whipping cream, and
1 ½ tbsp vanilla extract. Freeze in your ice cream freezer. *If you are
concerned about the
possibility of Salmonella from uncooked eggs, substitute an equivalent
amount of Egg Beaters.

Variations: Cinnamon Ice
Cream
Reduce vanilla to 1
tablespoon and add 1 tablespoon of cinnamon.
VANILLA
VELVET
6 Egg yolks
3/4 c Sugar
1 1/4 c Milk
1 1/4 c Heavy cream
1 1/2 lg Vanilla beans
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 pn Salt
Cream the egg yolks and
sugar together in a mixing bowl until thick and light. Combine the milk
and cream in a 2- quart
microwave-safe casserole. Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise, and
scrape the seeds into
the bowl. Add the beans, extract, and salt. Cook, uncovered, at full power
(650 to 700 watts) for
3 minutes. Remove the vanilla beans. With a mixer running on low speed,
slowly add the milk
mixture to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until smooth. Return the mixture to
the
casserole. Whisking
once a minute, cook until the custard is thick and coats the back of a spoon,
3 1/2 minutes. Do not
overcook it. Allow the custard to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate
it, loosely covered,
until chilled, a minimum of 3 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to
manufacturer's directions.
Makes 5 cups.
WAFFLE
CONES
2 Large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter, melted
then cooled
1 TBSP vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
Makes about six large
cones
Lightly beat the eggs
then add in the remaining ingredients, adding the flour last. Before preheating
the pizelle, I lightly
spray a vegetable oil based non-stick compound (PAM, e.g.) on the
cooking surfaces. Spoon
about 2 tbsp batter onto pizelle and cook for about 45 seconds. The
temperature of the
pizelle (waffle cone iron) varies a lot in various appliances, so the first
batch
will be an experiment
to determine the cooking time. The edges should be golden brown and
cooked completely, not
too brown on the edges, but not mushy in the middle. Form around a
mandrel (I use an old
wooden cone with a handle. They should become crispy and hold their
shape as they cool. I
set mine in an old fashioned cone holder from an old soda shop, but they
could be set inside
small juice glasses to cool.
WHAT A
PEAR! ICE CREAM
Start with the recipe
for Old Time Vanilla (see recipe), but omit the brown sugar. And instead
of adding the Half and
Half to the mix, put it into a blender with a chopped very ripe pear. Blend on
high speed for two
minutes, then add this to the ice cream mix. Freeze in an ice cream freezer
according to the
manufacturer's directions.
