and boils, stirring occasionally. Boil until mixture is a dark brown; remove from heat. 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

and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan large enough to eventually hold the milk 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

Ice Cream Recipes Page 7 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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.

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. Beat sugar into eggs. Stir in hot chocolate/milk mixture into eggs.
Add cream, salt, vanilla, and extra 1/2 cup milk. Cool. Freeze in ice cream maker.

If you like little chewy bits of dark chocolate in your ice cream then this chocolate chip is just the thing for you.
This is prepared just like the Double Chocolate (see recipe), except when the chocolate is dissolved in the double
boiler, pour the thick chocolate sauce directly into the prepared ice cream mix. The chocolate will "shatter" into
thousands of chocolate bits and a few large clumps. Immediately beat on low speed mixer until all the large
clumps are broken up into tiny chocolate flakes. Allow to cool completely, chilling in the refrigerator for about four
hours (this "ages" the mix), and freeze in your ice cream freezer.

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.

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 1/2
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.

Ice Cream Recipes Page 18 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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 ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions.Ooh-la-la!
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, 1/2
cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30
Ice Cream Recipes Page 19 of 53

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

10 ea (oz) soft tofu or 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, or freeze in ice cube trays and
follow manual instruction as noted above. Makes 1 quart.

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.

Ice Cream Recipes Page 20 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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.

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
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup whole milk
1 cup whipping cream
13-16 oz empty/clean coffee can (or similar type)
2-3 lb empty/clean coffee can (or similar type)
Mix all ingredients in the smaller can and seal with lid. Tape the lid
with masking tape, all around the length of the can.
Place the smaller can in the larger can and pack ice and salt around the smaller can
Lay the can on its side and roll it back and forth between two people a short distan
even.
After 7 minutes, open the larger can and take the tape/lid off the
smaller can. Stir the "ice cream" and scrap off the frozen part off the sides, mixi
Add more ice and salt to bring the level up to the top of the can, seal
up the larger can again. Roll for another 7 minutes, and it's done.
Ice Cream Recipes Page 23 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
HOMEMADE VANILLA version 3
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 consistence seems ideal.
By the next morning, it's much harder than store-bought-with-preservatives 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 1/2
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.

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 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

LICORICE
6 large egg yolks
1-1/2 cups milk
Ice Cream Recipes Page 26 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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 bluFeberries. 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.
Ice Cream Recipes Page 27 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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.
Ice Cream Recipes Page 28 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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.
MUSCADINE GRAPE
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
This unbelievable toffee crunch is what we fought the 1776 Revolution for!
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
Ice Cream Recipes Page 32 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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.

PERILS OF PRALINE
The only peril here is to your waistline. This is a creamy pecan praline ice cream worthy of the praline experts in
the deep south.
This pecan praline ice cream is made using the recipe for Ultimate Butter Pecan (see recipe) Ice Cream. The
pecans are prepared just as for the Butter Pecan ice cream. Cook for ten minutes in a saucepan 1/2 cup brown

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....

TROPICAL COCONUT
Ice Cream Recipes Page 40 of 53
e-book://Pages/ice_cream_recipes.htm 2/16/2003
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 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.

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 pre-heating 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.
