~tin-can ice cream~

One of the kids' favorite things to do in the summer is make their own ice cream. It's so good and so rich, and the perfect treat for a hot summer afternoon. It's super simple to make and only uses a few ingredients. It's also a fun activity to do with friends or on a camping trip. 1 (3 lb.) clean coffee can with lid

1 (1 lb.) clean coffee with lid

2 or more kids

ice

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whipping cream

1/2 c. sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Fruit (smashed), chocolate, etc. (optional)

Rock saltIce, or ice cream salt (crushed or small cubes)

Pour all food ingredients into 1-pound coffee can. Put lid on securely. Place inside 3-pound coffee can. Layer ice and salt around sides of small can. Put lid on 3-pound lid on. Roll briskly on hard ground for 10 minutes - cement works best.
Open lid and drain ice water. Open 1-pound lid and stir, scraping sides well. Put the lid back on. Re-pack big can with ice and salt. Re-lid and roll again.

Makes about 3 cups of ice cream.

Enjoy!
