Juretta's Homemade Ice Cream

Homemade Ice Cream

(To be made in an electric ice maker (4 qt) using ice/ice cream salt)

I am sure the recipes could be changed to be compatible for a small in-home electric no ice required countertop ice cream maker - but I havent taken the time to do the conversions myself, because i dont have one of those nifty little gadgets yet.  But maybe one day soon!  ANYWAY-- moving on... to the ice cream recipes!!



VANILLA:
3 eggs
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) cool whip
1 tsp of vanilla
fill to line with milk


CHOCOLATE: 
3 eggs
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) cool whip
1 container of chocolate syrup
fill to line with milk


STRAWBERRY: 
3 eggs
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) cool whip
2 cups of chopped fresh or frozen strawberries (fresh are best)
fill to line with milk
red food coloring until a light pink shade (a couple of drops)


PEACH:
3 eggs
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) cool whip
2 cups of chopped fresh or frozen peaches (fresh are best)
fill to line with milk
yellow and red food coloring until a soft orange shade (a couple of drops each)


DREAM CICLE:
3 eggs
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (8 oz) cool whip
fill to line with Slice orange drink 



This recipe makes soft-serve homemade ice cream.  You can put it in the freezer in an air tight container to harden to your family's preferred consistency.  You can really use the base recipe for any flavor of ice cream you really want.  These are just our family's favorites.  They are all to die for.  The fruit recipes are especially good in the summer when the fruit is in season.  

Thanks to my God Mother Juretta for the recipe!

Unfortunately, I dont think this recipe can be made into a sugar-free recipe.  I've never seen sweetened condensed milk that is sugar free.  But you could use sugar free cool whip and reduced fat sweetened condensed milk to feel more guilt-free if you like :)


You know, my family LOVES marble slab ice cream and how they mix together the cheesecake flavored ice cream with fresh strawberries and fresh graham crackers... I bet I could tweak this recipe to get it cheesecake flavored and then we could add in the strawberries and graham crackers at the end and this would be even MORE FABULOUS.. Gosh im starvin just thinkin about it!
