 ~ July 2008 ~ This is a great treat to make during the summer months. For larger families, you may have to do 2-3 rounds, all at once or one-at-a-time. Try doing a special Fourth of July version making three batches: vanilla, strawberry and blueberry flavors! What you'll need: 1 1-lb metal coffee can with lid 1 3-lb metal coffee can with lid Rock salt Crushed Ice Ingredients: 1 pint of half and half (can use milk for lower-fat version) 1/2 cup sugar Flavoring: 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or 2 tbsp of chocolate syrup or 1/4 cup of strawberries or 1/4 cup of blueberries Directions: Combine all of the ingredients in the 1 lb coffee can and mix well. Put the lid on the coffee can and secure with duct tape. Place the 1 pound coffee can into the 3 pound coffee can. Surround with crushed ice and rock salt and place the lid onto the 3 pound coffee can. Now have your kids kick the can back and forth. They should be about 3 to 4 feet apart. In the alternative, they kids can roll in back and forth that distance. Roll for 8 to 10 minutes. Check to see if ice cream is hard (or the consistency you like). If not, add more ice and salt, replace lid, and kick around another 5-10 minutes. Remove lid and serve. Makes 4-6 servings. |
