Easy Ice Cream Recipe
If you’re craving a taste of nostalgia, the Easy Ice Cream Recipe page here is a delightful gem worth exploring.
This page serves up two classic vanilla ice cream recipes straight from a rural community cookbook, compiled about fifty years ago,
with a sprinkle of historical charm from the 1970s White House.
The first recipe, Country Vanilla Ice Cream, is a rich, egg-heavy treat that combines 4 well-beaten eggs with 2 1/2 cups of sugar, 6
cups of milk, 4 cups of heavy cream, and a touch of vanilla and salt. The process is straightforward: gradually mix sugar into the eggs
until stiff, blend in the remaining ingredients, and freeze in a two-gallon container. This recipe yields enough for 16 servings,
making it perfect for large gatherings or a summer churn-fest.
The second offering, Vanilla Ice Cream, scales up to a full gallon, ideal for those with a hand-crank or electric freezer. It uses 2
quarts of milk, a variable amount of sugar (1 to 3 cups, depending on your sweet tooth), 6 eggs, flour for thickening, heavy cream,
vanilla, and a pinch of salt. The method involves cooking the milk and sugar in a double boiler, incorporating an egg-flour mixture,
and straining before freezing. The result is a creamy, classic vanilla ice cream that evokes simpler times.
What makes this page special is its nod to history. The recipes are pulled from a community cookbook, capturing the essence of home
cooking from decades past.
Whether you’re a home cook eager to dust off your ice cream maker or a history buff curious about vintage recipes, this page offers a
sweet blend of practicality and nostalgia. Fire up your freezer, grab some cream, and churn your way back to a bygone era with these
timeless treats.
