There's nothing like a heaping bowl of homemade southern ice cream on a hot summer day. Made with traditional ingredients and plenty of love, southern ice cream is the best there is.

ingredients


EGGLESS RECIPE

2 quarts milk
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 junket tablets

WITH EGGS

1 quart whipping cream
1 quart whole milk PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
3 cups whole milk
12 egg yolks
4 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons salt

directions

Eggless Recipe: Dissolve junket tablets in cold water. Mix milk, sugar and salt and heat to lukewarm. Add water and junket mixture, chill, add cream, vanilla and freeze. Add any fruit you wish if you don't want plain vanilla.

With Eggs: Scald milk in a large 6 quart saucepan. In a large bowl, beat together egg yolks and salt. Add about 3 cups of the hot milk to the egg yolks slowly while stirring constantly. Then return this mixture to the milk in the pan. Add sugar and keep stirring while cooking at medium heat. When mixture coats the spoon or just starts to boil, remove from heat. In most cases, the mix will be lumpy. Don't worry. Just remember to strain out the lumps when you pour it into the canister.

You will have lots of left over egg whites. Use them for Baked Alaska, Lemon Milk Sherbet, or make some meringue shells to serve ice-cream in. This is a delicious, catering-quality custard ice cream. Please notice that it uses a ratio of approximately 2 parts milk to 1 part of cream. By substituting additional cream for some of the milk, it can be made even richer.

cook's notes

Here you find two recipes: one for eggless ice cream and the ice cream with eggs. Personally, I like the eggless one the best. It seems healthier and a lot easier to make. You may find Junket in your grocery store and located in the sugar isle. Make and enjoy!

    I have never made ice cream. What is a canister?

    • It's the chilled part of the ice cream maker that holds the ingredients.
