Coffee Can Ice Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. milk
1 c. whipping cream
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
nuts or small pieces of fruit (if desired)
rock salt
crushed ice

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients in a clean 1 pound coffee can with a tight fitting plastic lid.
For extra security, tape the lid to the can.
Place the 1 pound can inside a 3 pound coffee can with a tight fitting lid.
Pack the crushed ice around the smaller can. Pour almost 1 cup rock salt over the ice.
Put the lid on the 3 pound can.
Roll the can back and forth on the floor or the sidewalk for 10 minutes.
Remove the inside can carefully, making sure no salt solution drops into the ice cream.
Stir the ice cream mixture with a rubber spatula.
Replace the lid.
Drain the ice water and place cans inside each other.
Pack with more ice and salt.
Roll back and forth 5 more minutes.
Makes about 3 cups.
