Tips & Warnings
8 oz whipped cream containers are large enough to hold one making of ice cream.
Makes enough ice cream for 5-6 small servings. (1/2 quart)
During final 5 minutes of mixing berries or chopped fruit may be added.
Wash bowl quickly under hot water, dry with lint free towel and place back inside freezer
May experiment with milk-cream ratio to create lower fat recipes.
For a quick chocolate treat try one box (4oz) instant chocolate pudding and 2 cups whole milk. My kids LOVE this.
Not a low calorie food.
May cause an increase in demand for ice cream.
If ice cream does not freeze within 25 minutes try again using cold ingredients. I store a can of sugar as well as a bottle of vanilla in the fridge and set the mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 1/2 hour before I make the ice cream. It keeps everything COLD.
