This recipe is a fun summer activity you can do with the kids. It's delicious and super easy! It's a great way to save money on store bought ice cream as well. And I just love the taste of homeade ice cream! Enjoy!

What you will need:

1 (3 lb.) clean coffee can
1 (1 lb.) clean coffee can
Duct tape
2 or more kids

Ingredients:

• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. whipping cream
• 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 egg (optional)
• Fruit (smashed), chocolate, etc.
• Rock salt
• Ice (crushed or small cubes)

Directions:

1. Pour all food ingredients into 1-pound coffee can. Duct tape lid on securely. 
2. Place inside 3-pound coffee can. Layer ice and salt around sides of small can. Duct tape 3-pound lid on. 
3. Roll briskly on hard ground for 10 minutes - cement works best.
4. Open lid and drain ice water. Open 1-pound lid and stir, scraping sides well. 
5. Re-tape. Re-pack big can with ice and salt. Re-tape and roll again. Makes about 3 cups of ice cream.
