Homemade Ice Cream

We always try to make a batch of homemade ice cream on the 4th of July. The recipe we use is a custard-style made with eggs. So very rich and creamy! We always have it with Grangran's Chocolate Sheet Cake. Mmmm...

Homemade Ice Cream

*4 Quart Recipe*
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
5 cups milk (use whole milk for ultimate creaminess)
4 eggs, beaten
4 cups (1 quart) whipping cream
2 Tbsp. vanilla (I usually put more!)

Combine sugar and salt in saucepan. Gradually stir in milk and beaten eggs. Stirring constantly, cook for about 5 minutes or until eggs are cooked to make a custard. Transfer to a dish (I usually use a shallow pan like a 9x13 so that it cools faster.) Cool completely in refrigerator, about 2 hours. Combine whipping cream and vanilla in large bow; add chilled custard, stirring with wire whisk to combine. Freeze according to instructions on ice cream freezer.
