GRANDMA MARGARET'S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM



Grandma Margaret's Homemade Ice Cream image

This is the way my grandma always made it...and beware, it's totally fattening but soooo good! Of course, back in the day, she made it in the old crank kind with all the ice and salt...long but fun process that I remember. Me, I have a Cuisinart 2qt electric job from Costco that I love! No ice, no salt, no muss, no fuss. Grandma's recipe as posted actually makes too much for my Cuisinart, so if you're like me, you'll have to scale it down some. Or...just make another batch!

Time 35m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 quart heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons vanilla
2 -3 cups fruit, mashed (of choice)

Steps:

  • Mix eggs, sugar, vanilla and whipping cream.
  • If adding fruit, mash up 2 or 3 cups. I love strawberries or peaches, or you can do any other kind of creative goodies -- peanut butter cups, oreo cookies, whatever. Or, just plain ol vanilla ice cream.
  • Grandma says to fill the remainder of container with milk to about 2" from the top, but with my Cuisinart, I don't even have to do that!
  • If you have the older fashion kind, start the freezer before adding ice and salt. Don't ask me how much, as grandma passed 8 years ago and mine doesn't require any ice or salt.
  • I'm telling you, go to Costco and invest $59 -- best thing I ever did!
  • With mine, after 25 minutes I have thee BEST homemade ice cream!
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups creme fraiche
2 cups fresh pomegranate juice (available in health-food stores)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup creme de cassis (blackberry liqueur)
2 cups fresh tangerine juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Campari, Mandarin Napoleon brandy or Grand Marnier liqueur

Steps:

  • To make the ice cream: Whisk the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel bowl. Gradually whisk in the sugar and creme fraiche until smooth. Strain. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and proceed as directed.
  • To make the granitas: Combine all ingredients for each granita in separate shallow pans, large enough so the mixture is no more than 1/4 inch deep. Freeze and stir each mixture every 15 minutes for 40 minutes, or until it looks like shaved ice.
  • Scoop the creme fraiche ice cream into four chilled bowls. Place equal amounts of both granita on each side. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit: The better the quality of your fruit, the better your ice cream will be. If you can, use fruit that is in season for the best flavor.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your ice cream will depend on the sweetness of your fruit. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Don't over-churn the ice cream: Over-churning can make the ice cream icy and grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy.
  • Freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make delicious homemade ice cream that will cool you down on a hot summer day or satisfy your sweet tooth anytime. So next time you're craving ice cream, don't reach for the store-bought stuff. Instead, make your own with fresh, ripe fruit and a little bit of love.
