Grannys Ice Cream Recipes

GRANNY'S ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add white sugar and vanilla, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Carefully fold in sour cream until well blended. Fold in any additional flavorings or goodies at this time.
• Place the mixture into the freezer and stir every 30 minutes or so until frozen. This can be made without stirring, but the texture will be icy rather than creamy. If you have an ice cream maker, you can put the ice cream mixture in the maker, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

GRANDMA MARGARET'S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM

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!
