More Ice Cream

Okay, so still on the subject of ice cream - when the family was here we made ice cream from this recipe that came from Grandpa Palmer. Shalane asked that I post it, so here it is. Dad's favorite is the Lemon Ice Cream. This is a nice recipe because you don't have to cook it, but it has the custard consistency. I have used everything from whole milk to skim milk in the recipe.

Lemon Ice Cream (and a variation) makes about 2 quarts

1 cup sugar

1 cup whipping cream

1 Tbs. plus 1 tsp lemon extract

1/2 Tbs. vanilla extract

egg substitute for 2 eggs

1/2 box instant lemon pudding mix (small box)

2 cups milk

Mix sugar and whipping cream in bowl until well blended. Add remaining ingredients and blend. Pour into cylinder of an ice cream freezer and freeze according to manufacturers directions.

Variation:

Omit the lemon extract and replace the lemon pudding with vanilla pudding. Add any fruit or nuts about 5 minutes before the ice cream is ready. We made mint chocolate chip with peppermint oil (about 4 drops) and mini chocolate chips. When adding fruit, I put in about 1 cup of chopped or pureed fruit.
