Ingredients
1pinthalf & half
¼cupsugar
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1cuprock saltalso sold as "ice cream salt"
ice
Instructions
Combine the half & half, sugar, and vanilla inside a zip-top bag. Mix around until the sugar is fully dissolved. It’s a smart idea to double bag to ensure you don’t get any surprise leaks.
Place some ice and rock salt in the bottom of the coffee can. Next, place the double zip-top baggies into the middle. Then, fill the remaining space on top with more ice and rock salts.
Firmly place the lid back on the coffee can and start shaking! Motion is a critical part of making ice cream and there are lots of creative ways to do it: Play “cold” potato by tossing it back and forth, roll it on the picnic table, or gently dribble it like a soccer ball.
As the ice melts, you may need to add more ice and rock salt. After about 10-15 minutes, the ice cream should be ready!
