Serves/Makes:About 1/2 gallon

Ingredients

• 2 cans Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed (not evaporated) milk
• 6 eggs
• 1 quart (950 ml) plus 1 cup (225 ml) half and half (or whole milk)
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) vanilla

Preparation

• Mix all ingredients well and pour into ice cream freezer.
• Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
• If you want to add fruit, omit the 1 cup (225 ml) of half-and-half and add about a cup of fruit.
• Be sure to mash the fruit well before adding as whole pieces of fruit freeze very hard and are unedible.

Comments

This recipe has been in our family for over 50 years. I don't know where it originated, but it makes a very rich ice cream. You may substitute whole milk or even 2 percent milk, but the half and half produces a smoothe creamy product.

This rivals the best "premium" ice creams in the grocery stores!
