Do you remember sitting on top of the hand crank ice cream maker? Homemade ice cream is a delicious treat on a hot, summer day. We like to make homemade ice cream for our July 4th celebration – it’s a family tradition.
Below are three ice cream recipes that my family has enjoyed for years. All of these ice cream recipes are no-cook meaning you don’t have to pre-cook the ingredients prior to freezing. For best results, use name brand ingredients.

1 can Eagle brand milk
1 can Carnation evaporated milk

2 Tablespoons Vanilla extract
fill container with whole milk
Freeze mixture in ice cream freezer according to the unit’s instructions.
Chocolate Ice Cream*
Makes 4 quarts
16 ounces cool whip

1/2 gallon Nestle Chocolate Milk – Use the name brand…it makes a difference.

Frozen Passion Ice Cream
