Grandma Margarets Homemade Ice Cream Food

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'S VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Mix flour and sugar.
• Put 1 quart of whole milk in saucepan on stove to warm.
• When hot, add sugar mixture, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken.
• Add beaten eggs to hot milk mixture, tempering the egg mixture first to prevent cooking the beaten eggs.
• Cook, stirring constantly until mixture thickens like a custard.
• Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Once cooled, add vanilla to taste - up to 1 Tablespoon.
• Add to ice cream freezer insert.
• Add pint of cream or whole milk to about an inch from the top.
• Freeze per the instructions for your ice cream freezer.
• Eat right away or freeze to get a firmer texture.

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!

MARGARITA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the lime juice, tequila and orange liqueur into a bowl and stir in the sugar to dissolve.
• Add the cream and then softly whip until thick and smooth but not stiff.
• Spoon into an airtight container to freeze overnight. This ice cream does not need ripening (softening before serving), as it will not freeze too hard and melts speedily and voluptuously.

ICE CREAM MAKER MARGARITAS

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Whisk together the tequila, lime juice, cooled sugar syrup, orange liqueur and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Freeze until slushy in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 45 minutes (see Cook's Note). Transfer the frozen margaritas to a chilled pitcher. Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
• Fill a small plate with an even layer of salt. Moisten the rims of 4 chilled rocks or wine glasses and press into the salt to rim the edges. Divide the margaritas among the glasses. Serve with lime wedges.
