Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 (12-oz) cans evaporated milk
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • whole milk
  • salt
  • ice
  • fruit (optional)

Directions

With an electric mixer, cream eggs and sugar. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into an electric ice cream churn. Add whole milk to fill line. Insert dasher. Pack cooler 1/3 full with ice. Add a layer of rock salt. Repeat layering with ice and salt until full. Note: be careful not to overfill, spilling salt into the churn. When machine starts to labor or shut off, remove the dasher and drain water. Fill with more ice and salt. Cover with a towel and let harden. Makes about 1 gallon.

* For fruit ice cream such as strawberry or peach: 2 cups sliced fresh fruit covered with 1 cup sugar. Add to mixture before whole milk, and mix well.

Note: For those concerned about raw eggs, pasteurized liquid eggs may be substituted.

I love Paula Deen! I know when I follow her recipe everything will turn out perfect! But one thing I have noticed that recipes online tend to leave out some details. So I stick to my hardback Paula Deen cook books for reference . I have never made this pecan pie but plan to do it tonight. Salt and flour are missing from the recipe and heating .

About how much whole milk do you use in this recipe? My ice cream maker is much smaller. It holds a total of six cups, so I'd probably be able to add only three cups of liquid. I'd probably make two batches with this recipe. Thank you! Sue

First time making ice cream and the machine makes 4 gallons however the recipe is for 1 gallon so my question is how much milk for 1 gallon

Please make sure your ice cream maker is 4 gallon and not 4 quart. Most home ice cream machines are 4 quart and I have also had 2 quart machines. If your ice cream maker is 4 gallon, just add enough milk until it is 1/4 of the way full. I hope this helps.
