Ice cream recipe without ice cream maker?

Can you make ice cream without the ice cream maker? If yes, can someone please give me a recipe. I would like it even more if it is without the 2 bags method. Thanks in advance.Ice cream recipe without ice cream maker?
1/2 cup milk


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


1 tablespoon sugar


4 cups crushed ice


4 tablespoons salt


2 quart size Zip-loc bags


1 gallon size Zip-loc freezer bag


a hand towel or gloves to keep fingers from freezing as well!





Mix the milk, vanilla and sugar together in one of the quart size bags. Seal tightly, allowing as little air to remain in the bag as possible. Too much air left inside may force the bag open during shaking. Place this bag inside the other quart size bag, again leaving as little air inside as possible and sealing well. By double-bagging, the risk of salt and ice leaking into the ice cream is minimized. Put the two bags inside the gallon size bag and fill the bag with ice, then sprinkle salt on top. Again let all the air escape and seal the bag. Wrap the bag in the towel or put your gloves on, and shake and massage the bag, making sure the ice surrounds the cream mixture. Five to eight minutes is adequate time for the mixture to freeze into ice cream.Ice cream recipe without ice cream maker?
5 egg yolks





2/3 cups sugar





1 cup half and half





2 tablespoons butter





1 cup whipping cream





2 teaspoons vanilla extract





Beat yolks and sugar until blended. Pour in top of double boiler. Stir in half and half. Cook and stir over boiling water until thickens. Set aside - stir in butter. While cooling on a rack, stir occasionally until room temperature. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Freeze according to manufacturers directions.
Look at the Family Fun mag's website. I remember there was a recipe that involved a coffee can...kick a can ice cream or something like that. Last summer I think.
Pretty much any recipe you have/find can be made into ';ice cream'; without an ice cream maker. But, without said ice cream maker, the finished product won't be as good as the real thing beacuse of ';overrun.';





Overrun is the amount of air mixed into ice cream while it's churning. Cheaper ice creams have more overrun in them, so in purchasing them, you could be buying ice cream that is half air! (100% is the maximum overrun allowed by law.) Higher quality ice creams have less overrun in them.





Air in ice cream is a good thing, though. You need it to keep the ice cream from freezing into one big solid block, like it will if you just put ice cream mix in the freezer instead of an ice cream maker.
the only thing I have seen are the ones you mix and put in your freezer. I think you need their special container thought. I have seen them at walmart. Have you tried an internet search ? Wish i could be of more help!
