When I realized today was National Ice Cream day, I immediately thought of my daddy, F. J. Dickey. My daddy loved ice cream. Every night he had a big bowl of one of his many favorites. What he seemed to love best was homemade ice cream! He loved for my mama to mix up the ingredients which eventually became “Our Granddaddy’s Homemade Ice Cream” recipe.
As a child, we did not have electric ice cream freezers. You turned the crank while someone sit on the top to keep the freezer from moving. Through the years, my sister Linda and I had many a boyfriend who served his duty by sitting on the ice cream freezer which I am sure was freezing their rear-end!
I still make my daddy’s ice cream. I hope you will enjoy some homemade ice cream during this hot month of July!
Our Granddaddy’s Homemade Ice Cream
6 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Whole milk (buy a gallon…you will not use it all)
Beat eggs until frothy. Mix eggs, condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla. Add a small amount of milk while mixing.
(If I am not ready to actually make the ice cream, I put the mixture in either the freezer container or a bowl and place in refrigerator until ready to make)
When you place the container in the freezer bucket, slowly add additional whole milk filling to the correct line on the container.
Freeze according to freezer instructions
(Ice and ice cream salt)
