What You’ll Need:

To start, you’ll need a couple of my very favorite ice cream making tools. I love the Nostalgia Ice Cream Maker (you can also use a cuisinart chocolate ice cream maker for this recipe) because it is very high quality and holds 6 quarts of ice cream, making it easy to make plenty for family and friends. That’s way more than any other ice cream maker on the market. Of course, you’ll need ice cream salt because this ice cream maker requires ice (the only REAL way to make ice cream). Also, make sure you have a 10 lb bag of ice. An extra long serving spoon to make it easy to get that delicious ice cream out! And last, but not least, these are my favorite ice cream containers, just in case you have any extra. Not likely, but just in case.

I like to just throw all of the ingredients all straight into the canister and stir with a large spoon. Less dirty dishes and so slick and easy! Put the canister into the ice cream maker before you add the ice (make sure the lid is on – you don’t want rock salt in your ice cream). When you add the ice, add it a fourth of the way up, then sprinkle a fourth a cup of ice cream salt. Then another fourth of ice and fourth a cup of ice cream salt – until you reach the top and ice is covering the lid. Set the motor in place, plug her in and let her go!
