Since my family likes ice cream, and I happen to have a 4 quart ice cream maker, I think im going to make this recipe tomorrow.

[sablelevia]

Do you crush the ice cubes before you put them in with the vanilla salt and milk?

[judsonM]

I don't think so, the vanilla, milk and sugar is in the small bag, which is in the big bag where the ice and salt is.

[Meenotue]

Your sugar looks like cocaine!!!

[Evil_Computer_Wizard]

He's Right! It does look like cocaine! lol

[andrewdpham3]

how would you guys know?

[MrPumPkinluvr]

lol

[cry_wolf]

Its vannila coke ice cream :D

[burning_feather]

who says it isn't?

[Ballabirdie]

I tried the recipe. I shook the big bag abd the small one, but after a good 7 minutes of shaking it was like icecream that melts- creamy but not solid. What did I do wrong? I double-bagged the small one to avoid salt leaking in, and only had about 1 and a half traysworth of ice. What could have affected it turning out so... bleh? (By the way, Im freezing it now, will that ruin it?)

[ladieslilman98]

try what i did blend it instead of using a bag it comes out with a texture slightly thinner than a Wendy's frosty

[uglabob]

oh no its kumon i have to do it and i am at lvl g and it is boring easy and hopfully i will be able to drop out soon and i agree with freakinslop it is pure evil

[xoxolz]

i don't get what the ingredients for the chocolate ice cream are can you explain please?

[MrPumPkinluvr]

1 Tablespoon of Cocoa

1 Tablespoon of Sugar

1 Cup of Milk

of course u still need the ziplock bags, ice, salt----basically u follow the same steps to make the vanilla icecream but u use diffrent ingredients ( the 1s i listed b4) =) have a good day

[naruto the ninja13]

this is the best non machine ice cream recipe ever the chocolate is delicious

[metallica8080]

 can you show how to make coffee ice cream?
I freaking love coffee ice cream

[macattak232]

it was really good but after i took the first bite i added sugar cause it wasnt sweet enough.....GREAT NICE JOB!!

[icouldntthinkofone]

why do you need two different size bags?

[pieman12]

also, i'd puy food coloring in the chocolate icecream. if not the coco is in there like little specks

[pieman12]

to avoid the salt perdicament, put the bag with the cream mix into another bag. shaking might take longer though

[bugaboo22]

It's... decent but the problem is the salt seeps in and ruins everything so i'd try without the salt

[bugaboo22]

I am going to try it right now! I'll tell you afterwards how it turns out... HOPEFULLY GOOD!!! so excited.

[KMLisa]

Just curious, would it make a difference if I only used one tray of ice? I don't really have enough trays ):

[webtarkeena]

This was good. Couple of notes: 1) Vanilla flavor was a little stronger than it needed to be in my batch. 1/8 tsp may be sufficient 2) I only had to shake for about 5 minutes, not 10 3) I used a quart sized ziplock as my large bag, and a sandwich sized one as the small bag, and it worked fine. Less ice is needed with these sizes, of course. 4) Be very careful when extracting the ice cream from the inner bag not to let the saltwater drip into the bowl. Salt does not improve the taste of this treat!

[Fashim]

Can i use the chocolate recipe but instead of cocoa vanilla?

[Fashim]

The sakt is kinda weird

[PKTraceur]

Can you puree a fruit, (per say, strawberries?) then add to the smaller bag mixture?

[PKTraceur]

?

[jinonaspa]

great idea, i just tried it! it's soooooo good, if you want a flavor then just add it (if it is smushable) such as strawberries and blueberries. It was a good, one-serving ice cream

[anthonyfunk]

can you use regular salt or do you have to use rock salt does it still turn out the same?

[andrewdpham3]

I think you can use normal salt because it's there to make it have a low freezing point

[jany]

Why do you have to use rock salt? Can you use regular salt for the same results?

[hobo joe]

yes

[FunkNattidelic]

mmmmm this stuff is awesome, im eating rihgt now, Great instructable =]

[awang8]

I've read this somewhere before... Can't remember where... Anyway this looks yum!!! (Or how do I know you didn't take the smaller bag out, fill it with store-bought ice-cream and put it back in to take more photos???)

[dsman195276]

the last time i did this i took the smaller bag with the ingredients and put it in a coffee can filled with ice, salt, and water. then just roll it around until the ice cream is ready.

[CrafterCassie]

Oh wow I've got to try this!!! It looks yummy! By the way, can somebody tell me what is wrong with double posting? I'm new and i don't get it.

[cowscankill]

Double posting is when you post two comments on one 'ible. It is looked down upon in my book, but not really unless yo pass 3 posts.

[cowscankill]

If you do need to double post, reply to your own comment, like what I am doing here.

[freakinslop]

this stuff goes awesome with homemade coconut macaroons
