Signing UpStep 1The Ziploc Method
The Ziploc method is my preferred method. It takes less time, and the ice cream usually ends up having a better texture. However, you'll need rock salt - an ingredient which is not a common household item, yet not hard to find in your local supermarket.
Ingredients
1. Milk - 1 cup or 240 mL - I used Rice Milk; just make sure that if your milk is sweetened, you use less sugar
2. Sugar - 2 tbsp or 30mL - use less if you are using a sweetened milk substitute
3. Vanilla - 1/2 tsp or 2mL
4. Ice - 2 cups or 475 mL
5. Rock Salt - 1/4 cup or 60 mL - this ingredient can also be referred to as ice cream salt
6. A 1-Qt (.94 L) Ziploc bag
7. A 1-Gal (3.78 L) Ziploc bag
Step 1
Pour milk, sugar, and vanilla into quart-sized (.94 L) Ziploc bag; shake.
Step 2
Pour ice and rock salt in gallon-sized (3.78 L) Ziploc back; shake.
Step 3
Put small Ziploc into larger Ziploc. Slosh the bag back and fourth across your countertop until the ice cream becomes nice and thick.
Step 4
This is Ziploc ice cream; grab a spoon and just eat it right out of the bag! ;]

THANKS
I know someone who is lactose intolerant. They get coconut ice milk.
If you are using the Ziploc method, does it freeze better if you put the bag of milk/sugar/vanilla in the fridge or freezer first to cool down before you freeze it? Just a thought.
Hmm, not sure. It does actually become ice cream pretty quick, so I wouldn't think that there would be a need to do so... But definitely worth a try!
And good idea! runs to grab motor and fan/blade object
