Homemade ice cream with limited ingredients?

I don’t know of any method where you don’t use rock salt. I’ll look around a bit and see what I can find.

——Huh, turns out that you can use regular salt. Interesting. http://www.chevroncars.com/learn/food-recipes/make-ice-cream

Awesome. Think I could throw the half and half in there without any dire consequences?

Here are two recipes that are very basic: one and two. If you are old enough and/or drink liqeur, David Lebovitz has a super easy recipe using Bailey’s (or similar).

Super easy (in 2 ziploc bags) ice cream: link.

Finally, if you don’t have an ice cream maker, see step 13 of these instructions. (mm…sea salt ice cream!)

Good luck & let us know how it goes!

I’ve made ice cream using the recipe @gemiwing linked to. Half and half in a bag with sugar. (That’s all you really need.) Instead of using a second bag it’s cool if you can find a coffee tin. Put the bag with the ingredients in the tin and surround with ice and salt. Then instead of shaking bags for an hour (with regular salt it will take an hour for a half cup of ice cream) you can just roll the thing across the floor.

For the record, I’m currently enjoying delicious zip-lock baggie ice cream made with half and half instead of milk. :)

Thanks everyone!
