Hot summer days, my Mom and I would get my children and make this for them. It was great fun and the children had a blast doing the ice cream machine although they got tired too fast.
Ingredients
1/2 gallon milk
8 eggs
4 tbsp cornstarch
2 cans pet milk
1 tbsp vanilla
maraschino cherries or banana's to taste
1 cup sugar
Directions
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs well. Mix the cornstarch and sugar together. Add to the eggs a little at a time. Put aside.
In a heavy medium pan, scald the milk. Add the egg and sugar mixture slowly to the milk. Cook on a low fire until thick (has the texture of a creamy custard). Turn of the heat. Add the pet milk, vanilla and banana (the riper the better) or cherries or any other fruit choices. Follow the instructions per the ice cream machine.
You can add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate pieces in the last stage of cooking for a great chocolate flavored ice cream.
