Ingredients

  • 3 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatine
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Soak the gelatin in cold water until it looks like applesauce.
  2. Heat the evaporated milk in a pan until almost boiling, then remove from heat and add the soaked gelatin.
  3. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  4. Add sugar, salt, and vanilla to the mixture.
  5. Pour into an ice cream freezer, add milk to the fill line, and stir.
  6. Freeze as usual until firm.

Tips & Substitutions

For a smoother texture, ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding the other ingredients. If you prefer a different flavor, consider substituting the vanilla with almond extract or using flavored gelatin. You can also reduce the sugar by half if you want a less sweet ice cream. This recipe works well with any of your favorite toppings, making it versatile for different tastes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider pairing it with warm desserts like Apple Pie(1994 2Nd Place Perry County Fair Apple Pie Contest) for a delightful contrast of temperatures. Drizzle with chocolate syrup or sprinkle with nuts for added texture. This creamy treat can also be enjoyed alongside a slice of Pineapple Cake Dessert for a tropical twist.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain its texture. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. If the ice cream becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping to soften.
