Ice Cream Freezer Recipe(Hand Cranked)
A creamy, homemade ice cream with rich eggs, sweetened condensed milk, and coffee flavoring, perfect for a nostalgic treat to enjoy with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs, sugar, and flavoring in condensed milk until well combined.
- Add 2 quarts of milk to the mixture and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into a freezer container.
- Add sufficient milk to fill the container, leaving space for expansion.
- Place the container in a freezer with salt on ice around it to freeze while cranking the ice cream.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using fresh farm eggs. If you want a lower sugar option, substitute with a sugar alternative like stevia, adjusting the quantity to taste. Instant coffee can be replaced with brewed coffee for a stronger taste; just ensure it’s cooled. Don't skip adding salt to the ice, as it helps the ice cream freeze evenly. This recipe can be scaled up easily to make larger batches.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this creamy coffee ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider drizzling with chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra treat. It pairs beautifully with Gooey Pecan Monkey Bread for a delightful dessert experience. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a fancy touch or enjoy it alongside warm brownies for a comforting dessert combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. When ready to serve, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor instead of coffee?
Absolutely! You can substitute the coffee with any flavor extract you prefer, such as vanilla or almond. Just use the same amount as the coffee. If you want a fruity flavor, consider adding pureed fruits like strawberries or peaches for a refreshing twist.
What type of container should I use for freezing?
A good option is a metal ice cream canister, which conducts cold better than plastic. If using plastic, ensure it is freezer-safe and leave some space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes. A lid will help keep out unwanted odors from the freezer.
How long does it take to freeze the ice cream?
Typically, it takes about 4 to 6 hours for the ice cream to freeze completely when using a hand-cranked freezer. However, it’s best to check after 3 hours and then periodically until it reaches your desired consistency.
