Shake And Make Ice Cream
Create a creamy, delicious ice cream at home with simple ingredients, perfect for warm days or fun family treats, combining sweet flavors and cold texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the ice cream mix and sugar with 1/2 cup warm milk until dissolved.
- Add the mixture to Eagle Brand condensed milk and 1/2 gallon milk in a half-gallon container; mix well.
- In a gallon Ziploc bag, put 2 cups crushed ice and 3 tablespoons rock salt.
- In a sandwich Ziploc bag, put 1/2 cup of the ice cream mixture.
- Place the sandwich bag into the gallon bag with ice, wrap in a towel, and shake for 5 to 10 minutes or until the ice cream is firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of regular milk in the ice cream mixture. If you don’t have rock salt, regular salt can work in a pinch, but the texture may vary slightly. To speed up the shaking process, have two people shake the bags while chatting about family favorites like Date-Nut Krispies for a fun twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ice cream in bowls or cones, and consider topping it with sprinkles, chocolate sauce, or fresh fruit for added flavor. Pair it with cookies or brownies for a delightful dessert experience. This ice cream is perfect for summer gatherings or as a sweet treat after enjoying dishes like Shake And Bake Biscuits.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. To maintain the best texture, press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the ice cream before sealing the container. If it becomes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of ice cream mix?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with any flavor of ice cream mix you like. Chocolate, strawberry, or even coffee would all be delicious. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level may vary, so adjust sugar accordingly.
How long does it take to shake the ice cream?
Typically, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes of vigorous shaking for the ice cream to firm up. Make sure to check the consistency after 5 minutes; if it’s still too soft, continue shaking until it reaches your desired texture.
What can I do if I don't have a Ziploc bag?
If you don’t have Ziploc bags, you can use any resealable plastic bag or even a small container that fits inside the larger bag with ice. Just make sure it’s sealed tightly to prevent any leaks while shaking.
