RECIPE: TIN CAN ICE CREAM
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
We like the idea of making ice cream in a can because it’s fun and home made ice cream has such a unique taste (which many of you mentioned in your comments in our “Old School Ice Cream” post in June). It’s something everyone should try now and then. There are lots of “ice cream in a can” recipes out there, so feel free to poke around. Some use the egg and pudding mix like this recipe does, but some don’t.
When consuming uncooked eggs, it’s important to use a pasteurized egg and not a regular egg. You might be able to get away with not using an egg at all. If anyone tries this recipe, or has tried something similar in the past, let us know with a comment how it went. By the way, the photo below depicts another fun tin can activity: the tin can telephone.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 pasteurized egg
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup rock salt
• 1 pound crushed ice
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, instant pudding, milk, half and half and vanilla. Pour the mixture into a 12 ounce size coffee can. Cover the top with plastic wrap, and then the plastic lid. Place the filled coffee can into an empty 34.5 ounce coffee can (the big ones). Fill the empty space with crushed ice, sprinkle generously with rock salt, and cover with the plastic lid.
2. Roll the cans around on the floor for about 20 minutes. If the center of the ice cream is still soft, place the containers in the freezer to harden.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

Tin Can Ice Cream was a favorite of all my Girl Scout troops, we never went on a camp trip with out it. We only used heavy cream,sugar or sugar sub, flavoring,fruits ect. Then we spent 15-30 min rolling the can up and down the picnic tables. Each two scouts got to choose their own flavor. As leader I got to taste each can. What a treat out in the woods. One year we had an exchange student form europe who had relitives in Russia. Ice cream was a luxuary that was not affordable to any one but the very rich. Our exchange student sent the recipe to them and the whole village enjoyed ice cream for the first time. The troop got a thank you.

Sounds likw fun, but I’ll stick to Turkey Hill!
August 27th, 2007 at 4:02 pmGood point about the egg, Lee. That’s why it’s important to use pasteurized eggs (which are free from salmonella risks typically associated with consuming raw eggs).
We’d be willing to guess the egg in this recipe is optional, although the egg does add some texture and properties needed to simulate factory-made ice cream.
Most store-bought ice cream doesn’t use eggs, except for some French Vanilla flavors, which traditionally use egg yolks or an egg custard base.
Here’s a link to some recipes for making home made ice cream without eggs (coincidentally, its from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln extension here in Lancaster County): http://lancaster.unl.edu/food/ciq-homemade-ice-cream.shtml
August 27th, 2007 at 9:14 amSounds fun for people with kids. I will forward this to all my friends with children. Might be a good activity at a party for a small group of kids. Personally, I simply prefer to go buy some Turkey Hill! Thanks!
August 25th, 2007 at 10:26 pmI love this recipe for tin can ice cream,
August 25th, 2007 at 7:48 pmI just have a problem with the raw egg.
why is egg necessary?
do all ice creams have raw eggs?
did this once when I was a child, only got a few bites, had 7 siblings to share it with
August 25th, 2007 at 11:05 amWhat a fun way to make ice cream. Not only will the ice cream taste good, but it is fun to make too!
August 24th, 2007 at 10:16 pmWhat a neat recipe. I am going to try it.
Thanks for all the great information.
August 24th, 2007 at 9:05 pmI”ve never had homemade ice cream, let alone ice cream made in a tin can,,, BUT I do have a friend who bakes wonderful cinnamon bread, in coffee cans! I guess those cans have lots of uses. I’ll leave the ice cream making up to Ernie! Hey, the guy who runs our local Dairy Queens,, his name is Ernie!
August 24th, 2007 at 9:01 pmI’d give this a shot, but I’d probably get impatient and start eating/drinking the ice cream before it’s finished.
