We made ice cream in a coffee can yesterday. Actually you need two coffee cans -- one big and one small. Put your ice cream fixins in the small one then put it in the big one with ice and salt. Roll it around for 20 minutes and voila! It was really good. I've made ice cream before, each time trying to be a gourmet of some sort and going with the fancy recipes and I was never satisfied. This recipe read like a Breyer's commercial . . . milk, cream, sugar, vanilla. Mmmmm. Simple is good.
