1 can evaporated milk
Sugar to taste
Vanilla
2 tbsp. unflavored gelatin (optional)

Dissolve the gelatin in 1 tablespoon cold water. Heat the milk in a double boiler; stir in the dissolved gelatin mixture. Place in a small deep bowl in the freezer compartment and chill until ice begins to form. Remove and beat with electric beater until stiff. Add vanilla and sugar. This can be used in an ice cream recipe.
