Makes about 3 cups.

1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Rock salt & crushed ice

Also may be added:

1/3 c. diced fruit (peaches, strawberries, etc.)
1/3 c. raisins
1/3 c. coconut
1/4 c. chocolate milk mix
1/4 c. strawberry milk mix

Mix all ingredients in small 1 pound coffee can. Secure lid and place inside of larger 3 pound coffee can. Starting with ice, layer ice and rock salt ending with a layer of ice which should cover entire small can. Secure large lid and fun begins.

Find a hard surface and have 2 or more children roll the can briskly back and forth until frost appears on outside of large can and ice is melted in large can. Carefully remove large lid. Remove small can and wipe small lid and outside of small can with clean, dry towel. Drain water into colander (save the salt). Open small can and carefully scrape any ice cream from sides and bottom of can into milk mixture in can. Replace lid and place back into large can.

Repack with ice and saved salt (add as needed) making sure to end with ice. Continue to roll (the longer you roll the more firmer your ice cream will become). When finished rolling, repeat wiping and draining steps and enjoy. (May be placed in freezer if not firm enough also.)
