2 cups sugar
4 Tbsp (heaping) cornstarch
1 gal 2% milk
1 can sweetened (non-fat) condensed milk
5 large eggs
3 tsp vanilla extract
1 box ice cream salt

fruit options: 7 bananas / 2 large cans of crushed pineapple / 6 peaches

Getting ready:

Combine the 2 cups sugar and 4 Tbsp cornstarch in large pot. Mix thoroughly. Add 2 quarts milk. Stir.

Cooking the custard:

Heat on HIGH till hot. Cook for 15 minutes (after hot). Stir frequently to prevent sticking. Add one can sweetened condensed milk. Cook for 5-10 minutes. Turn heat to LO or OFF. Beat (very well!) 5 large eggs. Add 3 tsp vanilla extract. Add the eggs-extract to the custard slowly and stir constantly! Increase heat to MEDIUM. Cook & stir until thick.

Let the custard cool, then store in fridge overnight.

The Big Day:

Layer milk, custard, and fruit (optional) in the ice cream container. Place in tub, and hookup the motor. Start motor, layer ice & salt up to the top of container. Add 2 cups of tap water. Run motor until ice cream has thickened (28-40 minutes). Remove the paddle quickly before it freezes in place.

Eat ice cream on paddle to replace calories burned while removing it.

Scrape hardened ice cream from sides of container.

Let ice cream harden for another 30-45 minutes.
