{"slug":"moms-ice-cream","collection":"recipes","is_recipe":true,"visibility":"public","title":"Mom's Ice Cream","description":"A rich, egg-heavy old-fashioned vanilla ice cream made with evaporated milk and whole eggs, churned in an ice cream freezer with room for your favorite mix-ins.","body_md":"\nMom's mythical ice cream; not for those on a diet or fearful of\negg-borne bacteria.\n\n## Special Equipment\n\n-   Ice Cream Freezer\n\n## Ingredients\n\n-   8 to 12 eggs (higher egg content yields a more rich tasting final\n    product)\n-   24 fl. oz. (2 large cans) of evaporated milk\n-   720ml (3 cups) sugar\n-   Pinch of table salt\n-   2 teaspoons vanilla\n-   Whole Milk, to fill freezer\n\n## Preparation\n\n1.  In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar and the pinch of salt.\n2.  Add vanilla and evaporated milk, stir well.\n3.  Pour into ice cream freezer.\n4.  Fill freezer with whole milk to the \"full line\", stirring mixture\n    while adding milk.\n5.  Add in additions as desired: can of chocolate syrup, strawberries,\n    pineapple, etc.\n\n## Freeze\n\n1.  Freeze ice cream per manufacturer's directions.\n\n## Notes\n\n-   2026-07-30: The pinch of salt was listed but never used in any step. Placed\n    it in step 1, dissolved into the eggs and sugar with the rest of the base —\n    the only sensible point of use. No quantity was changed.\n-   2026-07-30: The structured ingredient list held the first line truncated\n    mid-phrase (\"...a more rich tasting final\") where the body's list carries the\n    full text. Completed it from the body; the two now match.\n","draft":false,"servings":"12","prep_time":"15 minutes","cook_time":"45 minutes","total_time":"1 hour","created_at":"2014-11-26T07:57:28Z","updated_at":"2026-07-30T22:36:06.162451Z","categories":["dessert"],"tags":["Vanilla"],"methods":["No-Cook"],"themes":["Vegetarian"],"ingredients":[{"section":"","items":["-   8 to 12 eggs (higher egg content yields a more rich tasting final product)","-   24 fl. oz.
