Ouma's Ice Cream

This one is a firm family favourite.  If you happen to own an ice cream maker - this recipe is ideal for a last minute dessert when you have unexpected guests.  Only four ingredients which you might have at hand or can easily come by at the corner cafe. If you follow the instructions below, you cannot go wrong and everybody will love it.

All you need is:
1 tin condensed milk
250 ml cream
250 ml milk
5 ml vanilla extract

Blend all the ingredients together.  Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions or else go about as follows:
Pour mixture into a shallow glass dish.  Place in freezer and leave until ice crystal starts forming on the sides.  Stir with a whisk or fork to break up the crystals and return to freezer.  Repeat 3 of 4 times and then leave until completely frozen.  To speed up the process you can place the condensed milk in the fridge overnight so that all the ingredients are really cold from the start. 
This quantity will only serve 2 - 3 people if you like ice cream as much as we do!  Rather double up.

My gran did not have the luxury of an ice cream maker and also did not do the whisking part, so the ice cream was always frozen rock hard - but we loved it!  Just a bit of a struggle to dish up. If you are going to eat it at midnight on your own under the duvet - by all means!
