Coffee Can Ice Cream
Who knew crafting a batch of homemade ice cream could be so much fun? Grab the kids, two coffee cans, ingredients for the ice cream and roll away!
What you'll need:
• 2 clean metal cans, both with lids (make sure one can is larger than the second)
• Use the ice cream recipe already given in Ice Cream in a Bag or:
o 1 cup of very cold milk
o 1 cup sugar
o 1 tsp vanilla
o 1 tbs chocolate syrup
• Ice
• Salt
How to make it:
1. Place the ice cream mixture in the smaller coffee can (make sure it's clean) and seal with the lid on tightly.
2. Place the smaller can in the larger can. Pour the ice and salt around the smaller can making sure it is more or less in the center.
3. Seal the larger can with its lid tightly and roll it around for about a half hour. This process works great if you have kids. Let them sit on the floor and roll the can between them. When it's done you'll have a nice container to keep the ice cream in!

Kick the Can Ice Cream
This recipe makes 1 pint of ice cream -- or 8 scoops. If you're organizing a large party, you'll need to double or triple this recipe, depending on how many kids will be attending. This way, they'll all get to participate in kicking the cans and will each get to enjoy a scoop of ice cream.
What you'll need:
• 1 pint of half and half
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons of your favorite instant pudding mix (chocolate was used here)
• 10 cups ice
• 1 1/2 cup rock salt (kosher salt or sea salt can be used too)
• 3-pound coffee can, emptied and rinsed
• 1-pound coffee can, emptied and rinsed
• Duct tape
How to make it:
1. In a medium bowl, combine half and half, sugar, and pudding mix with a whisk until thoroughly mixed.
2. Place 1-pound coffee can inside the 3-pound coffee can and pour ice cream mixture into smaller can. Cover the smaller can with it’s corresponding lid and seal with duct tape.
3. Surround the smaller can with ice and salt by layering 5 cups of ice with 3/4 cup of salt.
4. Use duct tape to seal the 3-pound can with its corresponding lid and start rolling. Have the kids face each other and roll the can back and forth on its side for 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes, open the cans and check the ice cream. Remove the smaller can and check the ice cream. The mixture on the sides of the smaller can will set up faster than the center. Use a rubber spatula to quickly scrape down the sides and give the ice cream one stir.
6. Next, reseal the lid on the smaller can with duct tape, and set it aside. Quickly dump the melted ice water from the large can, and place the smaller can into the larger can again.
7. Now you need to surround the smaller can with remaining ice and salt by repeating step 3. Once that is done, put the lid on the larger can and seal with duct tape again.
8. Ask the kids to roll the large can for 10 minutes more.
9. Once they're done, open the cans again and serve the ice cream to your little helpers!
Tips:
>>Use your favorite flavor of pudding to change the ice cream flavor.
>>After the first 10 minutes of kicking around the can, mix in some nuts or chocolate chips to enhance the flavor of your ice cream.
>>If the children get tired of kicking that can around after only 10 minutes, take this shortcut: Stir the mixture and set it in the freezer for about an hour to allow the rest of it to harden.

Rock'n'Roll Ice Cream
First put that rock salt in the can with cream, sugar and the other ingredients before getting the kids to roll it into a delicious ice cream treat. Presto: Rock 'n Roll Ice Cream!
What you'll need:
• 3 pound empty coffee can
• 1 pound empty coffee can
• 1 Pint of half & half cream
• 1/2 Cup of sugar
• Rock Salt
• Ice (try freezing water in empty milk cartons or whatever container fits into refrigerator freezer.)
How to make it:
1. Be sure empty cans are clean and free of any smell or residue of soap.
2. In small can mix half & half with 1/2 cup of sugar. I usually
add a small amount of vanilla. You can also add any frozen
fruit you like.
3. Place small can inside big can. Add enough ice to cover
small can. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of rock salt to
ice. Be sure can lids are secure.
4. Now comes the fun! Put a sheet or other large covering
on floor. Everyone have a seat on the floor and start
rolling the big can to each other. This takes about 10 minutes
of time. Look at the ice cream to see it is hard enough.
If it is not, continue to roll a little longer.
5. Eat the ice cream and enjoy!
