Homemade Ice Cream

My mom recently gave me a stack of "Better Homes and Gardens" cookbooks from the 1960s. I have had many laughs as I read about things that are very characteristic of the time, but have also come across some really good recipes. There is one section in the dessert book that features recipes for ice cream. There are different flavors and variations of how to make them. I had some extra heavy cream and decided to try one out. It was hard to take a picture, but trust me, it's delicious!


Chocolate-fleck Ice Cream
2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup heavy cream, whipped

2 egg whites
1 tablespoon sugar
3 1-ounce squares semisweet chocolate, coarsely grated (I used chocolate chips)

Beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating till light and fluffy. Blend in vanilla. Fold into whipped cream.

Beat egg whites until fluffy; add 1 tablespoon sugar and beat until soft peaks form. Fold into cream mixture; fold in chocolate. Pour into a bowl; freeze until firm.
Makes 6 servings.
