Here is our homemade ice cream recipe.
1 can evaporated milk
1 1/2 pints whipping cream (we always reduce. 1.25 pints makes a very rich ice cream)
1 pint half and half
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 T. vanilla
Fill the rest of the ice cream freezer with milk
This recipe is for a 1 1/2 gallon ice cream freezer. To make different flavors, just throw a package of instant pudding in. We made pistachio last time. Yummy!
Also try fresh fruit!
Homemade Ice Cream–oh the joy!

If you have never had homemade ice cream, believe me when I say you have been thwarted in life. There just isn’t anything that can quite compare to the cool blessedness of ice cream that you have just spent an hour churning by hand in your ice cream freezer. It won’t exactly be hard serve unless you freeze it in your refrigerator freezer before eating it–in fact it melts abnormally fast, but it is worth all the trouble.
Our hand crank churn is somewhat elderly and the lock to keep the churn in place is broken. Therefore, one of the smaller children sits on it while an older kid churns.
Observe.

However, as is possible to be noted from my BEM (blue eyed man) facial expression, sitting on the churn is both boring and eventually tedious.
So why don’t you let Sam help you stir, Isaiah?

Let me give it a whirl by myself, dude.
Ah, much better!
Some, however, prefer using electricity to do the dirty work. Only problem is that it doesn’t work very well on occasion. Something was wrong with the electric ice cream churn and it didn’t churn properly, thus rendering the pistachio ice cream to a state more similar to that of a milkshake than anything you would want to put into an ice cream cone. We used bowls. 
The electric mixer--well, the top of it anyways
Too bad you can’t taste the ice cream off the web. It was wonderful! And the added plus was that our ice cream recipe does not require heating the milk etc. on the stove first. Delicious, but without the hot stand-over-a-stove work!
