Here's my recipe - handed down from my aunt to my mom to me, it's SO GOOD, worth all the effort to make it! It makes 1 gallon.
Chocolate Ice Cream:
2 2/3 cups sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1/3 cup cocoa powder (like Hershey's or Nestle)
1 can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla
Whole milk
To begin - In a saucepan combine half the sugar (1 1/3 cups) & cocoa and blend together, then add 1 cup whole milk & eggs, blend. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until heated through and mixture is smooth. (I use a coated wisk to stir/beat while this mixture heats so the eggs don't cook/lump, we used to just put the eggs in raw years ago but of course that's a no-no now.) Now stir in 1 more cup of whole milk to cool the mixture. For best results - cool this mixture in the refrigerator for awhile or even overnight - the colder it is the faster it will freeze.
Next step - In a mixing bowl combine the rest of the sugar (1 1/3 cups), evaporated milk, & vanilla and mix well, then add the cooled chocolate mixture and mix well. Pour this into your freezer can and fill the rest of the way to the fill line with whole milk. Freeze according to your freezer directions.
Tip: If you want another flavor just leave out the cocoa powder, you can have vanilla that way or you can add 2 cups of mashed fruit in the last steps before filling the can with milk, we like strawberry or banana sometimes.
Tip: If you put your storage bowl of homemade ice cream in a paper sack it doesn't get as hard.
I hope I explained this well enough, if you have any questions - just ask!
