Homemade Icecream

I have been wanting to learn how to make icecream for a long time, I've always been intimidated to make it though. It seemed like it would be a lot of work. I was surprised how simple it was. My friend Heather brought some homemade Raspberry Icecream to our recipe night last month and it was heaven! I was at Walmart last week and I saw a icecream maker for 25 dollars and got it. I made some icecream the other day with my kids and their friends, they were fascinated with the whole process. We had a fun time;)

This recipe is for 4 quarts
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt

Combine sugar, flour and salt in saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. cook over medium heat until thickened. Gradually stir in 1 cup of hot mixture into beaten eggs. Add egg mixture to remaining hot mixture, stirring constantly. Cook 1 minute, remove from heat. Refrigerate 2 hours. Combine whipping cream and vanilla in large blow, add chilled mixture, stirring with wire whisk to combine. Add crushed oreos. Then freeze in ice cream maker.
