Notes: We think Grandma got this recipe from Great Aunt Arlene Lindskoog (Uncle Wally’s wife). It is very light-tasting and creamy. We kids used to hang around the back yard when Grandpa Elwood was freezing ice cream, hoping he’d let us lick the mixing paddles when the process was done. In those days we had an electric mixer, but Grandpa had to buy a huge hunk of ice in a burlap sack and crush it so it would fit into the ice cream freezer to make it cold.
People tell us nowadays not to use recipes that use uncooked eggs. The family has used this recipe safely for years, however, without anybody getting salmonella. Make up your own mind about the risk—and buy the best-quality eggs you can find.
