By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 1/2 gallon whole milk
• 2 tall 12 oz can evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 6 large eggs, blended until foamy
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

combine milks and sugar in heavy pot over double broiler. stir constantly until this almost boils. (this can take up to 30 mins). slowly and rapidly whisk in the eggs to keep them from "cooking" as added. bring mixture to a gentle boil. reduce heat to medium. stir often and cook for about 45 mins or until custard coats metal spoon.

remove from heat. add 1 tbsp vanilla or more sugar if necessary. cool in freezer until freezing begins around edges. refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. consistency should be somewhat thick but pourable.
