To make ice cream without an ice cream maker:
You'll need two containers, one that will fit inside the other with at least an inch to spare.
Two sizes of coffee cans work well for this, but any food safe containers will do. Metal is best, but glass will work, too. Plastic does NOT work, as it doesn't conduct the cold very well. Be sure to tape or tie the lid down firmly on the smaller container. Place it in the larger coffee can or other container and put in enough ice, alternating with layers of rock salt two or three times, to completely pack the cavity between the two cans.
Seal the larger can well, too, then go play 'kick the can' with it, or roll it back and forth between kids, or just hold and jiggle it like you would to hand churn butter for anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. You can also make drain holes in the bottom of the larger container, punching them with a nail, but it can be messy if the can will be passed back and forth.
To check for "doneness", it won't hurt to take off the lid and stir. If it's not frozen solid enough, drain the water caused by melting ice, repack and shake or roll again.
Recipes for homemade ice cream vary from the super smooth, egg-and-cream-rich ices of the old south to the plain milk and sugar kind, but all can be adapted to a coffee can ice cream maker - just use a half recipe or less.
However you do it, home made ice cream, while usually more expensive than store bought ice cream, is frugal entertainment as well as a special treat to eat.
