Coffee Can Ice Cream-You will never believe that crafting a batch of homemade ice cream can be so much fun! You simply grab the kids, two coffee cans, ingredients for the ice cream and roll away!

What you will need:

•2 clean metal cans, both with lids (make one can larger than the second)
•1 cup of very cold whole milk or cream
•1 cup sugar
•1 tsp vanilla
•1 tbs chocolate syrup
•Ice
•Salt

Instructions for the project-Place the ice cream mixture in the smaller coffee can (make sure it’s clean) and seal with the lid on tightly. Place the smaller can in the larger can. Pour the ice and salt around the smaller can making sure it is more or less in the center. Seal the larger can with its lid tightly and roll it around for about a half hour. This process works great if you are involving the kids. Have them sit on the floor and roll the can between them. Best of all when it’s done you’ll have a nice container to keep the ice cream in!
