I'm kind of obsessed with ice cream - even more so since I got my ice cream maker a few months ago. Here's a recipe from the '70s that I found on the great website Click Americana. It seems to be from an advertisement featuring Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk and the Proctor-Silex Electric Ice Cream Freezer. I decided to go with cola for this recipe, because it's one of my favourite pop flavours and because it was included as a suggestion in the advertisement.
Original Recipe:
World’s simplest recipe: Pour 2 cans of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk and two 28 oz. bottles (or four 12 oz. cans) of soda pop into freezer drum and let the Proctor-Silex Freezer do the rest. Makes two quarts of Frozen Passion in minutes.
If you don’t have an electric ice cream freezer, make Frozen Passion in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. Pick up a recipe at your supermarket. For small families, cut the recipe in half.
Here's a more recent version of the recipe, from Quick & Easy Desserts (1986), an advertising cookbook for Eagle Brand:
The taste of this wasn't bad, but it was a little weird to me. The sweetened condensed milk had a very distinct flavour and was really sweet. A bit too sweet for me, I think. By the way, I halved this recipe and it baaaaarely fit into my ice cream maker. It makes a lot! That Proctor-Silex Freezer must have been a beast!
I wonder how this would taste with root beer, orange soda, or even something really tart like lemonade or grapefruit soda. Or maybe cream soda? Anyway, what I liked best was how easy this recipe is. You literally pour in two ingredients and then sit back and relax. It's completely unhealthy, but that's what you get for convenience I guess. I'm giving this 3 stars mostly because I didn't like the flavour combination I chose. With the right pop and perhaps a little less sweetened condensed milk to ease up on the sugar, I think this could bump up to 4.

Why not try it with unsweetened condensed milk?
ReplyDeletereally neat site!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting idea! I actually really love sweetened condensed milk, so I wonder if I'd like this recipe. I'd love to try it with root beer or orange soda!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting and delicious! I wouldn't have thought of that, thanks so much for sharing!
