Nighthawk, It only makes a pint and you know your mama taught you to share. So why bother, a half pint of ice sound like what they say should be a serving and is in effect half a serving at most.
The best ice cream comes out of a hand cranked freezer, now that White Mountain is the Cadillac of freezers the inner dasher and container rotate opposite from the outer dasher. I have had one since the 70's. My son has already said when mom and I are gone, it's his. The cream is better when you are young and are barely strong enough to turn the handle, effort mixed with cream, cane sugar and vanilla flavoring make the best. A few ripe strawberries never hurt either.
