Grandmother Gray’s Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream

Grandma Child’s Hot Fudge

Grandma Childs’ Hot Fudge

Published April 20, 2018 | By Emily

The other recipe we talked about in our Snippets from the Past segment is Grandma Childs’ homemade hot fudge. It’s very simple and delicious, just like everything our Grandma made.

1/2 cup cocoa

1/2 cup butter

1 can evaporated milk

4 cups powdered sugar

Melt butter in saucepan and whisk in cocoa. Add evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in powdered sugar. Heat and stir until powdered sugar is completely dissolved. Hot Fudge will be quite runny and that’s how we always liked it!

Enjoy!

Grandmother Gray’s Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream

Published April 20, 2018 | By Emily

We shared some of our favorite recipes from our grandmothers. Here is the recipe for Tutti Fruitti Ice Cream from our Grandmother Gray. This recipe assumes you have a large ice cream freezer. We always used the style that takes ice and salt, rather than the smaller self-freezing ice cream freezers.

2 1/2 cups Sugar

6 cups milk

3 teaspoons vanilla

Heat in a saucepan until just warm. Meanwhile, dissolve 4 tablets Junket in a little water. Add Junket to mixture and place in ice cream freezer to set with a little ice and salt around for about five minutes.

Add:

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 can evaporated milk

Juice of 1 lemon

1 can well-drained crushed pineapple

1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Add milk to reach 4 inches from top of freezer canister.

Seal canister and add more ice and layers of salt to create brine and freeze according to instructions of your freezer.
