To 1 qt. milk, add the yolks of 2 eggs, 1 qt. cream, 1 lb. sugar, and 1 qt. of very strong, clear coffee.

The well beaten whites of eggs added to any kind of ice cream seem to make it less heavy and more velvety. - Mrs. C. C. Can-thorn, Niles Center, 111.
When cream is scarce condensed milk is sometimes used as a substitute. This recipe will make 2 quarts of the frozen cream. Scald 1 can condensed milk and 1 1/2 pts. fresh milk together and turn over the beaten yolks of 2 eggs Return to the kettle and cook until creamy. Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and when cold add vanilla extract and freeze. - Mrs. Willis Bowman, Palos Park, 111.
All fruit ice creams are made in substantially the same way as the peach cream, but where seed fruits, such as currants, are used, the carefully strained juice only must be added. This can be put in the freezer with the cream and not reserved until later, as in the case of the mashed fruits. Grated pineapple, with the addition of a little lemon juice makes a particularly fine fruit cream. - Mrs. Ed. Davis, Grass Point, 111.
