Ashburn’s Ice Cream Recipe

“We didn’t make homemade ice cream. We made Ashburn’s Ice Cream,” said Bill Ashburn in the July-August issue. Now you can make Ashburn’s Ice Cream too.

We had this recipe ready and waiting, but just ran out of room. So many people have shared their Ashburn’s memories that we decided to make room this time. Will that be one scoop or two?

Ashburn’s Original Vanilla Ice Cream

(Converted from a two-hundred gallon recipe by Lawrence Ashburn in August 2002.)

  • 3 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 49 ounces (3 ½ 14 ounce cans) sweetened condensed nonfat milk
  • ¼ cup of sugar
  • ½ ounce plain gelatin dissolved in 1 cup warm water
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Adams vanilla extract
  • 3 drops yellow food coloring
  • 1 drop red food coloring

Mix ingredients thoroughly, and then add enough water to make one gallon of mix.

Freeze according to freezer’s directions.

  2. Any luck with the recipes? Looking for Hawiaian Delight – my grandfather was remenising just last night to me in his Lazy boy about the best icecream ever! – He said he thought it was sold in Minyard’s grocery store? Anyway that is still possible?

  3. Bill Ashburn, who has an insurance business in Denison may have some of the recipes.

  4. In the mid-50’s, I rode my bike most every day after school to Ashburn’s on Camp Bowie (Ridglea) in Fort Worth. Ordered “Pecan Crunch.” It is still the best ice cream and the best flavor of ice cream I’ve ever eaten. So the question is, “Who has/owns the recipes to Ashburn’s ice creams today? Especially PECAN CRUNCH?!”
