Food Flub - Evaporated milk ice cream

So I was hanging out with a friend one night and I wanted to do something random and fun. I had been goofing around on Pinterest (I get a lot of my inspiration there- at least food wise) and came across THIS pin to THIS blog post.

Ice Cream from evaporated milk?!?! Just 2 ingredients and no need for a  this is the greatest thing ever! I must try it!

I rushed through reading the recipe and thought I would be ok to just wing it. I had sugar and I had a can of evaporated milk.

What could go wrong?

Using my handy - dandy Kitchen aid stand mixer passed on to me by my wonderful Grandma Vicki, I whipped the chilled milk then added the sugar and whipped it some more. All in a well chilled bowl.

It looks yummy!

But then we tried it. It tasted like really stale marshmallows. Not very edible. Unless you like stale marshmallows. I would imagine there is someone out there who does. I like a lot of weird things. No judgments but I was disappointed to the max. 

A couple days later I decided to look at the original post again... 

Looking closer I realized that it called for POWDERED sugar... not regular ol' granulated. 

So I will be trying this recipe again. Sometime.
