Take it from us dairy farmers, this old-fashion ice cream is marvelous! It's made from a treasured recipe passed down in the Troyer family and was a big hit at our "black-and-white" birthday party. —Carol Troyer, Pryor, Oklahoma and Teresa Stutzman, Adair, Oklahoma

I have been trying different ice cream recipe to make with raw fresh milk. This one is without a doubt the best I've tried. The consistency is like good boughten ice cream, but the flavour is out of this world! Try it with 2 cups of strawberry purée !

Verty good ice cream. I have always made the quick ice that don't have to be cooked, but I think this is worth the extra time and effort.
