Got a new ice cream maker for my kitchen aid artisan. Wanted to try something easy and this sure was. Tastes great!!!! Reminds me if the ice cream cones you get at McDonalds

This is a tasty recipe - yet a very expensive recipe! 2C. Heavy whipping cream + 2C/ 1/2 & 1/2 is a very rich combination. It will serve well for the family, but usually is best mixed with fruits to stretch the quantity yielded!

Oh, and this recipe makes 1.5 quarts. My machine makes 4 quarts, so I doubled the recipe and made 3 quarts. Just thought I'd point that out.
Yum!!! We make homemade ice cream every Summer but I've never tasted vanilla ice cream as good as this! It's better than commercial brands! I can't wait to add strawberries, etc. Its creamy with a good texture and it freezes perfectly! I was amazed that it was even better the next day. NO ice chunks, etc. it came out of the tub just as smoothly as it went in! In fact, ours was a bit mushy when it was done, (maybe because we ran out of ice,) but it set up perfectly once it was in the freezer a few hours! I don't know why you'd ever buy ice cream again when you can make this! The only downside is that its very fattening, but the tasties food usually is! I wonder if you could try less fattening ingredients and get the same , (or almost the same,) result???

This is one of the best homemade ice creams I have ever had! The best part is there is no cooking and cooling involved. The next day it scooped out of a container beautifully and was not icy textured but very creamy.

I made this recipe and it was great. I doubled it and added a 16 ounce bag of frozen strawberries that I had run through the food processor.

I have always used an ice cream recipe that had to be cooked in a double boiler, included eggs which had to be tempered before adding, etc. I decided to take a chance on this simpler recipe and am so glad I did. It was creamy and smooth and rich and yummy! I doubled it to fit in my full-size ice cream freezer. It was a big hit along with blueberry sauce at our 4th of July celebration.

I have used this recipe to make homemade ice cream before & it's great! No cooking involved, just mix & make! :)
