For those who want a less like whip cream. Use only 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream 1 1/2 cups of half and half 1c. Of whole milk It works quite well
It was very good and i will be making it again
Tasted like whipped cream. Very fluffy and fatty. I will look for a different recipe for ice cream.
The first time I made this, I had some vanilla bean. Which I used in conjunction with the extract. What a beautiful rich and creamy ice cream. All the family raved.
This tasted great and was super easy to make!
I made this per the instructions in this recipe and ended up with frozen whipped cream topping. No joke! You could have opened a tub of CoolWhip straight out of the freezer, and you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. I want ice cream, not frozen whipped cream, I should have known better by the high fat ratio in the ingredients. Wasted money and time.
Wonderful, flavorful, easy recipe! Everyone loved it! I will keep this as our favorite ice cream recipe.
Well it looks like ecoderre May be making a fool of themselves. Comparing this recipe to a frozen custard is like comparing Chicago deep dish pizza to New York thin crust. They are very different styles. I actually made this recipe and couldn’t be happier. Simple, pure and no apologies to vanilla extract. Delicious!!
I agree with Audrey. Ecoderre should not post a review without trying a recipe. This is what i did. I first made the recipe for my family, as written. They gave it 5 stars. I follow a ketogenic diet, and have found ways to modify most things so that I can eat them. I used the basic recipe. Substituted allulose (a natural sweetener) for the sugar, and full fat coconut milk for the half and half. Its WONDERFUL!!! Make this your own. add in chocolate chips. berries. some caramel ice cream topping (or make your own) use flavorings. etc. You wont be sorry!!! Everyone in my house is happy. Carbers and non carbers alike. THANK YOU FOR THIS EXCELLENT RECIPE!
This recipe is the greatest! All you need is a mixer and container to freeze in! My son has stomach issues and regular ice cream from the store makes him sick! When I make this ice cream he has no issues and I can make his favorite! I put green food coloring with a couple drops of peppermint and mix away and you can put in freezer let get firm and stir in choc chips and have choc chip mint!
