Easy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

We started to make the non ice cream maker one only to realize that we were suppose to whip the whipping cream before folding it into the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla mixture. So then we added it it our ice cream maker. What we ended up with was a delicious and creamy vanilla ice cream that pleased all 6 of us! My oldest said it had a “marshmallow vibe. We also made a mint chocolate cookie frozen custard(we dyed it purple instead of green, because why not) and made mixed cones. Super happy tummies in this house

Very nice. I only had half the amount of light cream called for, so I just halved the recipe. Instead of vanilla extract, I used the seeds/whatever you scrape from a vanilla bean instead. It had a lovely vanilla flavor that way. Husband was complaining it was gritty, but I think that is bc he was eating it before placing it back in the freezer--ice cream making is a process for a reason! Otherwise, he liked it. He added in M&Ms apparently bc he could. I tried it and thought it was good, but can't have much of it due to being lactose intolerant. Thanks for the recipe!

Not bad. Not actually good either. It would be better if it had more fat in it, and that's the honest truth. Nothing wrong with the flavor, if you want more vanilla, add more vanilla. Taste the mixture before you freeze it to make sure it tastes vanilla enough. Really if you want to use this recipe and you want it to be creamy, use 2 cups half&half and 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream (not whipped cream, not Cool Whip!) rather than 4 of half&half, it'll improve the texture. This ice cream is best enjoyed the day it's made -- after that it gets crystallized. Thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe! So incredibly easy, so I was thinking it can't be that good. But it is! I love how it doesn't require eggs or cooking. Just dump everything into a bowl, stir, and put it in your ice cream maker. The flavor is so rich and delicious. Upon first bite my husband proclaimed "We're never buying store-bought ice cream again!" Next I want to try using whole milk instead of half and half, and adding fruits or other goodies.
