Vanilla Ice Cream II

By Addie

"No-cook, no eggs, made with half-and-half and cream. Great, simple, classic vanilla ice cream!"

MY NOTES: Cut recipe in half and up the heavy cream amount. Maybe add an egg too! Eggs make such a big difference!

Ingredients

• 1/2 pint heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Preparation

Step 1

Ok this recipe was so easy and for all of you who loved it try this: I added 1/4 cup of Carnation Coffee-Mate French Vanilla creamer this added a wonderfull flavor and everyone wanted to know what I did to make it taste so rich. worked great will keep this recipe

I chose to make this recipe my first try at vanilla ice cream due to no cooking required and no raw eggs in it. I used homemade vanilla (from this website), so the ice cream had little specks of vanilla bean in it, and was nice and creamy. The instructions say to mix the ingredients together IN the freezer container of the ice cream maker; don't do that if you have the kind of ice cream maker with the already-frozen canister! Mix them in a bowl and then add to the ice cream maker! Oh, I also scaled it down to 8 servings for my 1.5qt ice cream maker; it didn't make a lot; I think 16 servings would be about right for a full recipe.

Delicious recipe for homemade ice cream...I just modified it a little bit by using 1% milk instead of heavy cream, almost 2 cups sugar, and 4 big spoonfuls of vanilla. My entire family said it was the best ice cream they have ever had! Also, I warmed up the milk and dissolved the sugar in it so it wouldn't be gritty.

Very good! I made this recipe three times in two days (with variations) for a large family gathering. The first time it had a grainy texture, so I dissolve the sugar in a 1/4 cup of water and the grainy texture was gone. On my last batch I substituted 1/2 c of vanilla creamer for the half and half . . . IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!

This is a wonderfuly easy and delicious recipe! It is light and creamy without being too rich, I paired it with peach cobbler with heavenly results. I scaled it down to 8 servings to fit my machine and rounded the vanilla extract up a tad and added a scant 1/4 tsp. rum extract and 1/4 tsp. almond extract -- just a touch of these really deepened the vanilla flavor without overpowering it. Just perfect, YUM!

Wonderful. Have had it just vanilla and as a base for other flavors.

This was so easy and so good! I used best quality vanilla, since there are so few ingredients, it makes a big difference. There are maybe better tasting ice cream recipes, but they usually require eggs/custard step. I don't have time to make those very often, and this is better and far more satisfying than most store versions! I have made this a dozen times this summer, and will be making it a million times more!

I put all ingredients in the blender and mix until frothy. No gritty look or feel. I vary this recipe by throwing in candy bars, girl scout cookies, etc. Thanks for the great recipe.

I follow the directions exactly and it is fabulous. It is light, creamy and sweet. It is totally easy, as well. I have never had ice crystals in mine and I have made it 15+ times. I have thought about experimenting with the recipe, but I like it so well, I never do.

Super easy and no cooking. My changes for 8 serving recipe (which was good for 4 only)...3/4 cup heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups half & half, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup Nutella. Whisk, freeze and it's great!!

This was delicious and very easy to make. I served it with fresh berries, but it's definitely good enough to serve alone. I will make it again.

5 stars! This is the best ice cream ever - I will not buy any more ice cream.

I made this recipe at a family barbeque. None of my husbands family had ever had homemade icecream without eggs before. They all loved it and even 3 weeks later are still raving about how delicious it was and wanting to know when I can come back and make it again. Excellent!

This recipe is GREAT! My girl scout troop used it at the last jamboree and got raved reviews. The ingredients are simple and easy to measure. We've also added strawberries to make strawberry ice crenm and left over chocolate pieces to make a chocolate chip variety.
