French Vanilla Ice Cream (No Cook!)
By Addie
"Someone bought me a Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book (title). This book is great it tells how to make most of their flavors and some. The book can be ordered at the bookstore for about $8.95. The reason I like this ice cream is because you can freeze it and it is like the store bought hard ice cream. I do not eat it right from the freezer because to me it is to creamy. French Vanilla"
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream, milk, and vanilla and whisk to blend.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
Makes 1 Quart
Variation:
Add 1 cup coarsely chopped Reese's Peanut butter cups, after ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done) let it continue processing.

This is amazing, delicious, and easy! I used the double boiler method (cooking the milk & sugar til slightly thickened, then slowly whisking in the eggs and cooking for a while to get the eggs cooked) before I added the cream. I also used vanilla bean paste for that authentic look and the best taste possible. LOVE this one, thanks so much for sharing!
WOW ... super easy to make and great taste. Wanted coconut so instead of 2TSP of vanilla, I used 1TSP coconut extract and 1TSP of vanilla. Wonder for Root Beer floats!
Yum, so so simple. My husband couldn't wait to dig in. No need for storebought again.
Tuesday night is ice cream night around here. This was so delicious! I have a small 1 quart Deni and after 20 minutes of churning the ice cream was coming out of the top. I let it run for 30 and packed it into a plastic container to freeze. I think the ONLY thing that could improve the recipe is a scraped vanilla bean. DH just ate about a pint of it. I can see us never buying vanilla ice cream again. Thanks hcopeland! PS- I have made this four times already and it's still the best. It makes me think of midnight ice cream binges with my Grandmother and a pint of Dolly Madison French Vanilla ice cream when I was a kid. PPS - DH told some friends the other day that my ice cream was better than any he ever had in his life!
Great flavor. I used 3 cups of 2% instead of the whipping cream and milk combo and simmered it to thicken. Very tasty.
This makes the most delicious ice cream! It takes a little muscle to whisk the eggs enough, but it's well worth it. Make sure you get the eggs really frothy and thick; that is KEY. I'd trade a tired-out whisking arm for this ice cream any day.
We were looking for a recipe for ice cream on a whim, so it had to be ingredients we had on hand. Thank you for sharing, this is a great recipe.
I cut the sugar to 1/2 c and added crushed candy canes for amazing & refreshing peppermint ice cream. It was delicious!
Excellent and easy! I also used Egg Beaters and doubled the batch. If you want something extra good, make iron bloomer's easy microwave hot fudge sauce! Crazy good!
Great recipe. Easy and totally delicious.
WOW..!!!! I love this ice cream. I've made it following the recipe and also with add-ins. It's YUMMY. At this moment I have a full recipe ripening in my freezer which I've used cream of coconut and dark chocolate chunks for Mounds Ice Cream...This recipe is so versitile it can be used for any number of flavors. I have also ordered the cookbook the chef got this recipe from, how can I go wrong if it contains more recipes like this. Thank you chef hcopeland, you have made my summer..!
This was the first ice cream I made in my new ice cream machine. We loved it. We have tried variations of it. One time we added homemade Kahlua. Another time we added frozen cherries. This is definitely a keeper.
I LOVE THIS RECIPE...It was truly easy and worth the effort! I just made it for the Fourth of July and the whole family enjoyed it! My nieces were overjoyed at the thought of having HOMEMADE ice cream and I was happy to oblige...Thanks so much!
My 10 year old said this was the best ice cream he had ever eaten in his life, better than anything from any ice cream shop, even BooBoo Bubble Gum. He said it should get novemtrigintillion stars (he is into big numbers lately; that number is 10 to the 120th power). I used half cup sugar and 12 drops liquid stevia, raw milk & cream, and good old farm eggs. I thought it tasted like good plain vanilla, and thought about all the other add-ins, but this was a hit all on its own. This was my first time to make ice cream, and I love it.
This is the best ice cream ever! Easy and simple to make. I added some ground cardamom (about a teaspoon) and chopped almonds and pistachios. Delicious!
Yummy! Making my second batch in as many days...that pretty much says it all! Edit: just made this using brown sugar...WOW!
This is GREAT! We doubled it to make 2 quarts. Very pleased with the flavor and texture. Added chopped Oreos and added just before it was finished. It tasted just like Edy's Cookies and Cream!! So excited!!! Tonight I am going to make it and swirl blueberry pie filling that I made and graham cracker pieces. Hopefully will be something like Blueberry Pie Ala Mode Ice Cream! Thanks for the great recipe!
