This was super easy to make and veryyyyy good!

Quick and Easy!

I have been looking for an easy and simple vanilla ice cream recipe and this is definitely it! Its not too sweet and does not require a lot of time and effort and yet it tastes creamy and delicious. Definitely a winner in our house- the only thing i would do next time is add another half tsp vanilla extract because we like it stronger. I used 2 cups half and half and 2 cups 1% milk. If youre looking for a lower calorie/fat recipe then the usual ones i recommend this one!

This recipe made a really good effortless ice cream. It doesn't compare well in texture with a cooked recipe, but for something quick and easy it is much better than most of the other versions I have tried.

I took the advice of one of the viewers here, and replaced the cream with fat free Half and Half, and the whole milk with 1% low fat milk. The recipe turned out fantastic, even with the substitutions! Due to a congenital heart defect, ice cream is off limits to me because of its high fat content. Thanks to Emeril and the viewer who posted above, I can now enjoy one of my favorite desserts again. Bless you both!

I substituted fat free half and half and 1% milk equal ratios, plus used splenda. Not bad and it was excellent with a hot fudge sauce. I think my alters affected the quality of the icecream but it was still good just not creamy awesome ice cream.

This ice cream is great!!! I just use half and half instead of milk and cream. Always use good vanilla extract. That makes the difference.

Easy to make...great to eat...a must try for home ice cream makers!

Mmmmmmmmm!

This is the best homemade ice cream I have ever had.

This ice cream is SO easy to make and is really good!

Absolutely the best recipe for ice cream I've ever made. So far I've made vanilla and mint - they were great!

I was on the look for a good recipe for Root Beer Ice Cream. This looked like a good one. I traded the vanilla for a tablespoon of root beer extract....It came out wonderful!!! Worked great in my ice cream maker.

This recipe was so awesome! I love how you dont have to heat it up or anything - its so SIMPLE. It was a little bit fluffy, I must admit, but otherwise we loved it!!!

Easy to prepare. Good flavor. Reminded me of my grandmother's ice cream from when I was a child.

I thought it was a bit icy. Maybe I should have used egg yolks as Emeril uses in the coffee ice cream on the same episods to make it smoother. Overall, the flavor is pretty good though.
