French Vanilla Ice Cream

Recipe #4790 | 25 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: hcopeland

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

1 Quart (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. 4
    Makes 1 Quart **variation: add 1 cup coarsely chopped Reece's Peanut butter cups, after ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before it is done) let it continue processing.

My husband made this without an ice cream maker (well, HE was the ice cream maker, I guess) and stirred it several times at regular intervals to break up the ice crystals... or something. Hey, I don't know anything about ice cream! Anyway, I tasted it later and it was very nice. And that's saying something for someone who's not a fan of sweet stuff. Thank you for making my husband happy. lol

    This ice cream is DELICIOUS and so VERY EASY. With an elec ice cream maker, it can be made on the spur of the moment! (Maybe this is not a good thing!) I have made it twice, once following the recipe exactly, and that was just wonderful. The second time I used 1 C light cream and 1 C heavy cream instead of the 2 C whipping cream, and increased the vanilla to a tablespoon. The result was also wonderful, and I liked the slightly stronger vanilla. I will probably keep modifying it, to try and reduce the fat a little and see how low I can go and still have it remain creamy after being stored in the freezer.

    I. too found this a little bit "icy" after tempering in the freezer. I think next time I'll cheat and cook the custard mix before chilling and freezing...(defeats the purpose, but WTF?). I bet Ben & Jer cook their eggs just for liability issues anyway!!! Great flavor and it made for a decadent milkshake.
