  1. I have used this recipe from their cookbook for over a decade. Great base for whatever you choose to add. We frequently swap out 2% to get the fat content down a little but you have to decide if you are happy with the change in texture from loss of fat. I personally think it's a small price to pay for somewhat healthier ice cream. If you add fruit, such as blueberries, I suggest adding them highly chilled to slightly frozen but not completely frozen. This will help the ice cream set at a reasonable speed.
     
  2. Finally I’ve made “real” ice cream . Thank you so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to make all different flavors using this as a base.
     
  3. Great recipe, and easily adaptable to fruit ice cream or candy add ins. Freezes well, so you don't have to eat it all at once.
     
  4. This makes a great base for any icecream. I have been making it for year in my old fashion ice cream maker. The creamier you want it the higher fat milk you use. Less creamy add less fat. I have made it with light half and half and 1/2% milk. Just comes out with larger ice chunks. Always awesome. Couldn't find my cook book so was thankful to find it here. Surprised no rave reviews. Very easy and very yummy.
