Nicely flavored ice cream that I was able to reduce without any problems. I made a few subsitutions that may have caused the slightly grainy taste such as subsituting egg subsitute in place of the eggs and low fat condensed milk in place of regular.

Good, but not great—I didn't find it creamy or rich enough

What a great strawberry ice cream! I did mix warmed cream with the egg/sugar mixture and heated it to 160F to pasturize the eggs; I then added the sweetened condensed milk. After chilling, the mix was very smooth and slightly thickened. Is a great base for strawberry and other fruit flavored ice creams.

This is the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had. It was the first time I've made it from scratch and I will never go back to store bought again. I put a few too many strawberries which meant a few extra ice crystals but it's well worth the super strawberry taste.
