i must say it, this recipe was delicious, i added my own twist to it by infusing lavender into the whole milk in the beginning, and then cooling that. Once i had my eggs and sugar combined i added the whole milk in and heated it and stirred more dried lavender in for appearance and texture. Then when i got everything mixed and out of the ice cream maker (in soft serve consistency) and swirled in some home made black berry sauce, and froze it over night... It was to die for!

A double batch came out to about 24 oz. So we tried making another double batch. I used skim milk with both bcz that's all I had. The first batch came out great and froze just like storebought. The 2nd batch didn't freeze in the ice cream maker, so we put it in the freezer and froze it, but it got a little icy. Not sure what happened the 2nd time, although the first time, I forgot to add the sugar until after I added the whipping cream. Used 1 T vanilla (homemade) for a double batch.
