I love white chocolate and recently acquired some nice high quality chips so I had to try this ice cream and wow! This ice cream is truly beautiful. It is so creamy, perfectly sweet and quite decadent. I did find that on first taste (which was only after letting it sit overnight in the freezer) I felt like the white chocolate flavour could have been more prominent. I felt like I was tasting half whipping cream, half white chocolate. But after letting this ice cream sit for a couple days all the flavours got a chance to ripen and as soon as I opened the container you could tell it was white chocolate ice cream just by the aroma. The white chocolate was now the star as I expected upon the first tasting and this ice cream has definitely earned 5 stars. Worth the wait and so easy too! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Oh my. This is sweet; this is rich; this is creamy; this is absolutely delicious. Despite the "vanilla" appearance, one taste and there's no question you're eating white chocolate ice cream. Followed the recipe's instructions (using whole milk) and it worked perfectly; it's really a keeper. I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker; it took this mixture all in one batch. It did take an overnight freezing for this to firm up; after about two hours in the freezer it was still at a soft-serve stage. Thanks for posting!
