Easy Vanilla Ice Cream

This ice cream was best soft served. Like other reviews it was a bit grainy when soft served and icy one placed in the freezer, but that did not affect the taste at all just texture. Soft served had a light grainy texture and when frozen it was very airy and slightly icy. It was super delicious either way!!! I have never made ice cream before. I did add a dash more of the vanilla essence than suggested and I used organic vanilla essence to maximize the natural flavor.

What says summertime more than homemade vanilla ice cream? Maybe that atop a brownie! This is delicous and easy.

Loved the flavor. Very simple easy ice cream recipe. Be sure to mix before pouring into your ice cream maker or it will freeze on the sides.

Being vegan, this was a great recipe to use as a jumping off point. I used vegan heavy cream (mimicreme) and coconut milk. I used half monkfruit sweetener and half stevia because we don't do white sugar. Also added some vanilla bean.

OK, so I tweaked this! When your granddaughter asks for chocolate, that's what you have! I added 1 cup of dutch process cocoa, and subbed out 1/2 cup of the white sugar for brown. Chocoholics, beware! This is seriously good! Melts a little fast, but who has time for that, lol!

It was pretty good. I followed others advice and heated up the cream the night before to dissolve the sugar. It went great with home made apple pie.

I made this recipe as it was written, and it turned out fabulous. This is a double batch for the Cuisinart, so anyone with that machine might want to half it (but who wants to half this - it's SO GOOD, and I'm a self-proclaimed chocoholic!!).
