An excellent recipe, especially for those who have just gotten their ice cream machines and are looking for a basic recipe to start with. I changed it a bit, fearing that using the whole 2 2/3 cup of heavy cream would be too rich. I only used 2/3 c cream and 2 c half and half. It tasted wonderful. I also omitted the choclate chips simply because it is rich enough on its own without added chocolate. It reminded me of the chocolate soft serve you can get at a popular fast food place. Exact same flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper, perhaps next time I will add some mint extract, or perhaps some almonds and marshmallows.

Excellent receipe! It was simple to make and the kids loved it. I did add a bit of milk to make the egg go further and added some frozen peas and broccoli. It was an excellent way to sneak it some good veggies for my picky niece.

This is a wonderful recipe. I have altered it some to suit our tastes by adding extra onion diced, carrots, potatoes and in the last hour of cooking I will add cabbage cut up into wedges. I am notorious for never making a recipe the same way twice and have experimented with various spices. Pepper, marjoram, bay leaves, chili powder all work well and if you want a bit of kick add a few splashes of hot pepper sauce, I recommend habanero instead of jalapeno.
