Everyone should try out this recipe, this ice cream will be the best you have ever had, and it was so easy to make. The only this i did different was, i used the vanilla extract, and a whole vanilla bean. This ice cream is to die for, it's so creamy and easy!! Yummy!!

I thought this was excellent. Keeping my fingers crossed it would turn out ok, I used light condensed milk, one carton of full fat heavy cream and one of half fat heavy cream. It worked and I didn't think it was too sweet. At the 2 hour stirring point I added in cookie dough for ice cream also from this site.As other reviewers have mentioned it does freeze very hard so it does need to sit out for a while before serving. Many Thanks.

I like this recipe a lot. I always use this recipe as it does not go icy and it tastes just like it's from the supermarket. I have made Lavender (use less vanilla and add 1 drop of pure lavender oil), Raspberry, and Chocolate chip cookie dough (which you cannot get in my country) all with success. be sure to fold the whipped cream in very carefully as you do not want to crush all the air out of it. Some people have complained that you get a greasy film on the top of your mouth, this is because of the fat in the cream. It can be remedied by adding other ingredients such as berries which break up the cream. Make sure to use good quality vanilla or don't be surprised that it tastes like cream and condensed milk (duh.) This ice cream freezes rock hard so be sure to take it out a bit before serving.

Absolutely delicious! I agree with the previous review: it reminds me of gelato, the Italian ice cream. It took about 10 minutes to prepare, too! What a treat. It does leave a film on the top of your mouth, but, the main ingredient is HEAVY whipping cream! What would you expect?

It may be personal preference, but I was disappointed. The taste was ok; however, I grew up making homemade ice cream in the old hand-churned makers and this just did not compare. Tasted alot like frozen whipped cream, which probably shouldn't have been a surprise to me since in essence that's what the recipe is. Worth a shot I guess if you don't own an ice cream maker, but if you're a true ice cream lover I suggest just buying one and making the real deal.

The colour was right. The texture perfect. But unfortunately it didn't taste so good. I could taste the condensed milk and the cream. It was hard to eat cause it was soo sweet, too sweet. And not at all that nice. It left a scratchy feeling at the back of my throat. Won't make it again.

Incredibly easy to make, but a bit too creamy for my taste. Perhaps using light cream or skim milk would better suit me? I'm not sure. It also froze so hard to the point where I had to microwave it a little to get a scoop in.

I used an ice cream maker for this.., mine holds 1 & 1/2 quarts & this recipe filled it to capacity. I was out of heavy cream so I subbed some evaporated milk instead. The can wasn't quite 2 cups so I added additional milk (2% organic). This ice cream was good but too sweet. I thought it tasted just like frozen sweetened condensed milk. Now, I have been known to eat a spoonful or two but a whole bowl is a bit much, even for me. ;o) I crushed up some M&M's & topped my hubby & grandson's bowl w/ that...I chose to go w/ mini-chocolate chips & toffee bits on mine. As easy as this was, w/ so few ingredients, I am sure I will make this again but I will cut back on the sweetened condensed milk....thanks Alisha!

It is was my first time making ice cream and my daughter said it was the best she ever tasted. After eating a bowlful, it left a greasey taste on the roof of my mouth, it was still the best ice cream I ever had.

I usually don't think of homemade ice cream as tasting as good as the store bought kind (too icy and runny) but this is fantastic!!! I think I'll try other reviewers ideas for different flavors next time I make this. (And I will make it again)

We didn't think this was as smooth as ice cream, but it was pretty good! I added "cookie dough for ice cream (eggless)" from this site. Very delicious together! I like the fact that I don't have to use an ice cream maker! Thanks for the recipe!

I made this recipe while camping w/ one of those new camping roller ball ice cream makers. It worked great. I used half and half instead of the milk and heavy cream. Added some cookies that had been crushed on the way to the campsite. Turned out great and was a fun treat on a very hot day on the beach.

This is the BEST ice cream I've ever had. It's easy to make and tastes great. We sometimes add freeze-dried strawberries or crumbled Oreos for a different flavor.

Mine didn't set anywhere nearly as firmly as regular ice cream, but the flavor was absolutely out of this world. I followed the recipe as written, then divided the ice cream into 3 storage containers. I made one into mint choc chip, another into choc choc chip, and the third I left plain. Delicious! Thank you, Alisha!

I can't believe how absolutely delicious this ice cream is!! I did substitute 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream and the milk (I guess that makes it a 4 ingredient ice cream) like another reviewer suggested but it was still fabulous. I also used my small ice cream maker. I will make this again and again. I'm so happy to have this recipe. Thanks!

I used evaporated milk instead of ordinary milk. Really rich and creamy. States better than some of the store bought stuff. Instant hit.

Taste was very good. My only recomendation to possibly make it better is to check it long before 2hrs. to see if the edges are hardening to stir. If I would have done that I believe the texture would have been better. Regardless though I will definatly be making this again and again.
