EXCELLENT! I was looking for a banana ice cream recipe and you couldn't get more of a banana taste than this. I substituted 3 bananas for the strawberries and left out the vanilla extract. Thank you NELL 2 for sharing!

Loved it. I grew up eating homemade raspberry ice cream and have wanted to make ice cream for years with my own family. My mother was not home to give me here recipe so tried ths one. Never made ice cream with sweetened condensed milk but this was great. Made peach ice cream and was worried about it being a little bland from reading other reviews so add a little over 1/8 cup sugar. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Thanks

This recipe is soo easy I have made it with different fruit, Mango-rosemary, Mango-Kiwi,Peach, Cherry and Banana and it is awesome everytime. I put the ingredients in the blender first and it makes it real creamy.. Great Recipe. Thank you.

If you use this with peaches, cut back on the vanilla as it overpowers the peaches. Worked well with blackberries, but may overpower other fruit. Easy method and I found it fairly creamy.

I would have a hard time finding a recipe that was more disappointing, I think. I am still very upset I wasted my time, ingredients, and all that money! I followed the recipe, exactly, except I wasted some very delicious peaches. I even used top of the line ingredients! It was icy, not creamy AT ALL. Not sweet and the delicious peach flavor was somewhere in there but I couldn't find it. I have no idea what kind of ice cream everyone else likes but this one produced something that was no where near what I enjoy!

I used low fat condensed milk; and 1/2 half and half, and 1/2 fat free half and half in place of the milk and cream and it came out great. I also used snickers bars instead of the fruit, (so much for a healthier version) I halved the recipe and it was still too much for my 1 1/2 qt mixer so I used half and saved the rest for tomorrow. I loved it but my FH said a little too sweet and too much vanilla, but again I loved it.

I absolutely love this recipe. Once summer hits, this becomes a staple in our house. My favorite version is with strawberries & mini chocolate chips...yummy!

WOW! Great ice cream recipe. I've got cantaloupes growing all over the place, so I thought cantaloupe ice cream would be an interesting version of this recipe. I chopped the cantaloupe and added 1 cup of skim milk to the blender. It purred up nicely! Since I halved the recipe, I ended up using 5cups (with the 1 cup skim milk included) cantaloupe puree, another 1 cup skim milk, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 tbsp vanilla a pinch of salt and 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk. Made sure it all all blended well and put the mix in my small ice cream maker. 20 mins later we had the most flavorful cantaloupe ice cream! I picked the fruit straight off the vine and within an hour had ice cream. Dang good ice cream, too. WOW.

If you're going to make this, you better like the taste of sweetened condensed milk because it is really strong in this recipe. It even overpowered blackberries, which are a very flavorful fruit. It's also more like ice milk than ice cream. Maybe needs half and half instead of milk.

Yum, Yum, Yum! This was such an easy recipe! I halfed the recipe due to that it really made a lot-now I wished I'd made the entire amount and put it in the freezer for summer! The only thing I did different in this recipe is took the advice of others: I wanted creamy strawberry and not chuncks in the ice cream, so I put my strawberries in a pot over low heat, added a few tablespoons of sugar and smashed the strawberries with a fork, this made them more pureed and that is what I wanted in my ice cream. It worked great! It was so creamy-thanks for a great recipe that I will for sure make again this summer!

This is a great basic ice cream recipe. I used one 16 oz package of frozen strawberries, thawed and crushed, instead of the fresh. I also wanted to cut back on the fat so I used skim milk and half and half instead of the whole milk and cream, and everyone loved it. I'm sure that it wasn't as creamy as it would have been otherwise, but it was still delicious!

This was okay, but I expected better after I read the reviews. It seemed to take forever to freeze in the ice cream maker. After a few hours in the freezer, it was hard as a rock and was very icy. The fruit flavor was definitely lacking, and the condensed milk gave it a "processed" taste. It was definitely the easiest homemade ice cream I've ever made, but it was far from the best.

I made this twice so far , i love recipes that allow for creation a bit . First was with 'Triple Berries " (frozen) , they were raspberries , blueberries and marionberries .They gave the ice cream a wonderful purple color .The second time was with (frozen again ) strawberries , and i added a few drops of red and a drop of blue food dye to give the color . Everyone who tasted them loved them , there's only few things i want to say : I have the Cuisinart Ice cream maker , 1 1/2 quart , i halved the recipe the first time to fit in it but it was still a little too much mixture for the machine to handle and the berries ( i hadn't chopped throughly because i wanted texture in the ice cream )kind of clogged it , unfortunately i didn't remember this next time and did the same mistake . So the the walls get frozen but inside isn't churned perfectly . Just a reminder, maybe i should do 1/3 of the recipe next time and chop the fruit throughly . Also , the batch with strawberries came out better (sweeter and creamier) and i think that's due to the tartness of the other berries maybe ? I'm thinking about making this with pie filling as well , (peaches ?) and i will update my review then . I agree the texture is more icy then creamy , but i let the ice cream sit on the countertop for 5 mins before serving it , that mostly solves that problem . And although i half everything else when making it , i keep the berries ( fruit) the same amount and it hasn't hurt the ice cream so far . I

I made this without the fruit, and it was great, but I bet with fruit is good too. Ease of prep and the great flavor makes this my new standard recipe for ice cream!

My whole family really enjoys this recipe. I have made this 3 times so far, once with raspberries. After we made the strawberry icecream I thought it might be better if the strawberries were mashed a little, although I have not tried this yet, but I will. I have also tried once using FF half and half in place of the milk and FF sweetened cond. milk, and the heavy cream and no one could tell the difference. I thought it froze well too both ways fine. If you want the taste more like Breyers(which I love), is to heat the milk, take a vanilla bean, slice it open lengthwise, scrap out the inside with a spoon or blunt end of knife, stir it in the milk mixture,then toss the whole bean in the milk, chill. Before mixing, take out the bean, rinse it, dry it, and you could put in a sugar container for vanilla sugar later for your coffee, tea or use the sugar for cooking. If you do this do not add as much vanilla extract, I only put about half. But made just like the recipe states, it is very good, and my family all voted we like this one the best so far out of about 6 recipes.

I substituted pineapple for the berries. It was easy to make, but not the best ice cream recipe I've used. The texture was a little bit more icey than creamy. It was good out of the machine, but didn't freeze well.
