This recipe does oddly make something that appears like an ice cream. It however, tastes a little more like frozen yogurt, but has the texture of frozen yogurt mixed with cool whip. It was just too tart for my taste buds. The only change I made was using non fat plain yogurt instead of the sour cream. I noticed others did that to. I tried the coffee flavor, in the footnotes, and added a spoon of mini chips. The tartness and coffee didn't go together in my opinion. I think I would have preferred chocolate or mint chocolate chip. After 1 1/2 hours of stirring, every 30 minutes, it was still soft. It takes a good 5 hours to completely freeze. One person that tried it said, ooh ice cream and then asked why it was tart and why it didn't melt to a milk on the toungue. Mine did have some ice crystals, but I didn't stir it after the 3rd time. I am not sure why, but I just got a tart frozen cool whip in a cup.

This was amazing! I made a triple batch using 9 eggs total (because that's what I had on hand), and 3 times 2/3 cup sour cream and it turned out great! One batch was vanilla flavored, the other was chocolate (added 2tbs cocoa), and the third was coffee flavored (added 1tsp instant coffee). It turned out great, with the coffee flavored one being by far the best for my taste :) Will be making often!

I made this ice cream last week with my husband. It was very easy to make, but it took way more than 2 hours to freeze it. (Could be my freezer, though.) I put it in the freezer and stirred every 30 minutes for 4 hours and it still wasn't done. So, we went to bed (so I didn't stir it anymore) and when we woke up it was frozen. It was a tad crystallized because of not stirring, but it tasted pretty good. We just did vanilla.

Great recipe and so simple to make. It came out a little sweet though the first time so we reduced the amount of sugar and it was perrrfect. We even got creative and made different variations like the strawberry version (by adding about 6 pureed strawberries to the final mixture, yum!) One thing that you shouldn't ignore is mixing the ice cream every 30 minutes which gives it a creamier texture. Thanks for sharing! Recently we used this recipe to make Rose water ice cream by substituting vanilla essence and half of the sour cream with 1/4 pint of heavy cream (whipped) and 2&1/2 tsp of 100% Pure Rose Water. It came out great.

My mother who always refused to eat my ice-cream finally agreed to this! She was so worried about her cholesterol, so now thanks so much for the solution! I mixed in 1 tbs of coffee powder and 1tbs cocoa, thus created a nice mocha feeling. Will try other variety next time!

Super tasty! With a tangy-ness to it like those fancy froyo places that are popping up everywhere. I threw in unsweetened baking cocoa and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Made it in a metal mixing bowl and stirred about once every 20min or so. It was gone in 2 days!

Wow, this turned out better than I thought it would! I used free range egg whites, fat free sour cream and Splenda. For mocha ice cream, I used the two teaspoons instant coffee and two tablespoons of my own homemade sugar free chocolate syrup. I had a small helping as did my kids but my husband finished off the rest. Super easy, super good. I can't wait to try more flavors.
