FANTASTIC!!! A few important things to note: check your ice cream maker as this recipe makes a lot of ice cream. I cut the recipe in half and it was still too much for our maker. I made the mix in a pitcher and just poured the appropriate amount in the mixer, leaving the rest in the pitcher to make another small batch later. Second, I used 2/3 heavy cream and 1/3 2% milk. Other reviewers mentioned they had ice crystals, but I did not have that problem. Right out of the ice cream maker, it was a bit like soft serve so I put the canister in the freezer for a few hours and wound up with some amazingly creamy and delicious ice cream! I also threw a small handful of chocolate chips in during the last 5 minutes of mixing, but I think miniature chips would be better. This is now my go-to vanilla ice cream recipe! YUMMY!!!

I am not sure if it is me and what I call ice cream, but bleh bleh bleh. I has the consistency and taste of coolwhip. When I mixed everything together it filled not even 1/2 of make ice cream maker. by the time it was done, it was to the top. Maybe I prefer "Ice Milk" it left a gross aftertaste too.

This took a very long time to set up in our electric ice cream maker. I'd say it was going for 2 hours, at least. Used 3 cups of whipping cream and poured up to the fill line w/two percent milk for the rest of the liquid. Only had about 1 2/3 T of vanilla, would have been better if it were the full 2 T, I think. Good, but will probably try another recipe.

This was delicious. I used 3 cups of heavy whipping cream in place of some of the milk. We had it at a cookout and everyone loved it. I will be using this recipe again.

this is a very good icecream recipe! i just bought a new icecream maker, and i looked for days to find just the right recipe to christen my machine. i did substitute most of the milk for a pint of half and half, and i only used 3/4 c of sugar, but it came out so rich and creamy! my kids cant wait to have a bowl. i really liked that you didn't have to use a lot of ingredients for it, and it made a full gallon of icecream. there are eight of us at home, so i need the bigger recipes. i can't wait to try this at our next church event. thanks, lisa l, wichita, ks.

This recipe is amazing! It fits into my low cal / low cholesterol diet and tastes great. It reminds me of the homemade ice cream my grandmother used to make.
