I love ice cream and did not love this. Neither did my husband. It tasted VERY artifical, even after adding a lot of candy and toppings. Tasted similar to the off-brand vanilla you can buy at the store with a slight pudding flavor. The recipe was also unclear as to how much milk to add concidering every ice cream maker has a different fill line depending on it's size. I just added the four cups which brought it shy of the fill line in my 6 quart machine. The texture was good after hard freezing it over night. If you could just substitute the pudding for something it would be much better.

I'm a huge ice cream fan, and this was only my second attempt at making my own. I thought it was wonderful! It was very creamy. I agree that it was a little sweeter, but a small reduction in sugar is easy enough. I didn't think the pudding added a store-bought taste to it at all and I used french vanilla pudding. I will make this again and try adding fruit or nuts.

This is a hit! We couldn't get enough of it. Is the best recipe and very versatile because you can change the flavor of pudding. It was great.

The recipe worked well in my machine, but was a bit too sweet. After taking about 1/3 of the sugar out, it was much better.

Fantastic...but I cooked it! I added all the ingredients to a double-boiler except for the vanilla, pudding mix, and milk. When the mixture got hot, I added the last 3 ingredients and cooked it until just boiling, then removed from heat. It just made me feel better knowing the eggs were cooked. I chilled the custard and then froze it in an ice cream maker. It was extremely creamy and very vanilla! I'll definitely adopt this recipe as our "standard" for vanilla ice cream!

We thought this recipe was excellent. I did use half and half for the heavy whipping cream(that's what I happened to have on hand.) I also cooked the milk and eggs and would recommend doing so. I actually made two batches of ice cream. In the second one we used mexican chocolate and a little brandy. It was really good!!! For those who think the recipe has an artifical taste, add your favorite ingredients and I'm sure it won't be noticed. This is very easy and a good basic recipe. Thanks, Lisa!

I am accustomed to cooked custard ice cream recipes, but had not gotten the custard made in time today for guests to arrive. I made it with pasteurized eggs to keep it safe, and I really thought it was excellent as did my guests.

I can't believe this recipe got such high ratings. True, it was easy to make and created a nice-looking ice cream, but the package of instant vanilla pudding gave it an artificial flavor that made it taste more store-bought than homemade.

I'm SOOOO glad I found this recipe!!! For years I've looked for a great vanilla ice cream recipe, but they all had a waxy feel to them. This is such wonderful ice cream - I'm sold. I, too, cooked the eggs with the cream. Thank you, Lisa, for submitting it!

The best vanilla ice cream recipe I've tried. I halved the recipe to make it fit my Krups machine and used the new pasteurized in the shell eggs to keep it safe for the family. Delicious.

WOW We made this tonight when we had friends over and they RAVED!! I barely have any left over. I halved the recipe for my small maker. I used 3 eggs, 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk, and the whole package of Pudding mix. We made Vanilla which was good but the pistachio was AMAZING!! We're going to try it with pinapple, nuts, and marshmallows to make pistachio salad ice cream. It does have a "pudding"y taste to it but not nearly enough to be "fudgescicle" like even with double the amount of pudding mix. TRY THIS!!!

My ice cream maker is really small so I had a lot of liquid to contend with and it took twice as long to make; but it was worth it. I'd make it again and either buy a bigger ice cream maker or figure out how to half the batch.
