I follow the directions exactly and it is fabulous. It is light, creamy and sweet. It is totally easy, as well. I have never had ice crystals in mine and I have made it 15+ times. I have thought about experimenting with the recipe, but I like it so well, I never do.

I chose to make this recipe my first try at vanilla ice cream due to no cooking required and no raw eggs in it. I used homemade vanilla (from this website), so the ice cream had little specks of vanilla bean in it, and was nice and creamy. The instructions say to mix the ingredients together IN the freezer container of the ice cream maker; don't do that if you have the kind of ice cream maker with the already-frozen canister! Mix them in a bowl and then add to the ice cream maker! Oh, I also scaled it down to 8 servings for my 1.5qt ice cream maker; it didn't make a lot; I think 16 servings would be about right for a full recipe. Thanks for the recipe, Jackie!

More like vanilla ice milk than ice cream... seemed too light, not creamy enough, but that may be my own fault for using half and half instead of heavy cream. But it does remind me of those shaved ices you can get in cafes, etc. Not bad, just not what I wanted/expected.

I wanted an egg-free recipe since a friend is pregnant. Followed the recipe but used only 3 tsp of vanilla and added 12 mini butterfinger bars moderately chopped up. No noticeable problems with the sugar being gritty, and the consistency was terrific. I couldn't believe it was firm as it turned out after only ~25 minutes in the ice-cream maker. Seems like an excellent base for whatever you want to try. My new go-to.

Yum yum yum. I'm so happy I found this easy recipe. I made it b/c I had all the ingredients in my kitchen. It was so quick and easy I'm already enjoying my ice cream! I can't wait to play with this recipe. Thanks! (PS - converted to 8 servings for my 1.5 qt ice cream maker.)

This is the best ice cream, as another reviewer said, we also put in Coffee-Mate creamer for a portion of the 1/2 and 1/2. You can use any flavor. I have gotten rave reviews every time I made this. It is now a birthday tradition in our family.

I add more vanilla to this recipe. I make it and store it in the freezer for later use. It gets very hard in the freezer, but it very tasty. Since my ice cream maker is small, I downsize the recipe for 8 servings and it works well.

I cut the recipe down to 12 servings to fit in my 1 & 1/2 qt ice cream maker. I was out of half & half so I used half cream & half 2% organic milk. I also scraped out a vanilla bean in place of the extract. Thsi ice cream was great! I removed half the batch from the freezer after it wsa done & then added 3 tbp. all natural peanut butter to the remainder & whirled it in my maker until it was mixed. That was great too!

Just tried this recipe for a church ice cream social (first time without cooked base ever), and the teenagers especially loved it ...was told it was the best vanilla ice cream at the party! Great tastes and did not have grainy or buttery problem...very tasty.

This is a very easy and delicious ice cream. Try it, you will not regret it. It does not leave a film in your mouth like many rich ice creams can, yet it tastes creamy and smooth.

I have made this recipe numerous times with numerous alterations and have finally find the one that works for me. I decrease the extract (personal preference). I heat the half-n-half/cream and sugar on the stove until the sugar is dissolved the night before I want to make the ice cream. I chill the mixture all night. I put the ice cream in my ice cream maker for about 25 min. Put it in the freezer for about 2 hours. Take it out and let it soften a little and serve. It was wonderful!! I make it way to often and my chocaholic son never seems to mind that it is vanilla!

Delicious recipe for homemade ice cream...I just modified it a little bit by using 1% milk instead of heavy cream, almost 2 cups sugar, and 4 big spoonfuls of vanilla. My entire family said it was the best ice cream they have ever had! Also, I warmed up the milk and dissolved the sugar in it so it wouldn't be gritty.
