This recipie is great! It was a bit too sweet thought what with condensed milk and sugar, so I suggest not putting the sugar in, that's what I did and it tasted even better.
This is the second time I've made this and it comes out perfectly! Instead of the 6 cups of milk I use 1 quart heavy cream and 2 cups milk. The texture is very smooth and creamy. No need to melt the sugar or anything. Thank you for this great recipe!
UPDATE.... THIS IS MY FAVORITE RECIPE!!! This recipe is the one that is most like real icecream. I now use this as a base for all kinds of flavors... The only thing I do differently is to use 2 pints of heavy whipping cream and 2 cups of whole milk. I find when you use both it defiantly tastes more like the ice cream you buy in stores and you don't end up w/ those ice crystals in it. So far I've made this plain for hot fudge sundays, I've made cookie dough... before freezing I just add chunks of cookie dough (also eggless that I got on this site... just follow suggestions in the reviews), I've made strawberry w/ crushed up fortune cookies in it (don't ask.. LOL), I've made choc chip using mini M&M's, I've made oreo.. I used a blender for half the package so I would have little specks of choc throughout the entire icecream and I crush up the rest of the package by hand so I've got some bigger chunks. Again, I add right before freezing and now my new favorite is mint choc chip. I just add 1 tbs of peppermint extract and before I freeze the icecream I added one Gharidelli (sp?) bittersweet chocolate bar that I chopped up into small pieces. It's even better than Bryers! Thanks for this recipe, I won't even try another one!
Pretty good and quick too. It is a little "hollow" tasting. My ice cream maker can't handle 32 servings so I put the extra into a gallon jug in my fridge; now I can make ice cream at a moment's notice. We just put about 1 3/4 cup mix into our 1 1/2 qt. machine. Turns out a little less than the 1 1/2 qt capacity.
Easy had a good taste but needed something added maybe more vanilla or some fruit.
A really great ice-cream recipe it was so simple. I think i would add a little less suger next time i make it but thats just my personal taste. I will definatly be making this again.
We all liked this simple recipe. I have had creamier homemade ice cream but this was so easy to do and it really does have a nice texture. Thanks for the great recipe.
This is a great recipe. I love it because it is simple and fast. Yes it is a bit sweet but who cares!! I'm going to use it to make cookies and cream. Yes I am going to leave the sugar out for that one.
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!!!
This recipe is very easy and the flavor is good but it's very icy... like ice milk you could buy years ago. I used 1% milk perhaps it would have been better using whole milk.
