I love my ice cream maker, and I love the ice cream I get out of it. I made vanilla ice cream to go with a coconut cake my aunt brought for a get together. Vanilla ice cream is my favorite ice cream so I was excited to try it. I personally thought this ice cream lacked some flavor but was otherwise good.
I will be trying more vanilla ice cream recipes in the future to find the perfect one.
Vanilla Ice Cream (From: Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Maker Manual)
- 2 1/2 cups half and half
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
In medium saucepan over medium heat, heat half and half until very hot but not boiling, stirring often. Remove from heat; set aside.
Place egg yolks and sugar in mixer bowl. Attach bowl and wire whip to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 30 seconds, or until slightly thickened. Continuing on speed 2, very gradually add half and half; mix until blended. Return half and half mixture to medium saucepan; cook over medium heat until small bubbles form around edge and mixture is steamy, stirring constantly. Do not boil. Transfer half and half mixture into large bowl; stir in whipping cream, vanilla and salt. Cover and chill thoroughly at least 8 hours.
Assemble and engage freeze bowl, dasher, and drive assembly as directed in attachment instructions. Turn to stir (speed 1). Using a container with a spout, pour mixture into freeze bowl. Continue on satire for 15 to 20 minutes or until desired consistency. Immediately transfer ice cream into serving dishes, or freeze in an airtight container.

I love homemade vanilla ice cream. I made a vanilla bean ice cream over the summer that was absolutely to die for.
I’m due to make ice cream soon… despite the freezing cold and snow – lol!
I have a friend that loves making homemade ice cream too and would add all sorts of fruits inside. My favorite is her mango ice cream!
