Vanilla ice cream

[wackymother Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close wackymother]

I have a big, old-fashioned ice cream maker (the kind that uses ice and salt), and we want to make vanilla ice cream. Does anyone have a good, reliable, not-killingly-rich recipe?

We like Breyer's ice cream better than Haagen-Dazs; we're looking for that lighter ice-milk kind of texture, not the eggy-custardy ultra-smooth ice cream.

Thanks!

I'm sure Mike will be along any minute with his own personal recipe for you.

Until then this looks simple and light.Vanilla Ice Cream VIII - Allrecipes

Yeah, where's Mike now that I need him?

That recipe looks good, Lawren! I might substitute a cup or two of cream to make it richer, but I'm liking it. The kids love snow ice cream anyhow, but god only knows what they're ingesting when we make it. Thanks!

Probably yes. I do a lot of cooking, but I totally draw the line at the salt-rising bread. I mean, I'm sure it's delicious, but....

Sorry Mike, wherever you are!

Wacky,

Don't have a recipe for you, but I agree that Breyers is better than Haagen-Dazs, especially vanilla.

With Breyers, it's all in the bean. You can even see the little specks of vanilla bean in the ice cream. I think it's their vanilla bean that sets them apart.

I like the Breyer's texture. It's a little bit icy...perfect for root-beer floats! They recently changed the recipe, though, and added something called tara gum. Now the texture is kind of fakey-smooth, more like Edy's or Turkey Hill. I don't like it as much as the "old" Breyers, but it's still pretty good.

Looks like we have ice cream tasters just like wine tasters! I like ice cream as long as it is cold and creamy! My weight shows it too!

Mike will you marry me?

I'll do all the main courses and you can do desserts and anything that requires baking.

We'll get fat together and travel endlessly, sending the laundry out of course.

Hey, can I move in with you guys?

With Lawren doing all the main courses, Mike doing all the deserts, and the laundry being sent out, I'd be in heaven.

Hey, I'm willing to throw in a pot of sauce, and some meatballs, every now, and again, if it will clinch the deal.
